dunno why this is not already in here , but it doesn’t seem to be and it’s a fine song .

chords used are very basic , if you want to make it more fun alternate between the normal

for reference . i won’t write out the detail work , if you know how it’s done
you’ll figure it out yourselves .

i’ve been a desperate man
A
i’ve been sheltered by a lonely dream

looking back above the bathroom sink
B
every night i throw you out
A
leave you stranded on the boulevard
B
you know that i use you up
A
i used you like i used ’em all

( intro )

( verse chords )
if i could have a simple love
how would it feel and what would it mean?
i’d only trade you away
for mary magdalene
oh , it wouldn’t make me a saint
and it wouldn’t make me the king
and i wouldn’t have to wait
wait around for the real thing

( chorus )

( one of the best slide guitar solos i’ve heard )
