Intro: E5 D5 A5 E5 2x

            E5            D5  A5         E5
   Well, I know how it feels to be ripped from my roots
        E5             D5  A5      E5
   And tossed into a world unbending.
E5           D5  A5      E5
   Not long ago I was bitten by the truth
E5                         D5     A5         E5
  Some folks spend their whole life pretending.
         D5                             A5
  Now I start each mornin' with the sunlight by my side
E5             D5    A5   E5
  Find another highway, hitch another ride
          D5                            E5              A5
   And I use this six-string like an archer wields his bow
     C5                                  D5
   I believe when the arrow finds its mark
                   
   It pierces the soul.


E5                     G5                  E5          
   Three songs for a quarter each time I open my case
E5                       G5                  E5
   Four chords and the voice of a good man fallen from grace
E5                   G5    D5  E5                    G5
   No pity for me mister, I'm proud to be a drifter
           C5                  A5
   A long shot from bein' a star
                   C5   G5           A5 G5
   You know, the times ain't been easy
       D5 F5        A5  A5    E5
   For me and my Homeless Guitar. 


          E5          D5       A5   E5 
   Now I know how it feels to be judged in a glance
     E5              D5   A5          E5
   Stripped of your pride and your passion.
E5     D5  A5             E5
   I only know that the rivers of the soul
E5                   D5   A5        E5     
   Run deeper than birthright or fashion.


                D5                    A5
   I see you look me over, feel the weight of your stare
E5                   D5   A5           E5
   I'm sendin' you a message but you act like you don't care.
       D5               E5            A5
   I see a ripple, a crack in your facade
                  C5                                   D5
   You know, it really don't matter who you think you are
                        
   We're the same under God.

(Chorus)
A5                                 C5
   I thank the Lord above for the gift He's given me
E5                  G5
   I'm richer than most men 
E5
   Got a friend in my six-string
A5                              C5 
   In a world where trust ain't got no guarantee
D5
   If you ain't got a penny
          B5                                  
   Gonna sing you this song for free, yeah.      Akkorde wie Chorus

(Chorus)
         D5                              A5
   Oh, I use these six-strings like an archer wields his bow
        C5                              D5    
   I believe when the arrow finds its mark
                   
   It pierces the soul.

Chorus
                   C5   G5           A5 G5
   You know, the times ain't been easy
       D5 F5        A5  A5    E5
   For me and my Homeless Guitar.
