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