Capo 4

      (Am)                     (Cmaj9)    (C)There's a man who walks beside me he is who I used to be,
      (Dm)          (Am7)        (Fmaj7)and I wonder if she sees him and confuses him with me
      (Am)             (Cmaj9)      (C)And I wonder who she's pining for on nights I'm not around
(Fade in) Dm            Am7                Fmaj7Could it be the man who did the things I'm living down

       Am                     Cmaj9    CI was rougher than the timber shipping out of Fond du Lac
       Dm              Am7             Fmaj7When I headed south at seventeen, the sheriff on my back
    Am                 Cmaj9  CI'd never held a lover in my arms or in my gaze,
      Dm            Am7         Fmaj7So I found another victim every couple days

        Am                        Cmaj9   C        But the night I fell in love with her, I made my weakness known
       Dm               Am7             Fmaj7To the fighters and the farmers digging dusty fields alone
    Am                 Cmaj9  CThe jealous innuendos of the lonely-hearted men
       Dm                 Am7           Fmaj7Let me know what kind of country I was sleeping in

          Am                    Cmaj9    CWell you couldn't stay a loner on the plains before the war
        Dm                 Am7            Fmaj7When my neighbors took to slightin' me, I had to ask what for
  Am                   Cmaj9    CRumors of my wickedness had reached our little town
           Dm              Am7            Fmaj7Soon she'd heard about the boys I used to hang around

        Am                           Cmaj9    CWe'd robbed a great-lakes freighter, killed a couple men aboard
       Dm                  Am7                Fmaj7When I told her, her eyes flickered like the sharp steel of a sword
        Am                         Cmaj9    CAll the things that she'd suspected, I'd expected her to fear
         Dm                 Am7           Fmaj7Was the truth that drew her to me when I landed here
 
        Am                     Cmaj9    CThere's a man who walks beside me he is who I used to be,
       Dm            Am7             Fmaj7And I wonder if she sees him and confuses him with me
        Am                     Cmaj9    CAnd I wonder who she's pining for on nights I'm not around
         Dm              Am7               Fmaj7Could it be the man who did the things I'm living down

   Am  Cmaj9  C
   Dm  Am7  Fmaj7 x2

        Am                            Cmaj9    CWell I carved her cross from live oak and her box from short-leaf pine,
       Dm          Am7                 Fmaj7and buried her so deep, she'd touch the water table line
        Am                  Cmaj9    CAnd picked up what I needed and I headed south again
       Dm               Am7          Fmaj7To myself, I wondered, "Would I ever find another friend"

        Am                         Cmaj9   CThere's a man who walks beside her, he is who I used to be,
       Dm            Am7           Fmaj7and I wonder if she sees him and confuses him with me
