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