Quiet Man

A D Strolling down the highway with my shoes in my hand, E A I don't talk much; I'm a quiet man. A D Beauty and silence both run deep, E A And running like crazy while you are asleep. G You got news for me; A I got nothing for you. G Don't pin your blues on me - A D E E7 Just go ahead and do whatever you wish to.
Last Monday night I saw a fight Between Wednesday and Thursday over Saturday night. Tuesday asked me what was going on; I said, "Sunday's in the meadow and Friday's in the corn." You got news for me; I got nothing for you. Don't pin your blues on me - Just go ahead and do whatever you wish to. Hocus-pocus, maladjusted, Don't you think my tears get rusted? Steady losing means you ain't using What you really think is right. You got news for me; I got nothing for you. Don't pin your blues on me - Just go ahead and do whatever you wish to. Oodles of light, what a beautiful sight; Both of God's eyes are shining tonight. Rays and beams of incredible dreams, And I am a quiet man. Oodles of light, what a beautiful sight; Both of God's eyes are shining tonight. Rays and beams of incredible dreams, And I am a quiet man.

(Words and music by John Prine, 1970)
