Verse:
N.C.                      G
There's that velvet horned buck
                      C
Telling me to measure up
                 D    D7
Now he locks my eyes
                  G
And I know just what I'm here for

                         G
Now love be swift love be kind
                      C
While you're making up your mind
                 D         D7
I know I don't deserve it
                 G
 But I need something to spell me

                           C
It's friday night and everything's shut down
                      G
Everyone around here is broke and tired
                        D            D7
Steam is rising from an August storm
                     G          D  G
It's like I just got born

                     G
So life be honest life be free
                      C
While you're pouring out of me
            D   D7
Or swelling up
                   G
'Cause I know that I get greedy

                               G
And I know this creek is gonna rise
                      C
And sometimes it will run dry
                        D         D7
Yeah please don't let me waste it
                            G
Ah but please don't let me drown

Chorus:
                          C
Give me a moon to keep my fears at bay
                   G
Give me a dog that don't run away
                      D        D7
Give me a love that don't fade
                   G
Oh let me walk in decency

Instrumental:
G   C   D D7   G   D G

Verse:
                        G
Now death be gentle death be proud
                        C
But most of all just be allowed
                      D   D7
Yeah let me pull the knife
                     G
Across for mercy's sake now

                     A
And if I just don't have the guts
                     D
Will you come and prop me up
                  E     E7
Yeah I know what's right
                     A
But I just can't seem to do it

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