   INTRO:  
 <u>D</u>   <u>D/G</u>  <u>D/E</u>  <u>D/A</u>  
 It was my first night in that roomin` house  
 in the last room down the hall.  
 I heard a hoarse voice and an old guitar  
 comin` through the paper thin walls.  
   A crazy nonsense nursery rhyme  
 it did not mean a thing.  
 But for the first of what was to be a thousand times  
 this is what I heard him sing.  
      Hold that "<u>D</u>" chord on the old guitar  
          `till I find the "<u>G</u>."  
      Drop it down to old "<u>E</u>" minor  
      `till the "A" chord rolls back home around to "<u>D</u>."  
 I had to lay there listening it seemed he was in the room.  
 The stranger with the melodies singin` there in the gloom.  
 And he repeated it over and over again such a soft and sinking sound.  
 It was kind of like a music box that was slowly windin` down.  
 And he sang it he hummed it he whistled it and he strummed it.  
 He laughed it and he cried it.  He did anything but hide it.           
      Hold that "<u>D</u>" chord on the old guitar  
          `till I find the "<u>G</u>."  
      Drop it down to old "<u>E</u>" minor  
      `till the "<u>A</u>" chord rolls back home around to me.  
 So I lay there in that lumpy bed counted Choruses instead of sheep  
 `till I banged on the wall and out I called "Hey bub I need some sleep."  
     stop pattern just base           
    A sudden void of silence then I heard that hoarse voice say  
                                                 resume pattern    
   "It weren`t so long ago boy they paid me to play.  
 So I said "It`s kind of late for music sir.  Two hours `till it`s daylight."  
 He answered "I need my music most in these dark hours of the night.  
 You see I`ve tried gettin` high on somethin` son; it only brings me down.  
 Stayin` dry don`t work out better boy `cause my eyes get wet and I drown.  
 Won`t you please let me continue and I`ll be in your debt.  
 You see I`m not singin` to remember son.  I`m just   singin` to forget.    
      Hold that "D" chord on the old guitar  
          `till I find the "G."  
      Drop it down to old "E" minor  
                                                     strum   strum    
      `till the "A" chord rolls back home around to me.  
 That`s when I said if I`m supposed to listen to you sir  
 one quick question then.  
 Why in the hell do you sing one song over and over again?  
  spoken  And this is what he said.  
           I gave her the music son.  She gave me the words.  
 Together we`d write the kinds of songs the angels must have heard.  
 Of course we`d fight like cats and dogs; life ain`t no rosebud dream.  
 Still where ever we`d go everybody`d know we were truly a team.  
 I can`t remember now if I`d done her wrong or if she`d done wrong to me.  
 Still all I know is when I let her go it did not set me free.  
 That`s when I said "You sound like what`s-his-name."  
 He said "That`s who I am.  
 But you can`t wrap a name around you boy  
 `cause it really don`t mean a damn.  
 You see a song don`t have no meanin` when it don`t have nothin` to say.  
 What she could do was magic son.  All I can do is play.         
 He started singin` again that`s when I drifted off  
 and maybe I`d dreamed what I`d heard  
 about the stranger with the melodies  
 who`d gone and lost the words.  
      Hold that "D" chord on the old guitar  
          `till I find the "<u>G</u>."  
      Drop it down to old "E" minor  
                                                         final   
      `till the "A" chord rolls back home around to "."
