CAPO I
INTRO: C
Maybe you [C]heard, [F]your old buddy's gone [C]crazy
Searchin' for [G]words to deep sweet reason and [C]rhyme
Livin' alone more and [F]more, and he's prone to be [C]lazy
Turnin' to [G]stone, blasted and [C]blind
CHORUS 1:
Don't turn a[F]way there, hey goddamn ya, he was your [C]brother
Turn on your [F]father, sister, mother, brother he was your f[C]riend
Don't you con[F]demn him, oh leave it to [C]strangers[F]
You oughta [C]know him, [F]give him a [C]hand, if you [F]can
But at [C]least for Jesus [G]Christ's sake under[C]stand
BREAK: C F C G C
Maybe you heard that they say that the lady's been changin'
Day after day, more than her mind
Learnin' to play with the part has her turnin' to strangers
Goin' too far line after line
CHORUS 2:
Don't turn away there, hey goddamn ya, you used to love her
Turn on your father, sister, mother, mister she was your friend
Don't you condemn her, leave it to strangers
You oughta know her, give her a hand, if you can
But at least for Jesus Christ's sake understand
