[Verse 1]
F
 A man walks down the street
        Gm              C
He says,  "Why am I soft in the middle,
now?
F
 Why am I soft in the middle and
Gm           C
  Rest of my life is so hard
F
 I need a photo opportunity
Gm              C
  I want a shot at redemption
F
Don't want to end up a cartoon
    Gm        C
In a  cartoon graveyard
F
Bonedigger, Bonedigger
Gm            C
  Dogs in the moonlight
F               Gm           C
 Far away in my well lit door
        F
Mister. Beerbelly, Beerbelly
Gm                   C
Get these mutts away from me
You know,
F                           Gm          C
 I don't find this stuff amusing anymore

[Chorus]
F/C             C        Bb
If you'll be my bodyguard
              C    F/C     C Bb

[Verse 2]
F
 A man walks down the street
        Gm               C
He says,  "Why am I short of attention?
     F
Got a short little span of attention
    Gm         C
And,  whoa, my nights are so long
F
 Where's my wife and family?
Gm             C
  What if I die here?
F
 Who'll be my role model
Gm            C             F
  Now that my role model is gone, gone?"
   Gm                     C
He ducked back down the alley
         F                   Gm        C
With some rolypoly little batfaced girl
     F
All along, along
           Gm              C
There were incidents and accidents
          F                     Gm C
There were hints and allegations

[Chorus]
F/C             C        Bb
If you'll be my bodyguard
              C    F/C     C Bb

        F/C F
Call me Al

[Verse 3]
F
 A man walks down the street
Gm                        C
It's a street in a strange world
F
 Maybe it's the third world
Gm               C
  Maybe it's his first time around
F
 Doesn't speak the language
  Gm         C
He  holds no currency
F
 He is a foreign man
Gm             C          F
  He is surrounded by the sound, sound
Gm              C
  Cattle in the marketplace
F
 Scatterings and orphanages
Gm C          F
    He looks around, around
        Gm            C
He sees angels in the architecture
F
 Spinning in infinity
         Gm      C
He says, Amen and Hallelujah!
