Capo IV
Yes, I know the lyrics aren't quite right. But you'll get the idea.
[Intro] Opening riff that I am yet to derive. Then:
C G C G
[Verse 1]
C F Dm F
I ain't from Texas, but I made my way from Dallas
Dm G C - G
and I know the lonesome sound is following
C F Dm F
I ain't a gambler, but I can recognize a hand
Dm G C - G
and when to hold, when queens are staring back at me.
[Interlude]

[Verse 2] (Use chords from first verse).
Once I was a carpenter, man my hands were calloused
I could swing a metal mallet sure and straight
But I took to the highway, a poet young and hungry
and I left the timbers where they lay
[Chorus]
F Fm
Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me
C Am G
and when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky
F
and when the black cloak drags upon the ground
Fm C
I'll be ready to surrender, and remember
Am G
well we're all in this together
F Fm
If I live the life I'm given, I wont be scared to die
[Verses 3+4] (Same as first two.)
And I don't come from Detroit, but her diesel motors pull me
and I followed till I finally lost my way
And now I spend my days in search of a woman we called purpose
And if I ever pass back through here town I'll stay
[Chorus]
F Fm
Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me
C Am G
and when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky
F
and when the black cloak drags upon the ground
Fm C
I'll be ready to surrender, and remember
Am G
well we're all in this together
F Fm
If I live the life I'm given, I wont be scared to die
[Interlude]

[Verse 5]
And my life is but a coin, pulled from an empty pocket
Dropped into a slot with dreams of sevens close behind
And hope and fear go with it, and moon and the sun go spinning
Like the numbers and fruits before my eyes
[Bridge]
C F G C
Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind
Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind
[Chorus]
F Fm
Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me
C Am G
and when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky
F
and when the black cloak drags upon the ground
Fm C
I'll be ready to surrender, and remember
Am G
well we're all in this together
F Fm
If I live the life I'm given, I wont be scared to die
