Maybe You Heard Lyrics

K. Kristofferson
CAPO I
INTRO: C
Maybe you heard, your old buddy's gone crazy
Searchin' for words to deep sweet reason and rhyme
Livin' alone more and more, and he's prone to be lazy
Turnin' to stone, blasted and blind
CHORUS 1:
Don't turn away there, hey goddamn ya, he was your brother
Turn on your father, sister, mother, brother he was your friend
Don't you condemn him, oh leave it to strangers
You oughta know him, give him a hand, if you can
But at least for Jesus Christ's sake understand
BREAK: C F C G C
Maybe you heard that they say that the lady's been changin'
Day after day, more than her mind
Learnin' to play with the part has her turnin' to strangers
Goin' too far line after line
CHORUS 2:
Don't turn away there, hey goddamn ya, you used to love her
Turn on your father, sister, mother, mister she was your friend
Don't you condemn her, leave it to strangers
You oughta know her, give her a hand, if you can
But at least for Jesus Christ's sake understand
OUTRO: C G C
