   A                             D
He comes like rain. Like wind he goes,
     A                   E
Wasting no one's time or tears.
       A                       D
He bears the pain and takes the blows
      A              E7     A
As he walks out his lonely years.

     D                         A
Although the wealthy share the spoils,
                             E
Still the good times pass him by.
        A                D
They say he is too old to toil,
      A                  E7    A
And yet he's still too young to die.

    

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



The road unwinds into the night.
He lifts his bindle and moves on,
And dark against the fading light,
His frail form dwindles and is gone.

   D                         A
Perhaps he'll pass this way again,
                        E7
And maybe not, for no one knows.
       A                   D
It doesn't matter where or when.
   A                        E7    A
He comes like rain. Like wind he goes.

  A                        D
Perhaps he'll pass this way again,
         A                 E
And maybe not, for no one knows.
     A                    D
It doesn't matter where or when.
         A                   E7   A
He comes like rain. Like wind he goes.
