"The Encyclopedia Salesman"
D
At the back of my brain is a man

I remember him clearly though no one else can
G
In his suitcase
D
He showed me the world

And I had a vision so grand

All that there is at the palm of my hand
G
I'll write off all the battles and wars
E
Erasing human scars
G A D
All day he's knocking doors all over cities
G
Under heat from 9 to 5
Gm D
The load is heavy, he's got a family
G
Hoping only to survive
A Bm A E
1 out of 20 and his light is glowing dim
G
He promised me tomorrow
Em D
But I can't do the same for him
D
The man took a seat at our table

He laid out the pages until I was able to
G
find myself
D
In between the words

He made a deal with my father

Letter to letter my mind wanders farther
G
They shake their hands
D
And off he goes again
G A D
All day he's knocking doors all over cities
G
Under heat from 9 to 5
Gm D
The load is heavy, he's got a family
