3rd traste
[Verse 1]
Am
There's evil 'round the corner
C
And joy around the bend
G
The devil's on my trail
He's been chasing me like hell
Am
And I don't think he's out to let me win
Am
So I keep my eves wide open
C
Wear my heart on my sleeve
G
Cause where I'm from an honest name
Means more to folks than diamond rings
Am
Or anything that gold and silver brings
[Chorus]
C G F
Cause the love of a woman and respect of my old man Is about the only two things that I
Am
need
C
And if folks just keep listening
G
to these songs that I've written
F Am
I reckon I can do it all for free
C
I don't need your money
G
I don't want your name
F Am
And I don't really care who you know
C
l'Il be in Oklahoma
G
Just fighting fear and loathing
F Am
Living where the lonely people go
[Verse 2]
Am
My hands are getting restless
C
My friends are getting high
G
Thev're headed to the show
With their lighters all aglow
Am
Just hoping that we make it out alive
Am
And I may never make it
C
I may die a poor man
G
But I'll be singing mv own songs
If the good lord thinks that's wrong
Am
He can kill me where I stand
[Chorus]
C G F
Cause the love of a woman and respect of my old man Is about the only two things that I
Am
need
C
And if folks just keep listening
G
to these songs that I've written
F Am
I reckon I can do it all for free
C
I don't need your money
G
I don't want your name
F Am
And I don't really care who you know
C
l'Il be in Oklahoma
G
Just fighting fear and loathing
F Am
Living where the lonely people go
