Tom: C
D F C
Did you ever have one of those days when it just rains and it rains
G C D
Your mind and your whole back aches but you get up anyways
D
You gave up your dreams, you got a boss to please
C
It makes you wonder if it's worth it
G D
Loosen my chain cause even my pain is hurting
[CHORUS]
D
I said Lord won't you give an old boy a break
F
You said you wouldn't give me more than I could take
G D
But this old world, it sure rattles your faith sometimes
D
Well you try and you try and you keep on trying
F
Happy's for sale but you can't buy it
G
How bout a little something to ease a man's burden
F D
Cause even my pain is hurting
[VERSE]
D
My house ain't worth what I owe
C
I've been all my life owing that load
G
And like a sucker I bought what they sold
C D
But down here in the ground ain't gold
F D C
Yeah I've been a caged bird singing, waiting on freedom, feeling like my prayers ain't working
G D
Go on and loosen my chain cause even my pain is hurting
[CHORUS]
D
I said Lord won't you give an old boy a break
F
You said you wouldn't give me more than I could take
G D
But this old world, it sure rattles your faith sometimes
D
Well you try and you try and you keep on trying
F
Happy's for sale but you can't buy it
G
How bout a little something to ease a man's burden
F D
Cause even my pain is hurting
