The song is played in a modified Travis picking style with a

INTRO
------
C C
C C
VERSE 1
-------
C C
Well he woke up that mornin' and he called into work
C C
Put on his daddy's old suit with a 2nd hand shirt
F F
All un-tucked, shoes un-tied
C C
People all snickered as he walked by
F F
So he stopped into a bar and bought a shot of Stephen's
C C
And another
F F
He bummed a cigarette instead of talkin' with a stranger
C C
About the weather
Am G
And then he paid his bill and he stepped outside
C F
And fell down into the street
C G
He cursed and he cried as he climbed back up to his
F G
feet again
VERSE 2
-------
C C
So up the road he found a payphone and called his mom
C C
He said Mom I think I'll be coming home
F F
I've been feeling so bad, I'm tired of this city.
C C
Ain't been the same since I lost my pretty
F F
Angeline, and Mom I miss her
C C
so.
F F
It's been over a year and there ain't nothin' I fear
C C
So much as being alone.
Am G
And then he hung up the phone without saying good bye
C F
Stopped in the store and bought a postcard and signed it
C G
Fare the well, and sent it back home
F G
To Yuma.
(Instrumental transition)
C C G (4 beats, 2 beats, 2 beats)
BRIDGE
------
Am G
Looking back I'd say,
F C
It wasn't so much the girl
F C
As it was the booze and the dope
Gsus4 G
And the way he took the weight of the world up upon his
Am Am
Shoulders
F F
And then he washed the blue from his eyes as he grew
C C
colder
F Gsus4
After all those lonely nights there left alone.
(Instrumental transition)
G5 Gsus4 G Gsus2 (2 beats per chord)
G' (4 beats only)
VERSE 3
-------
C C
So he was just 23 when he stepped out on that ledge
C C
It was his weary heart that pushed him to the edge
F F
He was tired of living life, looking for love.
C C
A weary heart just needs a little touch
F F
And it is too much to ask, he cried as he stepped into the
C C
wind.
F F
He turned his back on the world and he fell back to earth
C C
again.
Am G
So with the wind in his hair and a smile on his face
C F
He crashed through the hood of an Oldes 98
C G
And he lay there and died on a cold winter's day
F G
All alone
C C
All alone.
