Verse
G#m F# F#sus G#m
E A E B
It's true that all the men you knew were dealers
Bsus B F#
Who said they were through with dealing
G#m
Every time you gave them shelter
F#
I know that kind of man
G#m
It's hard to hold the hand of anyone
F# G#m
Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender,
F# G#m F# F#sus G#m
Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender.
E A E B
And sweeping up the jokers that he left behind
Bsus B F#
You find he did not leave you very much
G#m
Not even laughter
F# G#m
Like any dealer he was watching for the card
F#
That is so high and wild
G#m
He'll never need to deal another
F# G#m
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
F# G#m F# F#sus G#m
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
E A E
And then leaning on your window sill
B Bsus B
He'll say one day you caused his will
F# G#m
To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter
F#
And taking from his wallet
G#m
An old schedule of trains, he'll say
F# G#m
I told you when I came I was a stranger
F# G#m F# F#sus G#m
I told you when I came I was a stranger
E A E
But now another stranger seems
B Bsus B
To want you to ignore his dreams
F# G#m
As though they were the burden of some other
F#
O you've seen that man before
G#m
His golden arm dispatching cards
F# G#m
But now it's rusted from the elbows to the finger
F# G#m
And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter
F# G#m F# F#sus G#m
Yes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter.
E A E B
I hate to watch another tired man
Bsus B
Lay down his hand
F# F#n
Like he was giving up the holy game of poker
F#
And while he talks his dreams to sleep
G#m
You notice there's a highway
F# G#m
That is curling up like smoke above his shoulder.
F# G#m
It is curling just like smoke above his shoulder.
E A E
You tell him to come in sit down
B Bsus B F#
But something makes you turn around
F# G#m
The door is open you can't close your shelter
F#
You try the handle of the road
G#m
It opens do not be afraid
F# G#m
It's you my love, you who are the stranger
F# G#m F# F#sus G#m
It's you my love, you who are the stranger.
E A E
Well, I've been waiting, I was sure
B Bsus B
We'd meet between the trains we're waiting for
F# G#m
I think it's time to board another
F# G#m
Please understand, I never had a secret chart
F#
To get me to the heart of this
G#m
Or any other matter
F#
When he talks like this
G#m
You don't know what he's after
F#
When he speaks like this,
G#m F# F#sus G#m
You don't care what he's after.
E A E
Let's meet tomorrow if you choose
B Bsus B
Upon the shore, beneath the bridge
F# G#m
that they are building on some endless river
F#
Then he leaves the platform
G#m
For the sleeping car that's warm
F# G#m
You realize, he's only advertising one more shelter
F# G#m
And it comes to you, he never was a stranger
F# G#m F# F#sus G#m
And you say ok the bridge or someplace later.
E A E B
And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind
Bsus B F#
You find he did not leave you very much
G#m
Not even laughter
F# G#m
Like any dealer he was watching for the card
F#
That is so high and wild
G#m
He'll never need to deal another
F# G#m
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
F# G#m F# F#sus G#m
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
