[Intro] F Bb F F F Bb F Bb F Bb F Bb C C
[Verse] F Bb F Oh, I was sent to find the lonesome place Bb C Where I was lost but left to trace Dm Bb C By carving riddles on the lonesome vine F Bb F Oh, but rumor has it that I wasn't born Bb C I just walked in one frosty morn Dm Bb C Into the vision of some vacant mind
[Chorus] Bb C F Bb Oh, once I held a pony by its flagging mane Bb C F Bb And once I called the shadow in the turning game Dm C Bb C But I will fight this stranger that you should fear Dm C Bb F So I won't be a burden of tomorrow dear
[Interlude] F Bb F Bb
[Verse] F Bb F Oh Xavier's on the border of the sun Bb C Swings on the chambers of your guns Dm Bb C And tries to shoot the chord and light the path F Bb F Oh but hell I'm just a blind man on the plains Bb C I drink my water when it rains Dm Bb C And live by chance among the lightning strikes
[Chorus] Bb C F Bb Oh, once I held a glacier to an open flame Bb C F Bb And once I felt like wildcat in the fallen game Dm C Bb C But I will fight this stranger that you should fear Dm C Bb F So I won't be a burden of tomorrow dear
[Interlude] F Bb F F F Bb
[Outro] Bb C F Bb Oh the singer's on the edge to feed the canyon's mouth Bb C F Dm They will go on forever til they sing you out of time Dm C Bb C But I will fight this stranger that you should fear Dm C Bb F So I won't be a burden of tomorrow dear
