My Guitar Three Chords And The Truth

My Guitar Three Chords And The Truth

A Poem by byronabelband

(E)OLE WAYLON AND OLE HAND THEY FED MY SOUL
(A)PLUMBING AND HARD LIFE, MADE ME (E)BOLD
(A)JOHNNY CASH AND JESUS, EASE MY (E)PAIN
MY (B)GUITAR, THREE CHORDS AND THE TRUTH KEEP ME (E)SANE

I WORKED WITH SOME TUFF OLE TURKEYS IN MY LIFE
IT TOOK 45 YEARS OF LIVING, TO FIND MY WIFE
CRAP THE GOVERNMENT TOLD ME, IS ALL IN VAIN
MY GUITAR, THREE CHORDS AND THE TRUTH, KEEP ME SANE

CHORUS:
(A)TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE, THATS WHAT WAS TOLD TO (E)ME
(A)SOME WILL BARK, SOME WILL BITE, (B)THEY ALL WANT TO BLAME
(E)FORGIVE TO BE FORGIVEN THATS PLAIN TO ME, BUT MY
(B)GUITAR, THREE CHORDS AND THE TRUTH, KEEP ME SANE

(E)REPUBLICAN, DEMOCRAT, LEFT OR RIGHT
WOMEN, MAN, IN-BETWEEN, BLACK OR WHITE
YOU DONT HAVE TO LOOK FAR TO HEAR BLAME
MY GUITAR, THREE CHORDS AND THE TRUTH, KEEP ME SANE

STATE RUN SCHOOLS, KEEP US IN A BOX
BE WISE AS A SERPANT, SLY AS A FOX
MANS WISDOM CAUSE MY BRAIN TO PAIN
MY GUITAR, THREE CHORDS AND THE TRUTH, KEEP ME SANE
