The Fighter

INTRO: E


#1.
E
I seen an old fighter, tired and in 
trouble,
                          B
who just couldn't take anymore.
Bm        B
Somethin' inside him kept fighting 
to finish,
                          E
with only his feet on the floor, 
yeah.


#2.
E
Lord, I know that it's worth any 
price you
could pay, to see truth in whatever 
B  A
disguise.
    B
But I'd have paid double for one 
look of pleasure,
                         E
a piece of relief in his eyes.

           A                   
Ain't that clown, laughin' like 
 E      A
crazy, ain't his
B              E
eyes empty and deep?
         A               E        
Don't he sound, sad as a baby, 
      B
when she cries out
       E
in her sleep.

E
We measured the space between Waylon
 and Willie,
                          B
and Willie and Waylon and me.
B
But there wasn't nothin' like Billy 
Jo Shaver,
              Dbm           E
what Billy Jo Shaver should be, no.

E
When he showed up sick, later, all 
bit by a spider,
             Gbm         A
and crazy to look in the eye.
   B
He put on a show that was sad as it 
should have been,
                     E
and nobody even knew why.
