Esus

F#m

	D	G	D	A
It	's true that all the me	n you kn	ew were dea	lers

	Asus	A	E
Who	said they were	through with	dealing

	F#m
Every time you gave them s	helter

	E
I	know that kind of man

	F#m
It's hard to	hold the hand of anyone

	E	F#m
Who is	reaching for the sky just to	surrender,

	E	F#m	E	Esus	F#m
Who is	reaching for the sky just to	surren	de	r.

	D	G	D	A
	And  sweeping up the	jokers	that he	left behind

	Asus	A	E
You	find he	did not	leave you very much

	F#m
Not even	laughter

	E	F#m
	Like any dealer he was watching	for the card

	E
That is so high and	wild

	F#m
He'll never need to deal	another

	E	F#m
	He was just some Joseph looking for a	manger

	E	F#m	E	Esus	F#m
He was	just some Joseph looking for a	manger

	D	G	D
And then	leaning on your	window	sill

	A	Asus	A
	He'll say one day you	caused his	will

	E	F#m
	To weaken with your love and warmth and	shelter

	E
	And  taking from his wallet

	F#m
An old	schedule of trains, he'll say

	E	F#m
	I told you when I came I was a s	tranger

	E	F#m	E	Esus	F#m
I	told you when I came I was a	strange	r

	D	G	D
But	now another s	tranger s	eems

	A	Asus	A
To	want you to	ignore his	dreams

	E	F#m
As	though they were the burden of some	other

	E
	O you've seen that man before

	F#m
His golden	arm dispatching cards

	E	F#m
But now it's	rusted from the elbows to the	finger

	E	F#m
And he	wants to trade the game he plays for	shelter

	E	F#m	E	Esus	F#m
Yes he	wants to trade the game he knows for	shelt	er	.

	D	G	D	A
I	hate to watch a	nother	tired	man

	Asus	A
Lay	down his	hand

	E	F#n
Like he was	giving up the holy game of	poker

	E
And	while he talks his dreams to sleep

	F#m
You	notice there's a highway

	E	F#m
That is	curling up like smoke above his	shoulder.

	E	F#m
It is	curling just like smoke above his s	houlder.

	D	G	D
You	tell him to	come in	sit down

	A	Asus	A	E
	But something	makes	you turn a	round

	E	F#m
The	door is open you can't close your	shelter

	E
You try the	handle of the road

	F#m
It	opens do not be afraid

	E	F#m
It's	you my love, you who are the	stranger

	E	F#m	E	Esus	F#m
It's	you my love, you who are the	strange	r.

	D	G	D
	Well, I've been waiting,	I was	sure

	A	Asus	A
We'd	meet between the	trains we're	waiting for

	E	F#m
	I think it's time to board	another

	E	F#m
Please	understand, I never had a	secret chart

	E
To get me to the	heart of this

	F#m
Or any other	matter

	E
When he	talks like this

	F#m
You don't know what he's	after

	E
When he	speaks like this,

	F#m	E	Esus	F#m
You don't care what he's	afte	r.

	D	G	D
	Let's meet tomorrow i	f you	choose

	A	Asus	A
	Upon the shore,	beneath	the bridge

	E	F#m
	that they are building on some endless r	iver

	E
Then he	leaves the platform

	F#m
For the sleeping	car that's warm

	E	F#m
You realize, he's	only advertising one more	shelter

	E	F#m
And it	comes to you, he never was a	stranger

	E	F#m	E	Esus	F#m
And you	say ok the bridge or someplace l	ater.

	D	G	D	A
And then	sweeping up the	jokers	that he	left behind

	Asus	A	E
You	find	he did not l	eave you very much

	F#m
Not even	laughter

	E	F#m
	Like any dealer he was watching	for the card

	E
That is so high and	wild

	F#m
He'll never need to deal	another

	E	F#m
	He was just some Joseph looking for a	manger

	E	F#m	E	Esus	F#m
He was	just some Joseph looking for a	manger
