With silver hair a ragged shirt 
   C/G          F               G
and baggy pants,    the old soft 
shoe
Am7              Em7  E7        
He jumped so high,     jumped so
        Am7 Am7/G  D7/F#  D7    
 high,                  Then he 
                G
lightly touched down.
   C           C/B      Am7      
I met him in a cell in New 
   C/G  F        G
Orleans I was down and out.
   C             C/B            
He looked at me to be the eyes of 
   Am7      C/G                F 
age        as he spoke right out.
             G

Am7           Em7  E7           
He talked of life,       talked 
     Am7 Am7/G  D7/F#  D7       
of life,                 he 
                  G
