Lyrics typed out of the tape liner by Geordan Rosario, whose
vision is now even more damaged as a result.
** 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?

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SQUEEZE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
