E            Amaj7/E              E           Amaj7/E 
He comes home after working for so many, many years
E        Amaj7/E      E    A/E
Lays down weary on his bed
E      Amaj7/E  E                 Amaj7/E
So many worries, broken dreams and fears
E      Amaj7/E            E     A/E
hurting things that people said

[Chorus]

E       G#m                 A/E        E                     F#     A/E
Is there something you could do for him right now if you were there
        C#m                 D                A/E           B          D     E A/E E A/E E
Is there some kind word that you would say to him if you were there now, now

[Verse 2]

E Amaj7/E     E      Amaj7/E  
He don't remember mama
E       Amaj7/E       E     A/E
His mama never saw his face
E        Amaj7/E              E             Amaj7/E  
The wounds he suffered from an angry, bitter world
E   Amaj7/E              E      A/E
Are something time cannot erase

[Chorus]

E       G#m                 A/E        E                     F#     A/E
Is there something you could do for him right now if you were there
        C#m                 D                A/E           B          D     
Is there some kind word that you would say to him if you were there now, now

[Instrumental]

Is there something you could do for him right now if you were there
        C#m                 D                A/E           B          D     E A/E E A/E E
Is there some kind word that you would say to him if you were there now, now
E       G#m                 A/E        E                     F#     A/E
Is there something you could do for him right now if you were there

Is there some kind word that you would say to him if you were there now, now
