[Verse 1]
F G F G
Penniless and tired, with your hair grown long
Dm Am Em F
I was looking at you there and your face looked wrong
C Dm Em F
Memory is a fickle siren's song
G
I didn't understand
[Verse 2]
F G F G
In the gentle light as the morning nears
Dm Am Em F
You don't say a single word of your last two years
C Dm Em F
Where you were or when you reached the frontier
G
I didn't understand, no
[Interlude]
C F G F x2
[Verse 3]
F G F G
See your rugged hands and a silver knife
Dm Am Em F
Twenty dollars in your hand makes you hold so tight
C Dm Em F
All the evidence of your vacant life
G
My brother, you were gone
[Verse 4]
F G F G
And you will try to do what you did before
Dm Am Em F
Pull the wool over your eyes, for a week or more
C Dm Em F
Let your family take you back to your
G
Original mind.

Great tab. Here are the correct lyrics:
Penniless and tired, with your hair grown long
I was looking at you there and your face looked wrong
Memory is a fickle siren song
I didn't understand
In the gentle light as the morning nears
You don't say a single word of your last two years
Where you were or when you reached the frontier
I didn't understand, no
See your rugged hands and a silver knife
Twenty dollars in your hand makes you hold so tight
All the evidence of your vacant life
My brother you were born
And you will try to do what you did before
Pull the wool over your eyes
For a week or more
Let your family take you back to your original mind
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can say
I can say

Isn't the interlude after the second verse? not trying to be picky

Good Tab.
I Agree About The Lyrics Though.
Its a sad meening this song.
It's about one of the members brother who took drugs and had brain spasms. He ran away from home when he was 15 and I think the pianoist(the drug addicts bro) hasn't seen him since and has nearly forgotten about him.
