Man From Out Of Town
Bill Morrissey
From the album "Inside"
Capo 3
[Verse 1]
G
The house burned down on a stormy night
Bm
and they never did find out why.
C
I just stood alone beneath the silver maple
Am G
Trying to keep my cigarettes dry.
[Verse 2]
G
Waiting for the firemen,
Bm
I couldn't save a thing,
C
And deep inside my home above the roar of the flame
Am G
I swore I heard the telephone ring.
[Verse 3]
G
The rain let up and we worked till dawn,
Bm
just me and the firemen,
C
And when they cut the power and the lines went dead,
Am G
I never got called again.
[Chorus 1]
Em Bm
The house was gone by the break of dawn,
C
the air was cold and grey.
G Bm
I just set off down the road alone,
Am C G C/G G C/G G
but it's always gone that way.
[Verse 4]
G
So young, so long ago
Bm
I thought I heard that train,
C
Calling out my name,
Am G
At least it sounded like my name.
[Verse 5]
G
Just a boy with no direction,
Bm
I left my home behind,
C
And the sky changed color
Am G
once I crossed that town line.
