A house, not a home, was the picture set and painted,
For [Eb] _ sweet little _ sister [Bb] and me. _ _ _ _ _
Our daddy would _ frown, while _ mother was praying,
His heart was so hardened _
[F] that he would not [Bb] believe. _
_ _ _ _ In anger he'd swear [Eb] his voice cold and [Bb] loud,
_ His Sundays were spent _ out with the gambling [F] _ _ _ crowd.
[Cm] _ [F] _
[Bb] I'd never seen my daddy _
[Eb] inside the house [Bb] of God,
For Satan held his hand [F] down the path of [Bb] sin he'd [Cm] _ _
[Bb] _ _ trod. _ _ _ _

_ Not long ago, our circle was broken,
[Eb] _
When God called on mother [Bb] one night. _ _ _ _ _
In a voice sweet and low, her last words were spoken, _ _
_ _ Asking our daddy [F] to raise her [Bb] children _ _ _ right.
_ When the _ angels _ _ retroshed [Eb] in heaven [Bb] last night,
I heard my daddy _ pray, dear God [F] make it right. _ _ _ _
[Bb] He was smiling and singing, _ [Eb] with tears in [Bb] his eyes,
While mother with the [F] angels _ _ rejoiced [Bb] last _ night.
_ _ _ While mother with the angels _ [F] _ _ _
[Cm] rejoiced _ _ last [Eb] night. _

_ _ _ _ _ _ This is GP, _ listen.
She, _ _ _ _ _ _ she _ [Am] _
_ _ _ came [D] from the land [Eb] of the [D] cotton,
[Gm] A _ [Gb] land that was [Bb] nearly [E] forgotten.
_ [Eb] Got _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ebm] _ _
him [E] all _ town _ through, _ _ _ [B] a loss of his _ head. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gbm] You probably remember Graham Parsons from the Flying Burrito Brothers [D] or the Birds,
but now with help from friends Byron [A] Berline, Al Perkins, Emmy Lou Harris and co-producer Rick [D] Gretsch,
Graham Parsons has finally recorded an album that is truly his own.
Born in a little village hard. _ _ _
