Capo on 6th fret
[Verse1]
I [Am7]met him outside a [Gsus4]hostel doo[Fmaj7]door [Gsus4]
He said [Am7]I’ll tell you [Gsus4]mine if you [Fmaj7]tell me yours [Gsus4]
I k[Am7]now you think it’s s[Gsus4]hifty for a[Fmaj7] man in his f[Gsus4]ifties to be
sl[Am7]sleeping in a [Gsus4]hostel dor[Fmaj7]dorm
But I u[Am7]sed to be a w[Gsus4]elder by t[Fmaj7]rade [Gsus4]
Used to w[Am7]work by the [Gsus4]water where the [Fmaj7]ships get m[Gsus4]made
But no s[Am7]shipyard will [Gsus4]take me now
My [Fmaj7]hands are too [Gsus4]shaky now
I’ve s[Am7]spend all my [Gsus4]money before I get[Fmaj7]get paid
[Chorus1]
And I said [Gsus4]David, don’t you think it’s st[C]strange
While [Fmaj7]you were in your dark room
How the w[C]world went and changed
L[Gsus4]Looking in your eyes, I think you k[Am7]know
That D[Fmaj7]David, we lost you,[Gsus4]you, lost you a long time [Am7]ago
[Interlude]
[Am7] [Gsus4] [Fmaj7] [Gsus4] [x3] [Am7] [Gsus4] [Fmaj7]
Ooh, ooh, oh, oh,…
[Verse2]
He leans his h[Am7]head against the [Gsus4]hostel [Fmaj7]wall
[Gsus4]Said I have an [Am7]ex-wife that doesn’t[Gsus4]doesn’t hear me
And a[Fmaj7]a kid that doesn’t[Gsus4]doesn’t call
And every m[Am7]month I’m caught [Gsus4]short
With my f[Fmaj7]fucking child s[Gsus4]support
And the c[Am7]ourt says that I’m r[Gsus4]eckless and irre[Fmaj7]sponsible
‘Cause it was n[Am7]never part of the[Gsus4]the plan
To be a [Fmaj7]middle aged man
[Gsus4]To be [Am7]sat outside a [Gsus4]hostel, shaking st[Fmaj7]strangers’ [Gsus4]hands
But I’ve d[Am7]drunk away my w[Gsus4]wealth
And I’m a p[Fmaj7]picture of bad [Gsus4]health
And I’m a s[Am7]hadow of a s[Gsus4]hadow of a f[Fmaj7]ormer self
[Chorus2]
And I said [Gsus4]David, don’t you think it’s st[C]strange
For [Fmaj7]years you were walking
And how the w[C]world went and changed
I[Gsus4]I hear it in your voice, I think you k[Am7]know
That D[Fmaj7]David, we lost you,[Gsus4]you, lost you a long time [Am7]ago
[Interlude]
[Am7] [Gsus4] [Fmaj7] [Gsus4] [x7] [Am7] [Gsus4] [Fmaj7]
Ooh, ooh, oh, oh,…
[Chorus3]
(play every chord only once)
And I said [Gsus4]David, don’t you think it’s st[C]strange
[Fmaj7]While you were sleeping
How the w[C]world went and changed
L[Gsus4]Looking in your eyes, I think you k[Am7]know
That D[Fmaj7]David, we lost you,[Gsus4]you, lost you a long time ago [Am7]
