Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
(Violin enters)
Told you before 'bout that creak in the door
What time d'you call this?
The dog's bowl is empty and the scuttle needs coal
So be done before your father gets in!
Where the hell is your brother?
Is he playing cards again?
Don't he love his mother?
Why can't he find some friends?
So you're in, I'm ill, will you bring my glass,
and roll one while you're there.
There's bread in the back but it's of the last
so leave your father a share.
Did you talk with Luther this evening?
I heard 'bout what he's done.
No I haven't seen him,
I think he's on the run.
Ma I won't wanna tell my friends
'bout when when I was young.

There's twenty on the table, will you go to the town.
A bottle and a packet of skins.
And ask for your brother while you're down
You're gonna find out where he's been
I tried and tried to help him,
You know don't ya son?
Ya I know what you tried Ma,
I know what you've done.
Ma I won't wanna tell my friends
'bout when when I was young.
Ma I won't wanna tell my friends
'bout when when I was young.
Repeat instrumental part x2
2) When I've Got a Dollar
The intro to this song is played by the piano so the intro here is the chords that go
it.
/ - x6999x
He is such a loser, He is fool for
Playing cards with such men, He don't know his luck's end
But why would I be bothered, Why would I be bothered
When I've got a dollar, When I've got a dollar?
Things are well now Oooooh
How there's always the sign
That something's hiding where you don't wanna look
You're afraid of your eyes.
I am such a dreamer; I am such a fool for
Sending my affections in all the wrong directions
But why would I be bothered, Why would I be bothered
When I've got a dollar, When I've got a dollar?
Repeat Chorus
3) Take it on the Chin
I put fifty fine dollars on this hand.
I'm in. I'm out.Not a chance.
So only one of you dolls wanna dance,
Boy you'd better have some balls in those pants.
Gimme two cards. One card. Oh look at that!
Try to fill a flush up to bite me in the ass.
Jese,you must think Lady Luck is up there hidin' in your hat,
Or you're tryin' to fuckin' fool me boy we'll see about that.
It's a hundred to play now,
we'll see what you weigh now,
the pot is getting hotter boy we'll see if you stay round.
Oh the road,the riverboat,
Take it on the chin and deal again,
Till your money's spent.
Jacks or better,twos are wild,
Man I haven't won a round in a while,
This whiskey must be cloudin' my mind,
I'm getting older could be losin' my style.
Hey John,I hear you're leavin' us
Headin' off to better parts,
Don't you go forget us now.
Hope you're gonna send a card.
Ya I'm headin down south a while,
You know me just the wife and I,
I hear the weather's mighty fine,
Down by Saint Columbentine.
But God knows I need a break from ye,
And payin' your kids college fees,
You'll miss my money more than me,
Hey why don't the two of you calm down
you're actin' like a pair of...
Shut the fuck up,what the fuck's it got to do with you.
I don't see your money here so you don't get to contribute
Nothin' to this little battle me and the boy are havin'..
You gonna play or you gonna talk all day,
If you don't got the money throw those cards away.
Ah you're bluffin' you got nothin',
I say read em and weep cause I'm in.

4) Grace's Waltz
Okay I don't think the piano intro was ever meant to be put to guitat so find a pianist
play these chords behind it!
Come on,
Put your dancing shoes on,
The piano is playin' a tune
The lights are on, the night is young,
And I wanna go waltzing with you
These people got no sense of fun
Let's show these Joes how it's done
Come on,
You're driftin' to some different song,
You've too much wine, we're outta time,
Though nothin' about it feels wrong
I guess this is as close as I'll get
But i won't give up on you yet!
So next time you need a partner,
Unless I go find another,
I'm here to carry the weight for ya,
I'll lead the way for ya when,
We go out dancing again!

Keep their spirits up Frank,
All for some and some for all,
The only spirits here man,
Are hangin' off the wall,
Yeah, you know well as i do,
That we don't serve up cheer,
When they come for aneasthetics,
And it's been this way for years
They empty out their glasses,
Fill 'em up with tears,
One for the road, one for the road,
That leads them right back here,
To rain on their troubles,
Wash 'em down deep,
And play in the puddle,
Till they're fast asleep!
Repeat intro
Now Joe he lost his woman,
To some bigshot business man,
He said I trusted love not money,
And now look where I am!
You've had enough Joe,
You gotta go now!
You've too much Joe,
I send you home now,
And he says please Frank,
Please Frank,
But I am just a tender,
I don't give counsel, I don't get close!
I'm on no rescue mission man,
I'm in no rescue boat!
I'm here to make money,
Wages plus tips,
For pouring water into sinking ships!
And he says please Frank,
Please Frank,
But I am just a tender,
I don't give counsel, I don't get close!

Oh man, this is just the way
I imagined it would go.
But you can run your martyr's role,
You will know by the end man,
When it's just about to rain,
Like a train, it's gonna hit ya,
That you could if only you tried,
But you lied and you cheated man,
So noone came to help
Repeat intro 2 and a half times
Frankie, wait I'm sorry,
I really need your help,
All this has me worried,
Oh man this is hell!
I really need the money man,
Gonna die if I don't!
But you will reap what you will sow,
Jese you know, they were right man,
I just left it all too late, and now fate,
It is callin' for the road,
Would anyone like to buy me a drink man,
'Cause I won't be here for long!

9) Take Me With You Then
Okay well there's absolutely no guitar in this again so I just have the chords here!
Play around with Em
This town it drags you down,
It pulls the reins on those who search for higher ground,
Those who's act too proud,
And those who long to be free.
That's why I'm leaving here,
There'll be no long goodbyes I mean to disappear,
I have no time for fear,
Tonight I'll be set free.
Who sings the sad songs?
Who gets the happy ones?
Mother, I'm not comin' home tonight,
Or ever more.
Take me with you then,
You know he and I are over, I am done with him,
We're two misfits in this one horse town.
How can you ask me to?
Y'know I like you but it's something he would never do,
Not to me or you,
Oh, why all this now?
Who sings the sad songs?
Who gets the happy ones?
Mother, I'm not comin' home tonight,
Or ever more.
Continue to fade out

But there's a weight in me and it won't let me go,
Wanna shine, shine good as I know
But I do need you, ah, who
Will keep me on the straight and narrow road,
'Cause you know that I go,
A little bit off track with the bottle,
But you know I think the more you think,
The less you understand.
And the more I try to get things right,
The less they go as planned.

And now he's never coming back,
On those who love you boy,
Never turn your back.
On those who love you boy,
Never turn your back.
Repeat Intro
I find that once you've crossed that line
You never can come back.
You can try but no train in the world's
Gonna take you across the track,
On those who love you boy,
Never turn your back.
On those who love you boy,
Never turn your back.
