J. J. Cale - Homeless

^CShe said she had no money But he was in doubt ^{G Am}He told her, "I used to be in too" But now^Em he was out ^F"Spare some small change lady ^GAnd I'll be on my way" ^Am

^CShe looked into his eyes And deep in his soul ^{G Am}I know she was wondering If h^Eme was in control She mutt^Fered to herself, "Those beggars, ^G Where do they all come from'" ^Am

^AmHe said, &qu^Cot;I'm not a homeless man ^G I'm a gyp^Fsy by trade ^Em And I'm travell^Aming this land I'm not^G a homeless man" ^Am

^CHe moved through the streets With his headband low ^G Never thinki^Amng he would never see That woman^Em again, you know ^FJust sleeping in the doorways And alley^Gs like he always had ^{Am C}The years rolled by And later on ^G He spott^Amed an old woman All tattered and worn ^Em

Har^Fd times had got her He^Gr clothes were ragged and old ^Am She said, "I'^Cm not a homeless woman ^G I'm a gyps^Fy by trade And I^Em'm travelling this l^Amand I'm not a^G homeless woman" ^Am

^CSometime in the daytime Sometimes at night ^G You will see a c^Amouple walking They'll come into sight ^{Em F}Pushing their carts ^G And holding hands ^Am

^CIf you ask to help They'll just run away^{G Am}Like little children, out to^Em play ^FAnd if you ask, "Who are you" ^G They'll always say ^Am

^C"I'm not a homeless man ^G I'm a gyps^Fy by trade ^Em And I'm travell^Aming this land

She's not^G a homeless woman I'm not a homel^Amess man"
