Creeker Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][D][D][D][D]
[Em][G][D]

[Verse 1]
In a small corner [D]bar he sits there a-drinkin'
Lost as a [G]ball
in a field full of [D]corn
Further a[G]way than he ever [D]imagined
That he'd ever end [A]up
from the [G]place he was [D]born

[Verse 2]
Now no more for[D]lorn
as the Creeker drank whiskey
Than the one that you [G]see
outside of your [D]eye
Drinkin' a[G]lone as he looks out the [D]window
At all of the [A]strangers
on the [G]corner out[D]side[D]

[Chorus 1]
He'd rather be [G]dead
Than alive one more [D]minute
In this [A]godforsaken [D]town
When he was a [G]kid
Lord, he'd never have [D]dreamt it
All the ways that the [Em]city
can bring a [G]country boy [D]down

[Verse 3]
Now they knew not his [D]name
and he knew not their faces
And he knew not the [G]how
nor the reason for [D]why
You could ever wake [G]up
and wanna keep on [D]livin'
In a place where a [A]friend
is such a [G]hard thing to [D]find

[Verse 4]
And for everyone you [D]meet
there's a whole mess of people
Tryin' like [G]hell to pull you on [D]down
To the level they're [G]on
and the trouble they're [D]tendin'
In the mess that they've [A]made,
in the [G]gutter they [D]found

[Chorus 2]
And he'd rather be [G]dead
Than alive one [D]more minute
In this [A]godforsaken [D]town
When he was a [G]kid
Lord, he'd never have [D]dreamt it
All the ways that the [Em]city
can bring a [G]country boy [D]down

[Interlude 1]
[D][D][D][D]
[Em][G][D]

[Verse 5]
Some fellas do [D]drugs
and things of that nature
Some fellas chase [G]girls
to hang on their [D]arm
Some fellas get [G]by on practically [D]nothin'
Some fellas get [A]pissed
in a [G]small corner [D]bar

[Chorus 3]
And they'd rather be [G]dead
Than alive one [D]more minute
In this [A]godforsaken [D]town
When they were all [G]kids
Lord, they'd never have [D]dreamt it
All the ways that the [Em]city
can bring a [G]country boy [D]down[Em][G]
