D
Four and twenty years ago I come into this life
		      
Son of a woman and a man who lived in strife
	  F	   G        D
He was tired of bein' poor
	  F           G               D
And he wasn't into sellin' door to door
	  F               G           D
And he worked like the devil to be more
D
A different kind of poverty now upsets my soul

Night after sleepless night I walk the floor and I want to know
F   G         D
why am I so alone
F           G           D
Where is my woman can I bring her home
       F          G     
Have I driven her away  
       D
Is she gone

SOLO

D           
Morning comes to sunrise and I'm driven to my bed
D
I see it is empty and there's devils in my head.
  F       G                D
I embrace the many colored beast
       F            G                 D
I grow weary of the torment can there be no peace
      F                G                                 D
And I find myself just wishing that my life would simply cease
D
Four and twenty years ago I come into this life
		      
A son of a woman and a man who lived in strife
	  F	   G        D
He was tired of bein' poor
	  F           G               D
And he wasn't into sellin' door to door
	  F               G           D
And he worked like the devil to be more
