(ver. 1)
Leon Russell
[INTRO]
Em Bm7 Em Bm7 Em Bm7 Em Bm7 2x
 
[VERSE 1]
    Em       Bm7    Em      Am7      Bm7   C
I'm standing by the highway suitcase by my side
B7                           A7sus4             A7
No place I want to go I just thought I'd catch a ride
 
Em Bm7 Em Bm7 Em Bm7 Em Bm7
 
    Em                      Am7
Many people look my way and many pass me by
B7                        A7sus4   A7
In moments of reflection I wonder why
 
Em Bm7 Em Bm7 Em Bm7 Em Bm7
 
    Em       Bm7    Em                Am7
To the thieves I am a bandit, whoa the mothers think I'm a son
B7                                     A7sus4   A7
To the preachers I'm a sinner Lord I'm not the only one
 
Em Bm7 Em Bm7 Em Bm7 Em Bm7
 
    Em                      Am7
To the sad ones I'm unhappy to the losers I'm a fool
B7                                     A7sus4   A7
To the students I'm a teacher with the teachers I'm unschooled
 
Em Bm7 Em Bm7 Em Bm7 Em Bm7
 
    Em      Bm7   Em           Am7
To the hobos I'm imprisoned by everything I own
B7                                         A7sus4   A7
To the soldier I'm just someone else who's dying to go home
 
Em Bm7 Em Bm7 Em Bm7 Em Bm7
 
    Em      Bm7   Em         Am7
The general sees a number a politician's tool
      B7                           Em
To my friends I'm just an equal in this whirlpool
 
[CHORUS]
B7      Em                 Am                C         B7     Em7
Magic mirror won't you tell me please do I find myself in anyone I see?
Magic mirror if we only could try to see ourselves as others would
 
Em Bm7 Em Bm7 Em Bm7 Em Bm7
 
[VERSE 2]
    Em      Bm7   Em                     Am7
To policemen I'm suspicious it's in the way I look
B7                             A7sus4   A7
I'm just another character to fingerprint and book
 
Em Bm7 Em Bm7 Em Bm7 Em Bm7
 
    Em                            Am7
To the censor I'm pornography with no redeeming grace
B7                             A7sus4   A7
To the hooker I'm a customer without a face
 
Em Bm7 Em Bm7 Em Bm7 Em Bm7
 
    Em                                        Am7
And the sellers think I'm merchandise they'll have me for a song
B7                             Am7
The left ones think I'm right the right ones think I'm wrong
 
Em Bm7 Em Bm7 Em Bm7 Em Bm7
 
    Em      Bm7   Em                    Am7
And many people look my way and many pass me by
B7                           Em
And in my quiet reflection I wonder why
 
[REPEAT CHORUS]
[REPEAT INTRO and FADE]
