Ne'Er Do Wells
F#
When I was nine years old
(E7)
My daddy made me see
Bm E
The story of the railroad
F# (E7)
And how it came to be
F#
He said the men who laid it down
(E7)
Had left their own hometowns
B E
And broke their backs to give us traction
F#m F#
And that's what he did for me
(CHORUS)
F# (E7)
Ne'er do wells and woebegones
D E F#
Show your face, for we were wrong
F#
Ne'er do wells and woebegone
D Em F#m F# (E7)
Feel no shame, it won't be long
F#
Do you ever stop to think
F#m
Who built those walls around you?
Bm
Do you ever wonder
F# (E7)
Who those people were at all?
F#
Because the hands that give you shelter
(E7)
Are the very ones that you refuse
Bm E
And proof of what they're worth
F#
Will live long after you and I are gone
(CHORUS)
F# (E7)
Ne'er do wells and woebegone
D E F#
Show your face, for we were wrong
F# (E7)
Ne'er do wells and woebegones
D E F#
Feel no shame, it won't be long
F# (E7)
Bm E F#
F#
Come on
F#
I beg you listen with an open heart
(E7)
Your soul is so cruelly judged
Bm B
Forgive us for our trespasses
F#m
Were taught to us because
F#
We were raised by people
Raised by people
Just like you and so
B E
When the world falls down around us
F#m F#
It'll lead to you our goal
D E
It'll be to you we all come running
(CHORUS)
F# (E7)
Ne'er do wells and woebegones
D E F#
Show your face, for we were wrong
F# (E7)
Ne'er do wells and woebegones
D E F#
Feel no shame, it won't be long
F# (E7)
