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