live in 1966. The guitar tuning is in open D (DADF#AD) and the

Intro:

000000 020100 040300 555555 044300 022100 000000 022100 

000000 020100 000000 020100 000000


    000000             555555
He’s so independent, He acts like he
                                                       
044300   022100  000000            020100 000000 020100 000000
couldn’t  care - less for us all . . . . . .

    000000                       555555
He’s someone’s descendant, Their child, but he’ll 

044300 022100   000000            020100 000000 020100 000000
nev - er   acknowledge their call . . . . . 

     555555                   
He’s afraid to be loved,

      044300     022100      040300 020100
And I know he’s afraid not to be . . . . 

          000000          020100
And he’ll laugh and he’ll cry

    x02102       x02120       000000 020100 000000 020100 000000
And one day he’ll die, just like me . . .


*Chorus

0xxxxx 2xxxxx 4xxxxx 555555
(bass walk-up)

555555    044300 022100 
Just like me . . . . . 

      000000      020100      000000              020100
He’s   settling a score with a world that wants a reason

      x02100               x02120 x02100 x02120 x02100 000000                 
Every time you turn around . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

555555   044300 022100
Just like me . . . . .

     000000       020100         000000         020100
He’s looking for a door, standing open, saying “Welcome,

         x02100          x02120   x02100
Come and lay your troubles down” . . . 

           (repeat chords from intro.)
Just like me . . . . . 


He’ll drop his defenses
You’ll see through the stone to the heart of the man
But the moment he senses
You’ve seen him, he’ll leave you as fast as he can
He’ll return to his shadows where no one can look in and see
And he’ll wake in the night and he’ll cry like a child
Just like me

(chorus)

I’ve seen him look hungry 
For someone to tell him “you’re doin’ just fine”
And the songs that he sung
They have loneliness woven between every line
With no strings to hold him, I guess he could call himself free
Yes, he’s free to be lonely and empty and wrong
Just like me

(chorus)

                      Just like me . . . . . . . .
