Verse: C C7 On the Southside of Chicago, a man who’s not yet grown F C Went out for a ride but the car was not his own C Am He did not see the stop sign or the boy on a skateboard F G C Now he’s lying broken on the ground C C7 Nobody around he coulda, coulda drove away F C But he pulled on over to the curb and he ran out where he lay C Am Used his hoodie for a pillow said “little man you’re gonna be okay” F G C And he waited for the ambulance to come

Verse: C C7 Tender was the night down in the Tenderloin F C In an alley off O’Farrell Street, in the neon glow C Am Well she finally caught that dragon a mile from Chinatown F G C She took her wings and eased her body down C C7 She gave a little shudder, but no pain, she felt no pain F C And she knew that she was back on home in Morgantown again C Am She could smell the lady slippers and the wild thimble weeds F G C “Mama I was just mad, I never meant to leave”

Verse: C C7 Layin’ roof in Texas is the job for someone younger F C And so is catching fastballs from your Grandson in the summer C Am But there you are saying “Come on kid, lemme feel that hummer” F G C With your back and hips and knees on fire C C7 And he say “Come on Grandpa, when you gonna let me throw a curve?” F C And you’re looking back at him in the sun and you feel your heart is bursting C Am Let me keep him from himself and those that mean to hurt him F G C If that be your will, oh Lord

Instrumental: C C7 F C C Am F G C C C C C Verse: C C7 Right there off the interstate in Northwest Ohio F C In the amber waves of grain and the assemblies of crows C Am There rose the two twin spires beside a golden dome F G C The Islamic Mosque of Greater Toledo C C7 I was flying down the highway when it caught my eye F C I was sipping red cream soda, I was listening to Johnny Prine C Am And I saw that golden dome against a pink and purple sky F G C I was singing “don’t let your baby down”
