IF HE CAME BACK AGAIN
INTRO: D
D
You'd have thought a king had died
The way those people cried
G D
Instead of one more broken entertainer
It struck those in his trade
He could have had it made
G D
If he'd only been a little saner
A
They traveled far to see him
D style='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'> G
Oh, the humble and the high
D style='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>
They said goodbye as if he were a friendstyle='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>
CHORUS:
A
Now somewhere he is smiling
D style='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>G
On those who idolized him
D style='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>
But would they even recognize him
A D
If he came back again?
D
He was born of modest means
But had outrageous dreams
G D
They never let him rest
Till he fulfilled them
D
While he rode that train of song
His devils tagged along
G D
The whiskey and the pills
Just couldn't kill him
He didn't mean to be a rebel
G D
Ah, the real ones never do
D
They're born apart from ordinary men
CHORUS:
A
Now somewhere he is smiling
D style='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>G
On those who idolized him
D style='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>
But would they even recognize him
A D
If he came back again?
A
It's an old familiar story
D style='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'> G
But it's a damn shame none-the-less
D
They don't forgive his kind
D style='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'> A
Till they lay them down to rest
CHORUS:
A
Now somewhere he is smiling
D style='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>G
On those who idolized him
D style='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>
But would they even recognize him
A D
If he came back again?
