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