D G D D7 Fat man lookin' in a blade of steel, thin man lookin' at his last meal G D G D Hollow man lookin' in a cotton field for dignity D G D D7 Wise man lookin' in a blade of grass, young man lookin' in the shadows that pass G D G D Poor man lookin' through painted glass for dignityD G D D7 Searchin' high, searchin' low, searchin' everywhere I know G D G D Askin' the cops wherever I go, "Have you seen Dignity?" D G D D7 Blind man breakin' out of a trance, puts both his hands in the pocket of chance D G D Hopin' to find one circumstance of dignity D G D D7 I went to the wedding of Mary-Lou, she said I don't want nobody see me talkin to you G D G D Said she could get killed if she told me what she knew about dignityA Somebody got murdered on New Year's Eve G D Somebody said dignity was the first to leave G F#m I went into the city, went into the town Em A A(2) Went into the land of the midnight sunD G D D7 Chilly wind sharp as a razor blade, house on fire, debts unpaid G D G D Gonna stand at the window, gonna ask the maid, "Have you seen dignity?" D G D D7 Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears in a crowded room full of covered up mirrors G D G D Lookin' into the lost forgotten years for dignity D G D D7 Met Prince Philip at the home of the blues said he'd give me information if his name wasn't used G D G D He wanted money up front, said he was abused by dignityA I went down where the vultures feed G D I would've gone deeper, but there wasn't any need G F#m Heard the tongues of angels and the tongues of men, Em A A(2) Wasn't any difference to meD G D D7 Got no place to fade, got no coat, I'm on the rollin' river in a jerkin' boat G D G D Tryin' to read a note somebody wrote about dignity D G D D7 Sick man lookin' for the doctor's cure, lookin' at his hands for the lines that were G D G D And into every masterpiece of literature for dignity D G D D7 Englishman stranded in the blackheart wind combin' his hair back his future looks thin G D G D Bites the bullet and he looks within for dignityA Footprints runnin' cross the silver sand, G D Steps goin' down into tattoo land G F#m I met the sons of darkness and the sons of light, Em A A(2) In the bordertowns of despairD G D D7 So many roads, so much at stake, so many dead ends, I'm at the edge of the lake G D G D Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take to find dignityA Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed, G D Dignity never been photographed G F#m I went into the red, went into the black, Em A A(2) Into the valley of dry bone dreams
