Last Lonely And Wretched by Joan Baez
Last Lonely And Wretched
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:2nd fret
Standard tuning
Bsus2 played X02420
[Verse 1]
Bsus2
You're tired and you're poor,
C B7
You long to be free,
Bsus2
But in this Godforsaken land
C B7
You find no home, no family
[Chorus]
C G
On the many roads that you've wandered
B7 Em
Since the day of your birth.
Em B7
You've become one of the last,
Em Em
Lonely and wretched.
[Verse 2]
Bsus2
Your hair is matted,
C B7
Your face and hands are dirty,
Bsus2
And the years that you've toiled
C B7
Must number somewhere near thirty.
[Chorus]
C G
The deepening of a sadness
B7 Em
Broke finally into madness.
Em B7
You are truly one of the last,
Em Em
Lonely and wretched.
[Verse 3]
Bsus2
Your eyes are wild and frightening
C B7
At the same time they are blessed
Bsus2
And I wonder if God died,
C B7
Turned his back or only just rested.
[Chorus]
C G
And you walked out on the seventh day
B7 Em
Through the big gates and on your way
Em B7
To become one of the last,
Em Em
Lonely and wretched.
[Refrain]
G C
For once you were a child.
G
Your cheeks were red,
D
You were well fed.
Em
You laughed and played
D
Till you got teary,
C
Ran to your mother
B7 B7
When you were weary.
[Verse 4]
Bsus2
But somewhere you were forsaken
C B7
Alone I'll not bear the blame
Bsus2
And somehow all was taken,
C B7
Your mind, your body, your name.
[Chorus]
C G
Forgive us our unkindness,
B7 Em
Our desertion and our blindness,
Em B7
With you, all the last,
Em Em
Lonely and wretched.
[Outro]
Em B7
Forgive us, all the last,
Em
Lonely and wretched.
