Great song, great album. Hope you find these chords exact!
(Capo 5)
C
When I was a boy
F
My daddy told me, “son
C
Don’t you ever mess with a certain type
G
of girl”
C
No, I’ve wished more than twice that I’d
F
taken dad’s advice
Am G C
I wish it more than anything in this world
C
He grabbed himself a bottle and he
F
looked me in the eye
C
And he’d take a plug and wipe it from his
G
chin
C
He’d say “son, don’t put much part in
F
those matters of the heart”
Am G C
I wished I had listened to him
(Chorus)
F
And tell me oh Jesus!
C
I’m asking you please
F
How do I make this endless heartache
C
cease?
F G F Am
Lord, I’d believe in you if you’d believe in
C
me too
F G C
I just want a little peace
(Come on now)
C
Us big city boys
F
We don’t think about it much
C
It’s all whiskey, wine, and messing
G
around with drugs
C
All these secrets that we keep
F
Never knowing where we’ll sleep
Am G C
I guess I always thought it was enough
C
But I’ve got this feeling in my heart
F
These days of wanting more
C G
Something to ease this weary head
C
So I guess I thought that girl might
F
redeem me from this world
Am G C
Lord, I should’ve asked you instead
(Chorus)
F
And tell me oh Jesus!
C
I’m down on my knees
F C
I know that I’m no long suffering priest
F G F
But I believe in you and could you believe
Am C
in me too
F G C
I just want a little peace
F G C
Oh lord, I just need a little peace
