The Thing I Done

C.W. Stoneking


Tom: G#m

G#m

[Verse 1]
           G#m
I roll like thunder
        G#m
Go like dynamite
    C#m
All flesh and bone, I come
                     C#m
Old death long by my side
            G#m
In from the storm
              G#m             C#m
This scornful breath about my tongue

[Chorus]
D#        G#m          D#   G#m
   Oh, the thing I done

[Verse 2]
          G#m
I took my chances
          G#m
Took what chance I got
     C#m
Lord know, my hands is tied
      C#m
This all-binding ancient blood
      G#m
There flood my mind images
         C#m
Blinding as the sun

[Chorus]
D#        G#m          D#   G#m
   Oh, the thing I done

[Verse 3]
       G#m
Can't tell my future
        G#m
I can't tell my past
        C#m
It's only eluding fate
          C#m
That makes my journey's task
    G#m
That weigh down upon me
    C#m
Out on the run

[Chorus]
D#        G#m          D#   G#m
   Oh, the thing I done

[Verse 4]
    F#m
The band are playing
    B
Bathed in electrical light
            D#
But I'm all at sea away
          G#m                F#
Under the shade of that dark fright
         B             E
Know and I never had a chance
  F#   F#m   G#m F#   B     G#m
I come bound to all I done

[Verse 5]
    G#m
You hear me singing
       G#m
Know my time ain't long
  C#m
Desirous, this song I bring
    C#m
On these unresting bones
               G#m
Long ways from home, I stumbled
              C#m
Long, since time begun
D#        G#m          D#   G#m
   Oh, the thing I done

[Chorus]
D#        G#m          D#   G#m
   Oh, the thing I done
D#        G#m          D#   G#m
   Oh, the thing I done
D#        G#m          D#   G#m
   Oh, the thing I done
