He walks around always with a smile
CDG
I never knew how he was hurtin inside
GAm
One day I saw him crying over a photograph
CDG
That was dog eared and tattered from the miles
He noticed me so he told me her name was rose
Then from a frown he forced a smile from ear to ear
He said she's the reason the good lord put me on this earth
Now I can't understand why she's gone and I'm still here

ABm

DEA

DEDA
Lightin strikes sometimes twice fate deals the same hand
DEDE
I've seen the future I see my future
DEA
I've seen my future in a man

EF#B
