Key: D


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
