Em D
In the year of thirty-six,
C G
in the town of San Antone
Em D
a young man in a hotel room
C Am
stared down a microphone.
Em D
He sang each song once,
Bm C
and sang it once again.
Em D
And each song come from a hole inside
C G
where a soul once had been.
Em D
Those records made the jukes,
C G
all throughout the southland.
Em D
Pretty women wondered,
C Am
was he charmed or was he damned?
Em D
Look over his shoulder,
Bm C
was there something there he feared?
Em Em D
Turn your back for just one second,
C G
the man disappeared.
Em D
Word came through Saint Louis,
C G
up through Chicago
Em D
All the way to New York City
C Am
where the blues just come and go
Em D
Someone took his picture once
Bm C
and the angels stopped and cried.
Em D
In his eyes it was there to see,
C G
he'd crossed the other side.
Em D
In a bar on a warm spring night,
C G
was a man come to the door.
Em D
He had a bottle with a broken label,
C Am
Robert seen his face before.
Em D
He said, "This is my very best.
Bm C
Drink it down, drink it slow.
D
When I call your name again,
C G
you just pack up and go."
