Poverty Wind chords by Sarah Jane Scouten

Chords with lyrics

Verse:

A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm E MajorE
Your knuckles are bare and red as the sun
A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm E MajorE
Your head pounds like fists in the night
A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm E MajorE
And the woman at home, she said you’re no good
A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm E MajorE
You stepped out ‘cause you know that she’s right


Chorus:

C majorC A minorAm FF A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
Well good times are found in a bottle and a zip-lock bag
C majorC A minorAm FF A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
And when you met it was love at first sight
C majorC A minorAm FF A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
And it’s trouble ahead and a mess to the left and the right
DmDm E7E7 A minorAm
The devil you know, that’s where you’ve been
DmDm E7E7 A minorAm
Out on the poverty wind

Verse:

A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm E MajorE
It’s eight-fifty an hour, get your ass out of bed
A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm E MajorE
Stand in line and work for the day
A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm E MajorE
For a slave-driving bastard, no better than you
A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm E MajorE
You’re in luck if you ever see your pay


Chorus:

C majorC A minorAm FF A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
Well you’ve had it bad and it shows in the lines of your face
C majorC A minorAm FF A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
But it can’t get any worse now you’ve found your place
C majorC A minorAm FF A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
With those loud mouth, piece of shit nothings that you call friends
DmDm E7E7 A minorAm
It blows hard, and you can’t win
DmDm E7E7 A minorAm
Against the poverty wind

Verse:

A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm E MajorE
The bar down the street smells like home, you’re supposed to escape
A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm E MajorE
That mildew, second-hand smoke and old brown paint
A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm E MajorE
And the kid is as restless as you were at his damn age
A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm E MajorE
You hope that he won’t, but know that he will


Chorus:

C majorC A minorAm FF A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
Well good times are found in a bottle and a zip-lock bag
C majorC A minorAm FF A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
And when you met it was love at first sight
C majorC A minorAm FF A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
And it’s trouble ahead and a mess to the left and the right
DmDm E7E7
The devil you know, that’s where you’ve been
DmDm E7E7
The devil you know, that’s where you’ve been
DmDm E7E7
The devil you know, that’s where you’ve been
A minorAm
