 D
Called to Madonna
     D 
To give me a line
          G                 Gm  
She said boy what have you done
 D                         D 
Passing your time with a holy man
 G                          Gm  
Talking about the moon and sun
    D                Bm
But I can't tell the difference
   F#m                G  A
Between the fool and wise
  D                  D 
Show me a river to follow
  G                  Gm  
Away from all these lies

Chorus:
A
I've been on my own so long
           G        C   G
Won't you lend me your hand
A
I've been picking up my bones too long
          G    Fmaj7
Won't you understand

Called to the captain
To put me ashore
For it looked like no man's land
Is this the way to follow
I cried as I shook his hand
He told me had no answer
He didn't really hold the key
I am a simple man
Was all he said to me

Chorus - x3

Heard my mother crying
She was calling out my name
Whisper in the dark night
Saying who's to blame
The hour glass keeps turning
With not enough sand to see
I am a holy man
So don't you bother me

Chorus - x2
