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