If He Came Back Again(Chords)

Verse  

D  
You'd have thought a king had died,  

The way those people cried  
  G                             D  
Instead of one more broken entertainer  
D  
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              G  
Oh, the humble and the high  
      D              Bm            F#m   G  
They said goodbye as if he were a friend  

      A  
Now somewhere he is smiling  
     D           G  
On those who idolized him  
      D               Bm       A  
But would they even recognize him  
                  D  
If he came back again?  

D  
He was born of modest means  

But had outrageous dreams  
 G  
They never let him rest  
            D  
Till he fulfilled them  
While he rode that train of song  
His devils tagged along  
      G  
The whiskey and the pills  
               D  
Just couldn't kill him  
           A  
He didn't mean to be a rebel  
          D             G  
Ah, the real ones never do  
         D               Bm      F#m  G  
They're born apart from ordinary men  

      A  
And somewhere he is smiling  
     D            G  
On those who sanctified him  
      A                Bm      A  
But would they even recognize him  
                  D  
If he came back again?  

         A  
It's an old familiar story  
             D                  G  
But it's a damn shame none the less  
      Bm  
They don't forgive his kind  
           G                A  
Till they lay them down to rest  

A  
And somewhere he is smiling  
     D           G  
On those who idolized him  
      A               Bm       A  
But would they even recognize him  
                  D  
If he came back again?  

D  
Oh, if he came back again
