Dm Am C G
Am Am
VERSE:
Am
Mama's crying in the back room she won't let nobody in
G Am
There's bill's to pay and mouths to feed and daddys drunk again
Am
Rain comes through the trailer roof and fills the buckets to the brim
G Am
Between the death and cigarettes a childhood gives in
Am Dm
And out of trailer parks and foreclosed homes
G C
I cut my teeth so bittersweet out on the road
C Dm
But now I'm getting old and it's so hard to settle down
G E Am
Leave another low down city to another goddamn town
INMSTRUMENTAL:
Am G F G
Am G F G Am Am
VERSE:
Am
Lay down upon the barren earth and rest your weary eyes
G Am
Dive deep into your memory and lock yourself inside
Am
Remember how the roses grew when watered with sweet tea
G
Those southern nights those golden days you layed
Am
Yourself besides me
VERSE:
Am C Am D
I'm bound for better days and hope these wounds will heal
G C
But scars last till the bitter end when flesh breaks under steal
Dm
At night I like awake and I wish I would've stayed
G
Out on the banks and lowman road
E Am
Till the end of my days
CHORUS:
Dm Am C
You'll find a new way and a life in truth
G Dm
And you finally will see dear God let me be
Am C
You go your way and I'll go mine
G
I won't cross the Great Divide
Dm Am C
Although sometimes in the morning when it hurts the most
C
I hear you calling me
G
Dear God let me be
Dm Am C
You'll find a new way and a life in truth
G E Am
And you finally will see dear God let me be
INMSTRUMENTAL:
Am G F G
Am G F G Am Am
VERSE:
Am
So if you see my darlin' won't you send my love
G Am
Six months to the day and she is all I'm thinking of
Am
See to it she's got a coat against the winters cold
G Am
A fireplace to keep her warm and rest her weary souls
VERSE:
C Dm
Are bound by blood and fire until the very end
G C
A heart that's bound by wild desire will not give in
Dm
So lay yourself down easy in the bitter root and pine
G Em
Let the trials of this world make you stronger
E Am
Or pass you bye
CHORUS:
Am Dm Am C
You'll find a new way and a life in truth
G Dm
And you finally will see dear God let me be
Am C
You go your way and I'll go mine
G
I won't cross the Great Divide
Dm Am C
Although sometimes in the morning when it hurts the most
C
I hear you calling me
G
Dear God let me be
Dm Am C
You'll find a new way and a life in truth
G Dm
And you finally will see dear God let me be
