[Verse 1]
[Em]I wa[A]nt[Em][A][Em][A]
[Em]to be more like Jesus,
oh Mary don't you weep
I'll keep my lamp trending burning,
His grace don't come cheap

[A]my father taught [Em]me well
I can't live without [B]Sunday
[A]It would be a burning
[Em]hell[D][A][D][B]
Everybody [Em]ought to live right
Be ready when he comes
Let my [A]Jesus [Em]lead you
So you can hear him say, well done
[A]I'm the son of Skip James
Shucks, I can see you don't [Em]be lieve
You know you're smiling in my [B]face
[A]Boy, you got aces up your [Em]sleeve[D][Em]

[Em]Swee[A]tness

[A]It would be a burning [Em]hell[D][Em][D]
[B]I don't read the[Em] Rolling Stones Man,[A]

[D]oh, [A]my father taught me [Em]good[A]
[Em]I don't do what I want to,[B]
[A]I do what I ought and what

Seven [Em]stars in his right hand
Seven trumpets are gonna sound
Seven lampstands like the wind
Seven scholars, seven crowns
I'm [A]a son of Skip James
[D]But [A]I'm not a loud old bra[Em]ss
I'm a [B]lover, not a [A]fighter,
[D]but[A] I could kick you[Em]r ass[D][A]
[Em]I don't do[B] wha[Em]t I want to,[B]
[A]still love what I oughta and what I [Em]should
