INTRO:  
D                      A4      
Old man comes out of the rain 
G                      A4 
His hearts as heavy as night 
D                          A4 
There was a time, he was a soldier boy 
G                 A4 
He had good times before the war 
D                 A4 
There was a girl he could've called his wife 
G                         A4               D 
But he let her slip right through his hands 
 
He plays guitar on the corner some 
But not enough to be a star 
But it's enough just to have some fun 
And make some people happy awhile 
 
G                    A4 
He's searching for a sight unseen 
D               G      
What his father has not been 
G                   A4                D 
He's searching for a feeling he calls home 
 
He went to church to pray for a sign 
Throw me a rope, Lord, throw me a line 
So I can hang on a rock and climb 
I don't really care 
 
Just want to find my way 
Sing the songs that my guitar plays 
Make a child smile, make a daddy cry 
Make my momma sing a lullabye 
 
I'm... 
 
CHORUS
