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