in the video Gill plays it with a capo on 4 ie a step up from the album so he's starting with C#m
(Cm)
Lying in my bed got no dreams in my head
(G) (Cm)
that haven't been drug cross the floor
(Cm)
waiting for the sun buried on the ocean
(G) (Cm)
for what feels like ten thousand years or more
(Fm) (Cm)
I have seen the mountain I have walked the valleys
(G) (Cm)
I've been through the cities I have walked the alleys
(Fm) (Cm)
on a summer evening with the racoons grieving
(G) (Cm)
I've seen the cold dark mare
(Bb) (Eb)
I was young and bold falling in love with barmaids
(G) (Cm)
out on cemetary row
(Fm) (Cm)
my pockets lined with gold, waiting for the crusades
(G) (Cm)
to leave this helpless world alone

I looked from flesh and bone on the place that I called home
standing in the ruins of downtown
Iron lace haunted street, itching heel has got me beat
but there's nothing that important to me now
I was born a rambler I guess I always will
once you get the habit you just can't stand still
but now I'm all dishevelled running like the devil
on my hind legs in the sun
There were many times I wish that I'd have stayed
but I know I can't go home
I tried to stay in time but time slips away
now I'm out here on my own

when you're poor without a dream this old world keeps getting mean
and happiness is just a word you know
left in a world of pain ten thousand miles of railroad train
it doesn't really matter where I go
Cross the states by moonlight I often wonder
if they'll ever hang me for all the love I stole
O Mr Organ Grinder Please tell me where to find Her
O Lady Luck just dropped me cold
Sometimes I'm lost sometimes I'm driven
sometimes I know not where to roam
they're gonna bury me on some forgotten morning
until then I have no home
