Am E Am

🎸 Verse 1:
Am
His hands were both tied
Am
He smiled at his daughter
E                                   Am
They all knew it would come to this day
Am
They asked for his last words
Am
He didn't even bother
      E
Just thought about what his father always said
Dm                            E
"Son in this business, you'll never find a place
      Am                     F
For favors, forgiveness or grace
F                               E
Are you bound to find hope, or just become a victim of the rope "

🎸 Verse 2:
Am
Sammy had a mind
Am
So bright and full of wonder
E                          Am
She always had a story to tell
Am
It all began to change when she found the holy spirit
E
And soon become the story herself
Dm
Hеr mother cried in the kitchеn
            E
As they carried her out the door
     Am                   F
A legacy baptised in a liquor store
F                            E
If we only lose hope, we're bound to be the victim of a rope

🎸 Verse 3:
Dm                                E
The sycamore keeps growing as we water it with blood
     Am                             F
And holds all othe secrets that we bury in the mud
       Dm                         E
We can burn it to the ground or climb up the branches
     Am                  F
To decorate a house on fire
F                                    E
But no matter what we choose, in the end
N.C
