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