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)
