Joan Baez – Last Lonely And Wretched chords
Chords:
[Verse 1] B7 You're tired and you're poor, C B7 You long to be free, B7 But in this Godforsaken land C B7 You find no home, no family [Chorus] C G On the many roads that you've wandered B7 Em Since the day of your birth. Em B7 You've become one of the last, Em Em Lonely and wretched. [Verse 2] B7 Your hair is matted, C B7 Your face and hands are dirty, Bsus2 And the years that you've toiled C B7 Must number somewhere near thirty. [Chorus] C G The deepening of a sadness B7 Em Broke finally into madness. Em B7 You are truly one of the last, Em Em Lonely and wretched. [Verse 3] Bsus2 Your eyes are wild and frightening C B7 At the same time they are blessed B7 And I wonder if God died, C B7 Turned his back or only just rested. [Chorus] C G And you walked out on the seventh day B7 Em Through the big gates and on your way Em B7 To become one of the last, Em Em Lonely and wretched. [Refrain] G C For once you were a child. G Your cheeks were red, D You were well fed. Em You laughed and played D Till you got teary, C Ran to your mother B7 B7 When you were weary. [Verse 4] Bsus2 But somewhere you were forsaken C B7 Alone I'll not bear the blame Bsus2 And somehow all was taken, C B7 Your mind, your body, your name. [Chorus] C G Forgive us our unkindness, B7 Em Our desertion and our blindness, Em B7 With you, all the last, Em Em Lonely and wretched. [Outro] Em B7 Forgive us, all the last, Em Lonely and wretched.
