G 


[Verse 1]
G                            G
Strange things happen in the city
G                            G
Strange things happen in the street
C                             C
Here I am, here I am out here walkin'
G                        G
Walkin' in wilderness so deep


[Chorus]
Em                                    F
And in every passing car I hear her callin'
D#                       C
In everyone she speeds away


[Verse 2]
G                                 G
Hey Lord, help me now because I'm leanin'
G                        G
And I don't want to fall away
G                          G
All my life I've held this hammer
C                       C
Hammered boulders into stones
G                       G
Now I choke on tears of anger
C                        C
And I am quickly growin' cold
G                                  G
Lord, I wish that you could see me


[Chorus]
Em                       F
I stagger now on wounded Atlas
D#                         C
Nothing else but blood and bones


[Verse 3]
G                                 G
Lord, help me now because I'm drowning
G                             G
My boat don't know the way to shore
G                    G
Now I find myself in Kansas
C                         C
Here I am, here I am with aging hustler
G                                     G
Born without a mother, born without a soul


[Chorus]
Em                   Fm
I ask somebody for a quarter
D#                          C
There was someone for me to phone


[Verse 4]
G                             G
Lord, don't you hear me, I am calling
G                               G
Lord, help me now, don't let me fall
G                                  G
I find myself in Charlotte, find myself in Jacksonville
C                  C
Here I am, I'm disappearing
G                              G
There's nothing left for me to kill


[Chorus]
Em                            F
In every train that's running by me
D#                        C
I hear her singing in the wind


[Verse 5]
G                            G
Lord, help me now, I'm going over
G                            G
Lord, help me now, I'm going down
G     G
Heyyyyeyyyy
G             G
Mmmmm  mmmmmm
C        C
  Ohhhhh  ohhhhh
G        C
Ohhhhhh  heyyyy
Em     F
       Ohhhhhh
D#   C
Ahhh heyyyy


[Outro]
G                          G
Lord, don't you hear me crying
G                           G
Don't you hear me sayin' goodbye
G          G
mmmmmmmm mmmmmmm
G         G
mmmmmmmmm mmm
