[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][Am][C][G][Am][C]
[G]Well

[Verse 1]
the
rains came the day [Am]she left,
I nev[C]er thought [G]they would
She turned away like [Am]all the rest,
I [C]never thought she [G]could
It hadn't [D]rained for [Am]six weeks straight
and [C]the crops weren't [G]any good
I tell you, you're looking for [Am]food
with a [C]rifle in the [G]woods
So don't turn your [D]back [Am]on me,
I [C]might have [G]a gun
Just listen to [D]what I [G]have [Am]to say
and [C]you can carry [G]on
These are des[D]perate [Am]days
for [C]what's a man to [G]do
Time's gon[D]na let a [Am]lean on me
I had [C]no one to lean on [G]to
In [Am]1986 [C]I walked off that farm
[G]It was the year the Canadian gov[Am]ernment
put a [C]tax on country [G]charm
When I [D]told them I [Am]needed some time,
they asked me [C]where my money had [G]gone
Me, living in a [Am]two -room shack,
I [C]couldn't hardly keep [G]warm
So don't turn your [Am]back on me,
[C]I might have a g[G]un
Just listen to [D]what I [Am]have to say,
and [C]you can carry on
[G]These are desper[D]ate day[Am]s
I [C]was a man [G]to do
Time's [D]got a little [Am]lean on me
I had [C]no one to lean [G]on to
When I was just a boy
[Am]My d[C]addy said to m[G]e
Always stay straight [Am]and true
And [C]things will work out [G]you see
Well if my daddy was [Am]here tonight
to [C]listen to me sing my song
[G]I'd look him straight in the eye[Am]s
and I'd [C]tell him he was [G]wrong
So don't turn your [Am]back on me,
[C]I might have a[G] gun
Just listen to what I [Am]have to say
and [C]you can carry [G]on
But these are des[D]perate [Am]days
[C]What's a man [G]to do?
Time's [D]got a little [Am]lean on me
I had [C]no one to lean [G]on to
Time's [D]got a little [Am]lean on me
I had [C]no one to lean [G]on to
Time's [D]got a little [Am]lean on me
I had [C]no one to lean on to
[G]

[Verse 2]
