Chords for John Paul White: Tiny Desk Family Hour

[Eb] I'm gonna do a song for you now that I'm really happy to say makes my kids cry.
_ _ Yeah, I was proud [Bb] too. _
_ [Db] That's not easy.
My kids are hard.
I [C] didn't intend to do that.
[Eb] I wrote this song about my love-hate relationship with doing this for a living.
This part, this is great.
It's all the other stuff that's not.
And when I played
them this song, especially my 11 year old was crying, and I _ immediately felt guilty
but knew that I was going to record it for the next record.
So [Abm] _ here you go.
_ _ [Gb] _ [Abm] _
_ _ [Gb] _ [Abm] _ _ _ [Gb] _ [Abm] _
_ _ Here I go _ [E] once again down [Gb] the road.

[Abm] _ _ _ [Gb] _ [Abm] _
_ _ [Gb] _ [Abm] _ _ _ Eye for eye, _ [E] tooth for tooth.
