He Doesnt Know Why

F             G               F 
Penniless and tired, with your 
        G
hair grown long
      Dm             Am           
I was looking at you there and 
  Em          F
your face looked wrong
C           Dm     Em      F
Memory is a fickle siren's song
  G
I didn't understand


[Verse 2]

F           G            F       
In the gentle light as the morning 
G
nears
          Dm           Am         
You don't say a single word of 
  Em       F
your last two years
         C       Dm     Em       
Where you were or when you 
   F
reached the frontier
   G
I didn't understand, no

[Verse 3]

F                 G           F 
See your rugged hands and a 
     G
silver knife
       Dm              Am         
Twenty dollars in your hand makes 
   Em      F
you hold so tight
        C        Dm      Em      F
All the evidence of your vacant life
   G
My brother, you were gone


[Verse 4]

F                   G           
And you will try to do what you 
F   G
did before
         Dm             Am        
Pull the wool over your eyes, for 
  Em      F
a week or more
         C      Dm       Em      
Let your family take you back to 
F
your
G
Original mind.

There's nothing I can do

There's nothing I can say

There's nothing I can say
