The Poor Ditching Boy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Was [G]the
Nevada winter so cold and so sad?
With a river too many [C]to flood?
[G]The storming wind cut through to my skin
The [C]cheek cut through [G]to my blood
[C]I was l[G]ooking for trouble
to tangle my lines
When trouble come a -looking for [C]me
I [G]knew I was standing on
treacherous ground
But I was [C]sinking too [D]fast to run [G]free
With her [C]schem[Am]ing [G]hide -[Em]all [D]away
She [C]left me [Am]poor [G]enough
The storm and the wind
got through to my skin
But [C]she got [D]through to me [C]blood

[C]Now I wou[G]ld not be asking, I would not be
be seen either begging
on a mountain or [C]hill.
Still I'm [G]petty and I'm
blind with my hands
tied behind,
but I've [C]neither a [D]mind nor a [G]will.
[C]Oh, [G]it's bitter the needle
to pull the chain away
Or he'll always believe what [C]they say
When they [G]tell him it's hard
to be honest and good
Does he [C]mind when he [D]doesn't get [G]paid?
With [D]her [C]steaming
[Am]I kn[G]ow t[Em]he way[D]
She [C]left me
[Am]Born [G]in love
[C]The [G]storming away
Brought truth to my skin
But [C]she brought [D]truth to me
[G]Blood
With a [C]steam[Am]ing [G]eye [Em]the
[D]way she [C]left me [Am]pouring [G]down
[C]A s[G]torm and a wind
cut through to my skin
But [C]she comes [D]through to me [C]blind
