If He Came Back Again

D A D A D

[Verse]
D
You'd have thought a king had died,

The way those people cried
  G                       
Instead of one more broken 
      D
entertainer
D
It struck those in his trade

He could have had it made
G                           D
If he'd only been a little saner
A
  They traveled far to see him
         D              G
Oh, the humble and the high
      D              Bm         
They said goodbye as if he were a 
   F#m   G
friend

      A
Now somewhere he is smiling
     D           G
On those who idolized him
      D               Bm       A
But would they even recognize him

If he came back again?

D
He was born of modest means

But had outrageous dreams
 G
They never let him rest
            D
Till he fulfilled them
While he rode that train of song
His devils tagged along
      G
The whiskey and the pills
               D
Just couldn't kill him
           A
He didn't mean to be a rebel
          D             G
Ah, the real ones never do
         D               Bm      
They're born apart from ordinary 
F#m  G
men

      A
And somewhere he is smiling
     D            G
On those who sanctified him
      A                Bm      A
But would they even recognize him
                  D
If he came back again?

         A
It's an old familiar story
             D                  G
But it's a damn shame none the less
      Bm
They don't forgive his kind
           G                A
Till they lay them down to rest

A
And somewhere he is smiling
     D           G
On those who idolized him
      A               Bm       A
But would they even recognize him
                  D
If he came back again?

D
Oh, if he came back again
