I'd like to do one more up-tempo song, at least one more.
I don't want to get the banjo gear.
This song here, I know you've heard it before because so many people have did this.
We wrote it in [A] 1982, [E] and we had a little recording [C#] studio [F#] up there in Manor, North Carolina.
And we wrote this song in the [N] year 1984.
Over 400 Greeks [Am] recorded this song.
Now, [E] folks, this song is still spreading like wildfire.
I don't know people that just love [D] it, latch it on to [Bm] it.
In our [D#] day and time, I got a letter and a check.
I [F] got a check from Google [D#] [G] about 30 days ago.
[Dm] And that check was for $25.
[E]
[A] Now, I want you to understand, that was on this song here.
Now, that represented one-tenth of one cent for [E] everybody that downloaded this song in that month.
[Em] So, ten people had to download it before we got a penny.
[G#]
So, [Em] we got $25.
That's how fast this song was growing.
That many people [G]
downloaded this song, thousands.
Hope you'll enjoy it.
We got the [Am] Doug Award in Nashville, [G] Tennessee for this song [D#] in 2009 for the [Am] Bluegrass Recording Song of the Year.

I'm every day mad and frightened, very mad, oh, folks.
[E] If I tip off this ladder, [A] give another victory.
There are no clearer letters than the hanging on [E] high.
[A]
What good are the things that [E] change as they're [A] old as this ladder for me?
[E] [F#m] [A]
[E] [A]
There's a man who's been here for me, but words no related.
And [E] the letters that I'm [A] signing is a part of her plan.
I'm every day mad and frightened, very mad, oh, folks.
[E] There's a town that's waiting [A] for you in your little town.
Hell.
I'm every old [E] man who's rocked up to the ladder, [A] and I'm growing old.
And I'm on the ladder, oh, I'm trying to make [E] change.
There's no better [A] road up this ladder for me.

Oh, you Christian soldiers, because the world is up in [E] sight.
And on this rock, old [A] man, I'm going to be a prairie clock.
And you'll hear the angels cheering.
And the band will build the oar, [E] and we'll celebrate the [A] victory.
And we'll have your victory.
There are no clearer letters than I'm trying to go.
And [E] I'm on the ladder, [A] and I'm growing old.
