On My Feet Again - David Allan Coe

Key: E Tuning: E A D G B E Verse 1: D G I spent a lifetime in prison believing I'd never get over the fall A D Busted for first degree, I was too blind to see who was to blame for it all D G Some said the devil but God only knows if I put my future in him A D Other folks bet that I'd never get on my feet again Chorus: G Running and jumping free as a bird D Just like a child left to play G Freedom was one more thing I took for granted D A Until they took it away

Verse 2: D G Marriages break up and some people take up drinking to make them forget A D Both of them swearing, neither one caring wishing that they never met D G Taking the child away, who cares what children say until they turn into men A D Someday you'll see I'm gonna be on my feet again Chorus: G Running and jumping free as a bird D Just like a child left to play G Freedom was one more thing I took for granted D A Until they took it away Verse 3: D And I left my stomach in Houston on some surgeon's knife but I sleep though G it all A In the recovery room, fate dealt the cards too soon taking my legs in the D fall D Wheelchairs turned into canes till I learned to walk places that I've never G been A D Now that I'm free, it's good to be on my feet again Chorus: G Running and jumping free as a bird D Just like a child left to play G Freedom was one more thing I took for granted D A Until they took it away A D Other folks bet that I'd never get on my feet again
