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