A Promise To Distinction chords by Swingin Utters

Chords with lyrics

on the internet...

When I post this tab, the chords don't line up with the words anymore, and quite frankly
I'm not going to fuck around with it and fix it. you can figure it out.

This tab isn't perfect but I was hoping to just throw it up and see if people add to it.

INTRO

C majorC  D MajorD  G+G  C majorC  D MajorD  G+G C majorC G+G

G+G
Once I was younger than
     C majorC              G+G
The youngest of fragile minds
                  C majorC
I ate the day with bad manners
               G+G
Then spit out the rind

    E minorEm           G+G
And mother, mother told me
   E minorEm           D MajorD
As I looked to the sky
E minorEm           G+G         C majorC       D MajorD
Yes my mother told me, "my dear son,
             G+G
You're not the one"

G+G            C majorC          G+G
I flew home when I was just 21
                    C majorC          G+G
Young enough to be the father of someone
          C majorC                   G+G
I've got a conch pissed with conch republic rum

My father by my side, teary-eyed, he said:

E minorEm      G+G       C majorC         D MajorD
"Son, by God, what I could have done,
E minorEm       G+G
And you're just like me
         C majorC          D MajorD
You can, really put 'em down
C majorC       D MajorD          G+G
If I was in your place, I'd stay, have fun"
C majorC     D MajorD           G+G
        But I'm not the one

G+G            C majorC
Now I'm sittin' here
             G+G
Haggling over sums
               C majorC
Money made by someone else
  G+G           C majorC
To me, it don't belong
G+G              C majorC
I toss a smile to the mighty boss
G+G       C majorC
He's my God
G+G         C majorC
But I'm a bit backwards
    G+G              C majorC
And I know he's just a fuckin' dog

E minorEm               G+G
And mother, mother told me,
E minorEm            D MajorD
As I looked to the sky
E minorEm      G+G         C majorC         D MajorD
Yes my mother told me my dear son
             G+G     C majorC
"You're not the one"
            G+G     C majorC
"you're not the one"
           G+G      C majorC
You're not the one"
            G+G      C majorC
You're not the one"
