Oh, don't do that, Speck.
I can't be frying fish and dancing at the same time.
Well then, why don't we just forget the fish fry?
[F]
[Eb] [F] We started out with [Bb] a sin and a [F] lie
Moved on to [C] what's [Dm]
[C] in it for me
And [F] when trouble [A] washed up, hell, we [Bb] just let it flow [F] by
And our kindness [C] just washed out to [F] sea
They say [A] Jesus died on [Bb] the old road [F] across
To save you from [C] people [Dm] [C] like me
[F] And Daddy, [A] he'd slay [Bb] for no care [F] of ours
[Dm] There's nothing [C] more than nothing [F] but real
[D] Now, [G] saviors, they were lies [C] all [G] the time
And sinners just [D] tried to [Em] get [D] by
[C] And [G] the losers, [B] they played [C] till they scrunched their [G] lives down
With the comfort [D] of knowing [G] they tried
[E] [A] Well, they say Jesus [Db] died on [D] the old road [A] across
To save you from [E] people [Gb] [E] like me
And [A] [B] Daddy, he'd [Db] slay [D] for no care [A] of ours
[Gbm] There's nothing more [E] than nothing [A] but real
Well, I've lived a good life [D] and I've [A] lived well
And it both felt like [Abm] [Gbm] sweet [E] liberty
And [A] I've smelt the [B] [Db] storm coming, [D] my redemption at [A]
hand
[Gbm] And [Gb] everything [E] good [A] comes for free
[F] Well, [Bb] they say Jesus died [Eb] on the old [Bb] road across
To save you from people [G]
[F] like me
And [Bb]
Daddy, he'd [D] slay [Eb] for no care [Bb] of ours
[Gm] Nothing more [F] than nothing [Bb] but free
Well, they say [C] [Bb] Jesus died on [Eb] the [Bb] old road across
[Gm] Nothing more [F] than nothing [Bb] but free
[C] [Bb]
