Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
O lord I think I'm falling to my disbelief
I'm cursing like a sailor and lying like a thief
It's hard to heed the calling from the better side of me
When I'm blaming everybody else and no one's coming clean
O lord can you see my thick skin wearing thin
And the demons of a lesser me are beckoning me in
Those who gathered 'round me - I'm watching them all leave
Cause I am my own ragged company
You can take a trip to china or take a boat to Spain
Take a blue canoe around the world and never come back again
But traveling don't change a thing, it only makes it worse
Unless the trip you take is in to change your cruel course
'Cause every town's got a mirror and every mirror still shows me
That I am my own ragged company
I am my own ragged company
Instrumental
Won't you help me lord
Won't you help me lord
someone cut the cord
Instrumental
Oh it's lonely, lord it's mighty cold
And I don't want to live this way afraid of growing old
It's hard to heed the warning when you cannot see the crime
The only way to remember is to forget in a rhyme
And I'm scared to tread the red road that leads to galilee
Cause I am my own ragged company
I am my own ragged company (x3)
