Ne'Er Do Wells
F
When I was nine years old
(E7)
My daddy made me see
A#m D#
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
A# D#
And broke their backs to give us traction
Fm F
And that's what he did for me
(CHORUS)
F (E7)
Ne'er do wells and woebegones
C# D# F
Show your face, for we were wrong
F
Ne'er do wells and woebegone
C# D#m Fm F (E7)
Feel no shame, it won't be long
F
Do you ever stop to think
Fm
Who built those walls around you?
A#m
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
A#m D#
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
C# D# F
Show your face, for we were wrong
F (E7)
Ne'er do wells and woebegones
C# D# F
Feel no shame, it won't be long
F (E7)
A#m D# F
F
Come on
F
I beg you listen with an open heart
(E7)
Your soul is so cruelly judged
A#m A#
Forgive us for our trespasses
Fm
Were taught to us because
F
We were raised by people
Raised by people
Just like you and so
A# D#
When the world falls down around us
Fm F
It'll lead to you our goal
C# D#
It'll be to you we all come running
(CHORUS)
F (E7)
Ne'er do wells and woebegones
C# D# F
Show your face, for we were wrong
F (E7)
Ne'er do wells and woebegones
C# D# F
Feel no shame, it won't be long
F (E7)
