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