G
He carries his ID
D Em
And his books bound in leather
C G
And a change of clothing
C G D
And a picture of Anna when she was younger
C G
Least he forget her.
Bm
And in among his papers
G
is a list of all the people he knew
Bm
And many unsent letters, Telling someone that he'd be there
G
Sometime soon.
D G D
Hey stranger! Aren't you the tiredness that remains
Bm
When you think freedom cant be measured
C C/B Am
By the scuffles on your boots?
G
Hey hey hey
[Verse 2]
G D Em
Now he dreams of Anna a life in the time they were together
C G
He was hard and she was supple
C G
Where they lived out in the country
D
She thought gentle
C G
Like his hands upon her body
Bm
And when Anna felt the cooling wind
G
David felt the need to be blown down
Bm
And when Anna felt the cleansing rain
G
David fought the fear that he might drown
D G D
Hey stranger! And now you wonder through the country
Bm
That you hope is much less frightening
C C/B Am
When it's quicker passing by
G
Hey hey hey
[Verse 3]
G
Now in Southern Arizona
D Em
At the Last Chance diner counter
C G
Being questioned by the waitress
C G
He prepares for the desert
D
With his freedom
C G
And a canteen of water.
