Verse:
N.C.           G+G
There's that velvet horned buck
           C majorC
Telling me to measure up
         D MajorD  D7D7
Now he locks my eyes
         G+G
And I know just what I'm here for

             G+G
Now love be swift love be kind
           C majorC
While you're making up your mind
         D MajorD     D7D7
I know I don't deserve it
         G+G
 But I need something to spell me

              C majorC
It's friday night and everything's shut down
           G+G
Everyone around here is broke and tired
            D MajorD      D7D7
Steam is rising from an August storm
           G+G     D MajorD G+G
It's like I just got born

           G+G
So life be honest life be free
           C majorC
While you're pouring out of me
      D MajorD  D7D7
Or swelling up
          G+G
'Cause I know that I get greedy

                G+G
And I know this creek is gonna rise
           C majorC
And sometimes it will run dry
            D MajorD     D7D7
Yeah please don't let me waste it
              G+G
Ah but please don't let me drown

Chorus:
             C majorC
Give me a moon to keep my fears at bay
          G+G
Give me a dog that don't run away
           D MajorD    D7D7
Give me a love that don't fade
          G+G
Oh let me walk in decency

Instrumental:
G+G  C majorC  D MajorD D7D7  G+G  D MajorD G+G

Verse:
            G+G
Now death be gentle death be proud
            C majorC
But most of all just be allowed
           D MajorD  D7D7
Yeah let me pull the knife
           G+G
Across for mercy's sake now

           A augmentedA
And if I just don't have the guts
           D MajorD
Will you come and prop me up
         E MajorE   E7E7
Yeah I know what's right
           A augmentedA
But I just can't seem to do it

Chorus:
             D MajorD
Give me a moon to keep my fears at bay
          A augmentedA
Give me a dog that don't run away
             E MajorE
Give me a love that don't fade
         B minorBm
Oh let me walk in decency
          A augmentedA
Oh let me walk in decency
