[Intro]
Em Em C C G G D D - Cdim Cdim x2

[Verse]
Em Em C C
I’ve never been so hungry,
G G D D Cdim Cdim
Seems like twenty-two years I’ve been looking for a fight
Em Em C C
Never stayed in school for long, couldn’t keep my patience on
G G D D Cdim Cdim
Never had the motivation quite to get my timing right


[PRE–CHORUS] 1 + 2:
C C G G
(I want my story to begin)/(I want to celebrate my sins)
D D Em Em D D
There’s a time to save up and a time to
C C G G
Spend I’m to young for the past tense
D D Cdim Cdim Cdim Cdim Cdim Cdim D#dim D#dim F#dim F#dim
All this worrying about what might have been



[Chorus]
Em Em C C
Should have been a preacher man, let the good book show me where to
G G D D Cdim Cdim
Stand in this earthly half-way home
Em Em C C
Should have been a farmin’ man, teach my boy to plow the land
G G D D Cdim Cdim (Em Em C C G G D D Cdim Cdim)
Leave this wicked winter just a couple acres greener when I go

Em Em C C
I’ve never been so thirsty to get my soul right
G G D D Cdim Cdim
But like a summer bug I’ve been burned by the blinding light
Em Em C C
Never stayed in church for long, pop’lar peoples ‘n white folks songs
G G D D Cdim Cdim
Sunday morning never was as real as Friday Night


[PRE–CHORUS] 2 + CHORUS


[BREAK] OVER VERSE CHORDS


[PRE–CHORUS 3] (one strum each):
C C G G
Some day they’ll write my name up on a
D D Em Em D D
Stone and I won’t be there to see it
C C G G D D Cdim Cdim Cdim Cdim Cdim Cdim D#dim D#dim F#dim F#dim
Up on Calv’ry calling me I know they’ll say . . .

CHORUS x 2, second time a-capella
