Neer Do Wells

(início)

E
When I was nine years old
                                          (E7)
My daddy made me see
        Am           D
The story of the railroad
 E                                 (E7)
And how it came to be
E
He said the men who laid it down
                                                (E7)
Had left their own hometowns
                      A                             D
And broke their backs to give us traction
                   Em                          E
And that's what he did for me
(CHORUS)
E                                                 (E7)
Ne'er do wells and woebegones
C                  D              E
Show your face, for we were wrong
E
Ne'er do wells and woebegone
C             Dm            Em             E    (E7)
Feel no shame, it won't be long
E
Do you ever stop to think
                         Em
Who built those walls around you?
                        Am
Do you ever wonder
                                           E      (E7)
Who those people were at all?
                E
Because the hands that give you shelter
                                                     (E7)
Are the very ones that you refuse
Am                                  D
And proof of what they're worth
              E
Will live long after you and I are gone
(CHORUS)
E                                                 (E7)
Ne'er do wells and woebegone
C                 D      E
Show your face, for we were wrong
E                                                 (E7)
Ne'er do wells and woebegones
C               D        E
Feel no shame, it won't be long
E  (E7)
Am D E
E
Come on
E
I beg you listen with an open heart
                                                (E7)
Your soul is so cruelly judged
Am                                A
Forgive us for our trespasses
Em
Were taught to us because
  E
We were raised by people
Raised by people
Just like you and so
A                                  D
When the world falls down around us
Em                              E
It'll lead to you our goal
C                      D
It'll be to you we all come running
(CHORUS)
E                                                  (E7)
Ne'er do wells and woebegones
C                 D       E
Show your face, for we were wrong
E                                                  (E7)
Ne'er do wells and woebegones
C               D         E
Feel no shame, it won't be long
E (E7)
Am D E
