** I’m really doubtful of the F/D chord in the refrain. If
anyone figures it out, please tell me.
=================================================================
INTRO: Bb C Bb C
G B Em
The cigarette of a single man
Bb Am/C
Burns in the ashtray by his bed
G B Em
He pulls the ring of another can
Bm Am C
and holds it up beside his head
Bb C
The book he reads is on the floor
G Cm G
he’s read it several times before
REFRAIN:
B Em Bb Am/C G
Whats you got to go home to?
B/Eb Em Bb Am/C F/D C
Whats you got to go home to?
G B Em
The cigarette of a single man
Bb Am/C
Sits on the ashtray on the bar
G B Em
He sits and sifts through several plans
Bm Am C
But knows alone he won’t go far
Bb C
He needs the love another has
G Cm
To help him if another can.
REFRAIN
BRIDGE: Bb C/Bb Bb C/Bb
Bb C/Bb Bb C/Bb
G B Em
The cigarette of a single man
Bb Am/C
Lays in the gutter by his side
G B Em
Now he’s one of those little lambs
Bm Am C
Who strayed too far from the flock to find
Bb C
He’s better off without the grief
G Cm
That people wear between their teeth
G/B C
And in his mouth as he’s asleep
G/D C/E
The cigarette of a single man
G/B C
In his mouth between his teeth
Cm/Eb G/D Cm/Eb Em hold
The cigarette of a single man
G B Em Bb Am/C
Whats you got to go home to?
G B/Eb Em Bb Am/C D/F C
Whats you got to go home to?
REPEAT TO FADE:
G B Em
Whats you got to go home to?
G Am Dm
Whats you got to go home to?
