[No capo.]
[Each chord is one measure.]
D D Em Em A A D D
[intro]
D D Em Em A A D D
Rain like static falling in my eyes, rain like static on the road
D D Em Em A A D D
Rain on the loners and the regular thieves, everybody else has gone home
D D Em Em A A D D
If I could stay in your hotel bed, and sleep all day
D D Em Em A A D D
I made my mind up a long time ago, got to keep on weaving my way
G A D D G A D D
Like a la - ate night pilgrim, looking for redemption in the underground
Bm A G E A A D D
Lord, won't you help a late night pilgrim, when the morning comes around
D D Em Em A A D D
You'll get dirtier before you get clean, that's how a dream will go
D D Em Em A A D D
And when it don't light like gasoline, baby, you're on your own
G A D D G A D D
Just a la - ate night pilgrim, looking for redemption in the underground
Bm A G E A A D D
Lord, won't you help a late night pilgrim, when the morning comes around
Bm A G G Bm A G G Bm A G G A A A A
[guitar solo]
D D Em Em A A D D
Sometimes I am the fool who's dealing cards, to a ghost who's running late
D D Em Em A A D D
Sometimes the prophets they are just like me, can't do nothing but sit up and wait
G A D D G A D D
With the la - ate night pilgrims, looking for redemption in the underground
Bm A G E A A D D
Lord, won't you help a late night pilgrim, when the morning comes around
Bm A G E E A A D D D D.
Lord, won't you help this late night pi-i-ilgrim, when the morning comes around
