Verse 1:
Bm D
Got a message in my head
A
that the papers had all come
Bm
Richard Manuel is dead
D
and the daylight`s comin` on
A
I`ve been wandering through the dark
Bm (B) (C) D
now I`m standing on the lawn


Chorus:
A Bm D
If I could give all my love to you
A
I could justify myself
G D
but I`m just not coming through
A
You`re a pill to ease the pain
G D
of all the stupid things I do
(C) Bm
I`m an anchor on the line
G
of a clock that tells the time
A G D (play first 1/2 of intro riff over A
G D)
that is running out on you


Verse 2:
Bm D
It was cold when I awoke
A
and the day was halfway done
Bm
Nearly spring in San Francisco
D
and I cannot feel the sun
A
You were sleeping next to me
Bm (B) (C) D
but I knew that you`d be gone


Repeat Chorus


Lead-in to solo:
E-|-----------------------------|-
B-|-----------------------------|-
G-|-----------------------------|-
D-|-----------------------------|-
A-|-----------------------------|-
E-|----4~--5------4~--5-4-5-6~--|-7

Solo chords: (key of A, I think)
Bm D A E
Bm D A G D


Verse 3:
Bm D
Take some time before you go
A
To think of Mondays coming down
E
and the people that you knew
Bm
and the ones that aren`t around
D
You`ve been fading day to day
Bm D
I`ve been moving town to town

Repeat Chorus twice
(skip the intro riff between these repeats)
End with a variation on Riff 1 (it`s a really easy variation)
