Maybe you heard your old buddy's gone crazy 
              G5                             C5 
Searchin' for words to deep-seat reason and rhyme 
                    F5                         C5 
Livin' alone on his own, and he's prone to be lazy 
           G5                  C5 
Turnin' to stone, blasted and blind 

 1: 
             F5                                      C5 
Don't turn away there, hey goddamn you, he was your brother 
             F5                                           C5 
Turn on your father, sister, mother, brother he was your friend 
             F5                     C5          F5 
Don't you condemn him , leave it to strangers 
           C5     G5          C5            F5 
You oughta know, give him a hand, if you can 
       C5               G5                  C5 
But at least for Jesus Christ's sake understand

          C5               F5                        C5 
Maybe you heard that they say that the lady's been changin' 
          G5                  C5 
Day after day, more than her mind 
                     F5                       C5 
Learnin' to play the part has her turnin' to strangers 
          G5               C5 
Goin' too far, line after line

Don't you condemn her, leave it to strangers 
           C5     G5          C5            F5 
You oughta know, give her a hand, if you can
