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