Chris Knight - In The Mean Time chords
Start Jamming...
Sometimes I wonder [D] where my next dollar gonna come from
Keep my head up, son, falls out of the sky
Daddy taught me how to [G] use my bootstraps [D] and carry on
He [F] said, gotta be good [C] to you, son, if you [D] try
[Am]
[D]
Officer Sam comes around, [G] give you both hands in [D] your pocket
People out there [G] just barely are getting [D] by
You're in there on two [G] seas, or no more [D] than you got to
[F] You're loading your [C] heart, keep your old powder [G] dry
Do your good [D] in the meantime
While you're waiting [G] on the good time, [F] draw the line
[D] Well,
[Am] you [D] might wanna think [G] about getting yourself a [Dm] shotgun
You [D]
might wanna think [G] about going to a dog [D] and hay
You might have to go out [G] and shoot some [Dm] dragon home
[F] Don't ever count your [C] chickens before [G] they hatch
Do your good [A] in the meantime
While you're waiting [G] on the good [F] time, draw the line
[D]
[G] [F]
[Dm]
[G] [F]
[Dm]
[D]
Well, I'm pretty sure [D] that the government ain't gonna save you
Good Lord helps the ones who help themselves
You wanna stand on your [G] own two feet and [D] use the backbone
Don't [F] go crawling on [C] your knees begging [G] for help
Do your [D] good in the meantime
While you're [G] waiting on the good [F] time, draw the line
[D] Yeah, in [G] the meantime, [F] draw the line
[Dm] [D]
