A                   G
He's a black haired boy of some confusion
       D                       A
and he makes no excuse for the things that he's usin'
     A                     G
He's gentle and wild and a child of the mountain
    D                             E7
his words are for singing and his days are for countin'

[Chorus]
         A             D    A              E
And he's looking for a home he's scared to find
     A                        D              E
Some lady beside him and he's drunk on white wine
     A           D            A              E
Some lady beside him and he's drunk on white wine

       A                          G
He's a devil in the morning and a savior at night
D                    A
Tomorrow's a case of whatever's right
A                         G
Lonesome and high are the things that he feels
        D                           E7
And the cards that he plays are the ones that he deals

[Chorus]
         A             D    A              E
And he's looking for a home he's scared to find
     A                        D              E
Some lady beside him and he's drunk on white wine
     A           D            A              E
Some lady beside him and he's drunk on white wine

     A                         G
He's one of the chances you're entitled to take
     D                           A
He's one of the hearts that it's too late to break
     A                   G
I've seen him be sad and never know why
     D                       E7
Seen him fall down to laugh, seen him stand up to cry

[Chorus]
         A             D    A              E
And he's looking for a home he's scared to find
     A                        D              E
Some lady beside him and he's drunk on white wine
     A           D            A              E
Some lady beside him and he's drunk on white wine

[Chorus]
         A             D    A              E
And he's looking for a home he's scared to find
     A                        D              E
Some lady beside him and he's drunk on white wine
     A           D            A              E
Some lady beside him and he's drunk on white wine
