One Paper Kid chords by Guy Clark
Guitar chords with lyrics
- Difficulty: Beginner 👶
Key: D
🎸 Verse 1:
D A Bm
Cowboys and Indians and trees he could climb
G D A A7
Tomorrow came too fast but he didn't mind
D A Bm
Ah, the distance was short so light it again
G D A D
It don't take no time to get where I am
🎸 Chorus:
Bm G A D
But the one paper kid wasn't really so mean
A D
He's just a little bit scared and a little bit green
D Bm A D
And he'd heard of a place that was legal to dream
D A Bm
So he sat with his coffee and a blue Texas wind
G Bm A G D
And wrote on the rock "the one paper kid, he's rollin' again"
🎸 Verse 2:
D A Bm
The driver was drunk or he just didn't see
G D A A7
The future was there: it'll happen to me
D A Bm
And all the time that he wasted was his once again
G D A D
It never takes too long to go where you've been
🎸 Bridge:
Bm G A D
There's broken hearts scattered all over the past
G Bm
And old bad memories tryin' to last
Bm G A D
Whiskey and women and growing up fast
G A
Fussin' and lovin' and itchin' like grass
🎸 Chorus:
D A D
Hell, the one paper kid wasn't really so mean
G D
Just a little bit weird 'cause the times were so lean
D Bm A D
Now he's gone to a place where it's legal to dream
Bm G A
No camels, no coffee, no cold morning wind
D Bm A G D
And it's writ on the rock "the one paper kid, he's rollin' again
Bm A D G
The one paper kid, he's rollin' again Published:
