NOTE: If anything seems unclear (i.e. rhythm, tempo, etc.) just listen to the song - it
should be fairly self-explanatory. The addition of "Bm7" in the song is based less on
the actual recording and more according to what would sound interesting if, for instance,
the only instrument played were an acoustic guitar - it's more or less "inferred," so to
speak.
I'm a soul drifter
And I'm out of this town
Ain't no use hangin' 'round
You see
My heart was broken
My part was spoken
Now the ground has opened
All around me
I'm a soul lifter
And it's out of my hands
So it's off to other lands
You see
It's a new dawn
So it's so long
For the soul lifter
The soul drifter
That's me
