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