MIm MIm/FA# SOL RE
Well, the rain was a-falling and the ground turned to mud
MIm RE LA
I was watching all the people running from the flood
MIm MIm/FA# SOL RE
So I started to prayin' though I ain't no prayin' man
SIm MIm SIm MIm
for the Lord to come a helpin' knowing he'd understand.
CHORUS
RE RE/DO# SIm
Deliver your children to the good good life
SOL SIm MIm
give 'em peace and shelter and a fork and knife
RE RE/DO# SIm
shine a light in the morning and a light at night
RE FA#m SIm SOL SIm MIm
and if a thing goes wrong you'd better make it right.
MIm MIm/FA# SOL RE
Well, I had me a woman, she was good and clean
MIm RE LA
she spent all day with the washing machine
MIm SOL RE
but when it came to lovin' she was never around
SIm MIm SIm MIm
she was out getting dirty --- all over town.
CHORUS
LAm LAm/SI DO SOL
Well, I was low on money and my truck broke down
LAm SOL RE
I was on my way to the lost and found
LAm LAm/SI DO SOL
so I took it to a dealer, I said make it run
MIm LAm MIm MIm7 LAm
well, I ain't got no money, but I got me a gun.
LAm LAm/SI DO SOL
I said you robbed me before so I'm robbing you back
LAm SOL RE
and if it don't put you straight it'll put you on the right track
LAm LAm/SI DO SOL
well, I ain't no devil and I ain't no saint
MIm LAm MIm MIm7 LAm
but I can tell a dealer by the color of his paint.
CHORUS
MIm MIm/FA# SOL RE
If you want good eggs you gotta feed that hen
SIm MIm
and if you wanna hear some more
SIm MIm
well, I'll sing it again.
