[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]

[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]

[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
