Tuning: D Tuning (D G C F A D) Key: F Difficulty: Novice Tuned a whole step down (DGCFAD). Verse 1: N.C. By the time you were born there were four other siblings N.C. With your momma awaiting your daddy in jail N.C. And your oldest brother was away at a home N.C. And you didn't meet him til you were nineteen years old
Verse 2:
G
Old enough to know better
C G
old enough to know better
G D
But you took to his jawline and long sandy hair
G
And he made you feel
C G
like none of the others
G D G
And the way he looked at you touched you deep down in there
Verse 3:
G
So you jumped on his bike
C G
and rolled into the sunset
G D
But the sequel it started with the next morning sun
G
And the dew on the bike seat
C G
and you all aglow
G D G
From the love he put in you and a life on the run
G
So you moved to a small town
C G
then to another
G D
Then to another with another on its way
G
And you both swore to God
C G
you would keep it together
G D G
And the state wouldn't take your babies away
Verse 4:
C
Now, the District Attorney
G
said he might have forgiven
G D
You had lots of reasons to turn out this way
G
But you'll both go to jail
C G
for them four little babies
G D G
You made and delivered along the way
Solo:
G C G G D G G C G G D G
Verse 5:
G
Last night you had a dream
C G
of a Lord so forgiving
G D
He might show compassion for a heathen He damned
G
You awoke in a jail cell
C G
alone and so lonely
G D G
