First One! Woohoo!
[verse 1]
A#m
I learned a fella, he ought to keep,
G# A#m
some thoughts to himself
A#m
Every man, he has a hunger
G# A#m
That he must keep on the shelf
A#m
I don’t care what no one says
G# A#m
Because the truth is people change
A#m
I stayed on that straight and narrow
G# A#m
But my baby took a different train
A#m
I left my past there hidden deep
G# A#m
On the Texas Oklahoma line
A#m
But I feel them spirits with me
F
No they’re never too far behind
A#m
I miss the nights on the river gambling
G# A#m
Out on a boat in Louisian’
A#m
And I recall a loss near full moons bay
G# A#m
On just one single hand
[Chorus]
F# C#
Cause it ain’t hard to keep a job
G# C# G#
But a living is hard to make
F# C#
A# grown man cries to feel alive
F
and in his shame he starts to pray
F# G#
He says father not mine
C# G# F#
but thy will be done
F# F
I’ll be where you want me
A#m
before the rising sun
[verse 2]
A#m
I met a salesman with a bible
G# A#m
In a pinstripe three-piece suit
A#m
In one breath he took my money,
G# A#m
With the next he spoke the truth
A#m
Well the bank has opened up
G# A#m
Overnight they seized the town
A#m
All the widows keep on sinking
G# A#m
Like a hound dog bound to drown
A#m
I feel the madness creeping in
G# A#m
Sanity slips my grip
A#m
I hear a string band playing Dixie
F
The war is lost but they don’t quit
A#m
Oh my baby left me broken-hearted
G# A#m
No man has ever felt so alone,
A#m
So now I head down to the corner
G# A#m
The only place I feel at home
[Chorus]
F# C#
Cause it ain’t hard to keep a job
G# C# G#
But a living is hard to make
F# C#
A# grown man cries to feel alive
F
and in his shame he starts to pray
F# G#
He says father not mine
C# G# F#
but thy will be done
F# F
I’ll be where you want me
A#m
before the rising sun
[verse 3]
A#m
She comes from the reservation
G# A#m
And every night the drunk men ask
A#m
Where’s my Umatilla princess
G# A#m
I’m only here to see her dance
A#m
With a feather in her hair
G# A#m
She lays her body bare
A#m
she takes them for their money
G# A#m
And she leaves them with a stare
A#m
See the men thinks she likes dancing
G# A#m
Each believes he owns her soul
A#m
They don’t realize that beneath her smile
F
Is a pain they’ll never know
A#m
No it’s a truth they’ve never heard
G# A#m
It’s a truth they won’t accept
A#m
That a person doesn’t stand a chance
G# A#m
When they’ve never been shown respect
[Chorus]
F# C#
Cause it ain’t hard to keep a job
G# C# G#
But a living is hard to make
F# C#
A# grown girl cries to feel alive
F
and in her shame she starts to pray
F# G#
She says father not mine
C# G# F#
but thy will be done
F# F
I’ll be where you want me
A#m
