🎸 Verse 1:
A                 D                  A
I have gee'd and haw'd myself into a tizzy
     D               A              B7           E
I am yearning for a turning in the most peculiar way
A                      D              A
Blame it on my genes, caked in tenant farming
    D              A             E
I can't stand idle hands, as the hours waste away




🎸 Chorus:
A

Let your love light shine
D                               A
Don't you hide it beneath those bushels, baby.
D                 A      B7                           E
Take that whip to task, work me all night beneath the flame.
A                        D                   A
I am yours to use, and I sure wish you would use me
       D                 A            E             A
Do not let my heart just fall apart, rustin' in the rain.

🎸 Verse 2:
A                            D                 A
I'm a hillside plow, turning one way then the other.
        D              A        B7                    E
I don't run around in circles. I work right on up the side.
A                     D                A
Starting at the foot, going past the shoulder
D        A           E             A
'til I slit the rows in the whole hillside.

🎸 Chorus 2:

A
Let your love light shine
D                               A
Don't you hide it beneath those bushels, baby.
D                 A      B7                           E
Take that whip to task, work me all night beneath the flame.
A                        D                   A
I am yours to use, and I sure wish you would use me
       D                 A            E             A
Do not let my heart just fall apart, rustin' in the rain.

Key Change to B

🎸 Verse 3:
B                          E               B
I have gee'd and haw'd for you and it sure suits me.
     E            B                 C#               F#
I am pawing with impatience at the thought of trace chains.
B                         E                  B
I've grit my bit. Running half rows just for thinking
         E       B     F#                          B
Getting hunkered down trying to get up through the shame.

🎸 Chorus 3:
B
Let your love light shine
E                               B
Don't you hide it beneath those bushels, baby.
E                 B      C#                           F#
Take that whip to task, work me all night beneath the flame.
B                        E                   B
I am yours to use, and I sure wish you would use me
       E                  B           F#             B
Do not let my heart just fall apart, rustin' in the rain.
