Happy Just To Be chords by Nathaniel Rateliff

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Bb         Bb7               Gm
I was ever lame and once was there,
F                   Eb
shallow diggin' deep
     F                     Bb
With hope and heart to heal
Bb          Bb7         Gm      F                     Eb
Fell into a hole we had dug, covered with some leaves
F                  Bb
Covered you and me
Bb             Bb7             Gm
Seems so complicated now we're down,
    F                  Eb
and wanting to be free
    F                Bb
I'm happy just to be

Bb7

             Gm                     Fm
And when you feel the running, must have
              Eb
set its roots
             Gm             Fm
All other heaviness will one day
             Eb    F
call a truce
                     Bb
I'm happy just to be


Bb         Bb7               Gm
Felt it as it angled its way through,
   F                    Eb
 a sight I'd never seen
     F                     Bb
And saw it stickin' through
Bb                Bb7                   Gm
Pulled as much as I could force myself,
    F                 Eb
and it would never do
     F              Bb
No matter how I try

    Bb              Bb7                 Gm
And now it comes to festering and swell,
F                       Eb
needle stitchin' threat
     F                     Bb
And close it once it's clean


Bb7


             Gm                     Fm
And when you feel the running, must have
              Eb
set its roots
          Gm             Fm
All other heaviness will one day
             Eb    F
call a truce
                     Bb
I'm happy just to be
