Tift Merritt - Late Night Pilgrim Chords

CAPO: 2nd Fret



INTRO:  C   Dm   G   C G C
 
                         Dm          G 
Rain like static falling in my eyes
                        C 
Rain like static on the road 
                           Dm               G 
Rain on the loners and the regular thieves
                        C 
Everybody else has gone home 
 
 
                        Dm         G 
If I could stay in your hotel bed
          C 
And sleep all day 
                    Dm            
I made my mind up a long time ago
       G                  C 
Got to keep on weaving my way 
 
 
CHORUS:
       F   G         C         F
Like a late___ night pilgrim
              G                    C        Am 
Looking for redemption in the underground 
                G                   F  D   
Lord, won't you help the late night pilgrim
         G              C 
When the morning comes around 
 
 
                        Dm              G 
You'll get dirty before you get clean
                         C 
That's how a dream could go 
                            Dm               G  
And when it don't light like gasoline, baby
               C 
You're on your own 
 
 
CHORUS:
       F   G         C         F
Like a late___ night pilgrim
              G                    C        Am 
Looking for redemption in the underground 
                G                   F  D   
Lord, won't you help the late night pilgrim
         G              C 
When the morning comes around 
 
 
INSTRUMENTAL:  Am  G  F    Am  G  F    Am  G  F   G     C 
 
 
                              Dm              
Sometimes I am the fool whose dealing cards
     G                   C  
To a ghost who's running late 
                                Dm                     
Sometimes the prophets they are just like me
         G                       C 
Can't do nothing, but sit up and wait 
 
 
CHORUS:
             F   G         C         F
With all the late___ night pilgrims
              G                    C        Am 
Looking for redemption in the underground 
                G                   F  D   
Lord, won't you help the late night pilgrim
         G              C       Am
When the morning comes around 
                G                    F  D   
Lord, won't you help this late night pilgrim
         G              C 
When the morning comes around
