Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Bb majorBb     Bb7Bb7        G minorGm
I was ever lame and once was there,
FF          Eb MajorEb
shallow diggin' deep
   FF           Bb majorBb
With hope and heart to heal
Bb majorBb     Bb7Bb7     G minorGm   FF           Eb MajorEb
Fell into a hole we had dug, covered with some leaves
FF         Bb majorBb
Covered you and me
Bb majorBb       Bb7Bb7       G minorGm
Seems so complicated now we're down,
  FF         Eb MajorEb
and wanting to be free
  FF        Bb majorBb
I'm happy just to be

Bb7Bb7

       G minorGm           F minorFm
And when you feel the running, must have
       Eb MajorEb
set its roots
       G minorGm       F minorFm
All other heaviness will one day
       Eb MajorEb  FF
call a truce
           Bb majorBb
I'm happy just to be


Bb majorBb     Bb7Bb7        G minorGm
Felt it as it angled its way through,
  FF          Eb MajorEb
 a sight I'd never seen
   FF           Bb majorBb
And saw it stickin' through
Bb majorBb        Bb7Bb7          G minorGm
Pulled as much as I could force myself,
  FF         Eb MajorEb
and it would never do
   FF       Bb majorBb
No matter how I try

  Bb majorBb       Bb7Bb7         G minorGm
And now it comes to festering and swell,
FF            Eb MajorEb
needle stitchin' threat
   FF           Bb majorBb
And close it once it's clean


Bb7Bb7


       G minorGm           F minorFm
And when you feel the running, must have
       Eb MajorEb
set its roots
     G minorGm       F minorFm
All other heaviness will one day
       Eb MajorEb  FF
call a truce
           Bb majorBb
I'm happy just to be
