This song is about the price that blind faith and refusing to give up your illusions expects.
[E] [G]
[F]
[G]
Yeah!
I've seen a man stand over a dead dog, [C] down the [G] highway in a ditch.
Looking down kind of [D]
fuzzy, hoping that dog will stick.
Car [G] door fumbled open, [C] he's standing out on Highway [G] 31.
Like if he stood there long enough, [D] that [G] dog would give him a kiss.
He'd get up and run.
Man's talking kind of far, seems kind of funny certainly.
At the end of [C] every hard [G]-earned day, he'll [D] find some reason to believe.
[G]
John,
[C] with a lovely mean [G] angel, said,
Baby, I'll work for [C] you every day, and bring my money home to you.
[D] One day [G] I'll follow.
[G]
She waits down the end of [C] that [D] dirt road, [A] for him to [G] come back.
Yeah, he's talking [C] kind of [G] far, seems [C] kind of funny [G] certainly.
At the end of every [C] [G] hard-earned day, [D] he'll find some reason to [G] believe.
Take a baby to the river, [C]
a cow will you make all him.
And wash the baby in the [G] water, take away the [D] cow's sin.
And a whitewash [D] shotgun she'll use [G] to.
He'll take his body to the graveyard, [Dm] [G] and over him they pray.
Lord now [C] won't you
[G] tell us, tell [C] us what [G] does it mean.
At the end of every hard-earned day, he'll find some reason to believe.
[E]
[G] [D]
[G]
Well the congregation gathers, [C] down by [G] the riverside.
Preacher stands with his Bible, groom stands with his [D] bride.
[G] The congregation goes, and the song sits [C] down by [G] the weeping willow tree.
The groom stands [Em] alone, and [G] watches [D] the river rush on.
Oh yeah, [G]
yeah, [C] yeah, [G] yeah.
[C]
Still at the end of every hard [G]-earned day, [D] he'll find some reason [G] to believe.
Oh,
[C] oh, [G]
oh,
[C] oh.
