Broken Promise Land chords by Waylon Jennings

Chords with lyrics

INTRO: G+G C majorC G+G C majorC


VERSE:
      G+G       D MajorD
There's a bible on the dresser,
    C majorC
and a sign hung on the door,
    D MajorD      C majorC         G+G
and a woman in my arms that shouldn't be.
       G+G       D MajorD
I'm to the point of no returning,
   C majorC
but I've been here before.
     D MajorD        C majorC      G+G
This cheating life is nothing new to me.
      G+G       D MajorD
There's someone to be considered,
  C majorC
I call her on the phone,
       D MajorD       C majorC       G+G
and say the job is taking longer than I planned
     G+G        D MajorD
I dont have the heart to tell her,
      C majorC
that a stranger turned me on,
      D MajorD       C majorC       G+G
and I'm heading for the broken promise land

Refr?o
  G+G         C majorC
Tonight I'm crossing over
      D MajorD         E minorEm
and I'll reach the cheating side
     G+G        D MajorD      A minorAm
and I'll hate myself for coming here again.
G+G                  C majorC
Where the streets are paved with misery
   D MajorD         E minorEm
and lives are built on lies,
   G+G          D MajorD      C majorC
the place they call the broken promise land


VERSE:
      G+G         D MajorD
Found the note left on the dresser,
     C majorC
and the key left in the door,
       D MajorD         C majorC       G+G
and on the floor I found her golden wedding band.
      G+G       D MajorD
Guess she finally had to tell me,
      C majorC
she's not waiting here no more,
     D MajorD        C majorC       G+G
and she heading for the broken promise land.

Chorus:
G+G            C majorC
Tonight she's crossing over
       D MajorD         E minorEm
and she'll reach the cheating side
G+G             D MajorD       A minorAm
and I'll hate myself for giving her the chance.
       G+G           C majorC
'Cause the streets are paved with misery
   D MajorD         E minorEm
and lives are built on lies.
   G+G          D MajorD       C majorC
The place they call the broken promise land.
G+G              C majorC
...and its more than I can stand.
