Ballad Of A Lonely Man

Ballad Of A Lonely Man: Chords

A     D       A
I'm young and I'm strong
              F#m          D            A
I've got this God forsaken world by the balls!
           E       D         A
I've got a one-way ticket to freedom
A                     E                   A
  Ain't got no one now gonna take it from me
        A        D          A
I was a soldier, age twenty-one
     F#m         D                        A
In a war I'm not sure what I was fighting for
          E             D        A
And yet I turned from a boy to a man there
A                     E               A
  Goodbye to innocence and a sweet sixteen

F#m        D      A           E
  My whole life I could not arrange
F#m         D      A           E
  My wicked ways I could never change
      F#m        D      E        A
Don't try, don't try now to understand
    A                 E            A
For this is the ballad of a lonely man

         A  D         A
Close to me is a photograph
     F#m         D          A
Of a family left far, far behind
          E   D               A      
At once I had love it slipped away from
             A       E          A
I searched a lifetime but could not find

     A        D                  A
In a hospital bed, I'm violently ill
         F#m                D        A
Just one more drink nurse I swear to God!
            E        D         A
I've got my St. Anthony and my whiskey
A                 E           A
 Yes I'm a veteran of three foreign wars!

F#m        D      A           E
  My whole life I could not arrange
F#m         D      A           E
  My wicked ways I could never change
      F#m        D      E        A
Don't try, don't try now to understand
    A                 E            A
For this is the ballad of a lonely man
