Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

2x

  Well, I know how it feels to be ripped from my roots

  And tossed into a world unbending.

  Not long ago I was bitten by the truth

  Some folks spend their whole life pretending.

  Now I start each mornin' with the sunlight by my side

  Find another highway, hitch another ride

  And I use this six-string like an archer wields his bow

  I believe when the arrow finds its mark

It pierces the soul.

(Chorus)

  Three songs for a quarter each time I open my case

  Four chords and the voice of a good man fallen from grace

  No pity for me mister, I'm proud to be a drifter

  A long shot from bein' a star

  You know, the times ain't been easy

  For me and my Homeless Guitar.

  Now I know how it feels to be judged in a glance

  Stripped of your pride and your passion.

  I only know that the rivers of the soul

  Run deeper than birthright or fashion.

  I see you look me over, feel the weight of your stare

  I'm sendin' you a message but you act like you don't care.

  I see a ripple, a crack in your facade

  You know, it really don't matter who you think you are

We're the same under God.

(Chorus)

  I thank the Lord above for the gift He's given me

  I'm richer than most men

  Got a friend in my six-string

  In a world where trust ain't got no guarantee

  If you ain't got a penny

  Gonna sing you this song for free, yeah. Akkorde wie Chorus

(Chorus)

  Oh, I use these six-strings like an archer wields his bow

  I believe when the arrow finds its mark

It pierces the soul.

Chorus

  You know, the times ain't been easy
