Kristofferson Kris — Pilgrim

    	    	Вступление

G
See him wasted on the sidewalk in his jacket and his jeans, 
C  G  G
Wearin' yesterday's misfortunes like a smile,
C  G  Em  
Once he had a future full of money, love, and dreams, 
A  D
Which he spent like they was goin' outa style
G 
And he keeps right on a'changin' for the better or the worse, 
C  D  G  G
Searchin' for a shrine he's never found - 
C  G
Never knowin' if believin' is a blessin' or a curse, 
C  D  G
Or if the goin' up was worth the comin' down -
 
CHORUS:
C 
He's a poet, he's a picker -
G
He's a prophet, he's a pusher -
D  G
He's a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he's stoned -
C  G
He's a walkin' contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction, 
D  G
Takin' ev'ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home. 
 
A
He has tasted good and evil in your bedrooms and your bars, 
D  A  D
And he's traded in tomorrow for today - 
D  A  Fm
Runnin' from his devils, Lord, and reachin' for the stars, 
B7  E
And losin' all he's loved along the way -   
 
E  A
But if this world keeps right on turnin for the better or the worse
D  E  A
And all he gets is older and around -
D  A
From the rockin' of the cradle to the rollin' of the hearse, 
D (or Bm) E  A  A  
The goin' up was worth the comin' down - 
 
CHORUS 
D
He's a poet, he's a picker -
A
He's a prophet, he's a pusher -
E  A
He's a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he's stoned -
D  A
He's a walkin' contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction, 
E  A
Takin' ev'ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home. 
E  A
There's a lotta wrong directions on that lonely way back home.
