Intro:

D D D G D G D Bm A

Verse 1:
       D
All my flannels made in Bangladesh
       G               D
All my t shirts in Vietnam
          G                      D
There are places that we quietly ignore
          Bm                A
There are places that we go and bomb
         D
You know I thought an awful lot about Jesus
G                   D
Even more about Lao Tsu
       G                 D
If the way of the Tao is to do nothing
              Bm                 A
Then what the hell am I supposed to do

Pre-Chorus:
       D
I feel bad about the times that I've been unkind
     G                        D
That make my nose burn and my heart beat fast
      G                    D
And I can't imagine what I said to y'all
        Bm                      A
I don't look forward to looking back

Chorus:
    D
I'm singing this song about loving
        G                          D
All the people that you've come to hate
     G                         D
It's true that they, I'm gonna die some day
Bm                             A
Why am I holding onto all this weight
         D
You know I really thought that there'd be power
            G                            D
In thinking half of y'all were just born fools
            G                        D
Thought I'd be gathering oats for my horses
      Bm          A          D
I was getting by whipping my mules

Instrumental:
D D D G D G D Bm A

Verse 2:
          D
There's a book I read I don't remember
          G                               D
There's a place I've been I've never seen
          G                           D
There's a song that I wrote that I've never sang
              Bm                    A
And there's a man that I will never be
        D
All the stars in the sky were burning
         G                      D
Most are burning unbeknownst to me
         G                  D
I wish I would've paid more attention
       Bm                     A        A
To the bigger things I didn't see

Chorus:
    D
I'm singing this song about loving
        G                          D
All the people that you've come to hate
     G                         D
It's true that they, I'm gonna die some day
Bm                             A
Why am I holding onto all this weight
         D
You know I really thought that there'd be power
            G                            D
In thinking half of y'all were just born fools
            G                        D
Thought I'd be gathering oats for my horses
      Bm          A          D
I was getting by whipping my mules

Outro:
        G                            D
Thought I'd be gathering oats for my horses
      Bm          A          D
I was getting by whipping my mules
