Lori McKenna - How To Be Righteous
CAPO: 4th Fret
Verse 1:
G+G G/F# E minorEm
Don't judge me, I will judge myself
C majorC D MajorD
I will lie in my bed at night wide awake or asleep
G+G G/F# E minorEm
I will feel pain when I know I have given it
C majorC D MajorD
Everything I put out to the world I know comes back to me
Chorus:
C majorC G+G
But when angels hear the Devils' call
C majorC G+G
And my vision's unclear, I got no sense at all
C majorC G+G A augmentedA
I'm just hoping I will obey my conscience
C majorC G+G G/F# E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
I want to learn how to be righteous
Verse 2:
G+G G/F# E minorEm
I saw it on a TV show, I bought the book you know
C majorC D MajorD
Paid attention when I thought the preacher was talking to me
G+G G/F# E minorEm
But it's not easy, no, to get over, let it go
C majorC D MajorD
All these feelings that are burning and building up inside of me
Chorus:
C majorC G+G
But when angels hear the Devils' call
C majorC G+G
And my vision's unclear, I got no sense at all
C majorC G+G A augmentedA
I'm just hoping I will obey my conscience
C majorC G+G G/F# E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
I want to learn how to be righteous
Verse 3:
G+G G/F# E minorEm
Well, I'll look at all I have and I will claim it
C majorC D MajorD
Won't let anybody else ever tell me who I should be
G+G G/F# E minorEm
I'll look in the mirror and gaze in my children's eyes
C majorC D MajorD
And I will not give a damn what anybody else thinks of me
Bridge:
C majorC G+G
And when questions come, I will answer right
C majorC G+G
Be true to myself, if need be, put up a fight
C majorC G+G A augmentedA
Will not heed to greed, I will obey my conscience
C majorC D MajorD G+G G/F# E minorEm C majorC G+G
I want to learn, I need to learn how to be righteous
Chorus:
C majorC G+G
So, when angels hear the Devils' call
C majorC G+G
And my vision's unclear, I got no sense at all
C majorC G+G A augmentedA
I'm just hoping I will obey my conscience
C majorC D MajorD G+G G/F# E minorEm C majorC G+G
I want to learn, I need to learn how to be righteous
