Chords worked out by Geordan Rosario 

Lyrics typed out of the tape liner by Geordan Rosario, whose
vision is now even more damaged as a result.

** I'm really doubtful of the F/D chord in the refrain.  If
anyone figures it out, please tell me.

=================================================================

INTRO: Bb5 C5 Bb5 C5

    G5              B5      E5
The cigarette of a single man

Bb5                   A5
Burns in the ashtray by his bed

   G5                 B5       E5
He pulls the ring of another can

    B5          A5         C5
and holds it up beside his head

    Bb5               C5
The book he reads is on the floor

     G5               C5             G5
he's read it several times before


REFRAIN:

                    B5    E5   Bb5 A5 G5
Whats you got to go home to?

                    B5 E5   Bb5 A5 F5 C5
Whats you got to go home to?


    G5              B5      E5
The cigarette of a single man

Bb5                  A5
Sits on the ashtray on the bar

   G5                      B5       E5
He sits and sifts through several plans

    B5             A5       C5
But knows alone he won't go far

   Bb5             C5
He needs the love another has

   G5            C5
To help him if another can.


REFRAIN

BRIDGE:  Bb5 C5 Bb5 C5
       Bb5 C5 Bb5 C5


    G5              B5      E5
The cigarette of a single man

Bb5                 A5
Lays in the gutter by his side

G5                     B5      E5
Now he's one of those little lambs

    B5                       A5       C5
Who strayed too far from the flock to find

     Bb5             C5
He's better off without the grief

     G5              C5
That people wear between their teeth

    G5             C5
And in his mouth as he's asleep

    G5            C5
The cigarette of a single man

G5             C5
In his mouth between his teeth

    C5          G5      C5 E5 hold
The cigarette of a single man

G5                   B5    E5  Bb5 A5
Whats you got to go home to?

G5                   B5 E5  Bb5 A5 D5 C5
Whats you got to go home to?


REPEAT TO FADE:

G5                   B5    E5
Whats you got to go home to?

G5                    A5  D5
Whats you got to go home to?
