[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

  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.
