Maybe you heard your old buddy's gone crazy 
              G                             C 
Searchin' for words to deep-seat reason and rhyme 
                    F                         C 
Livin' alone on his own, and he's prone to be lazy 
           G                  C 
Turnin' to stone, blasted and blind

You oughta know, give him a hand, if you can 
       C               G                  C 
But at least for Jesus Christ's sake understand

          G                  C 
Day after day, more than her mind

Learnin' to play the part has her turnin' to strangers
