Verse 1 Dm Dm/C# Dm/C G And he sits beside the fountain with his head bowed down, don’t look around C C/B Am At the grey steel and the concrete a man has never known a colder home G Am With fifty cents for burgundy, a paper bag that holds a change of socks E and a bible that’s too poor to hock Verse 2 Dm Dm/C# Dm/C G And I looked into his eyes they were blue like mine I recognized C C/B Am The hollow sunken feeling like some work of art they painted G Am To hang upon the wall as we gathered round to praise the honesty E of one man’s lonely misery Chorus F Fm And every heart that ever broke one man’s dreams a heavy load C G F C That died from an overdose of on the road sits all alone... Verse 3 Dm Dm/C# Dm/C G I gave the man some money and wished him well as my eyes fell C C/B Am To his feet, the bottom of a body wrapped up inside such ragged clothes G Am That I felt like a millionaire with little more, but rich, so rich in love E and no one gives a damn for him Verse 4 Dm Dm/C# Dm/C G And I hope that he finds Jesus or a bed tonight, or another drink C C/B Am I’d take him home but you see now I don’t live alone G Am And even if I did some other reason would make me think of the places E that I must go Chorus F Fm And every heart that ever broke one man’s dreams a heavy load C G F C That died from an overdose of on the road sits all alone... Verse 5 Dm Dm/C# Dm/C G And maybe if he got a shave and washed the blood off of his face C C/B Am And changed his suit, he’d be some use to this country, this prosperity G Am But he’s bleeding in his soul they haven’t found a cure for that you see E except for maybe burgundy Chorus F Fm And every heart that ever broke one man’s dreams a heavy load C G F C That died from an overdose of on the road sits all alone...
