from London Town, 1978

(Capo 5, preferably 12-string)

Em Em/F G D
Well, the rain was a-falling and the ground turned to mud
Em D A
I was watching all the people running from the flood
Em Em/F G D
So I started to prayin` though I ain`t no prayin` man
Bm Em Bm Em
for the Lord to come a helpin` knowing he`d understand.

CHORUS:
D D/C Bm
Deliver your children to the good good life
G Bm Em
give `em peace and shelter and a fork and knife
D D/C Bm
shine a light in the morning and a light at night
D Fm Bm G Bm Em
and if a thing goes wrong you`d better make it right.

Em Em/F G D
Well, I had me a woman, she was good and clean
Em D A
she spent all day with the washing machine
Em G D
but when it came to lovin` she was never around
Bm Em Bm Em
she was out getting dirty --- all over town.


CHORUS

Am Am/B C G
Well, I was low on money and my truck broke down
Am G D
I was on my way to the lost and found
Am Am/B C G
so I took it to a dealer, I said make it run
Em Am Em Em7 Am
well, I ain`t got no money, but I got me a gun.

Am Am/B C G
I said you robbed me before so I`m robbing you back
Am G D
and if it don`t put you straight it`ll put you on the right track
Am Am/B C G
well, I ain`t no devil and I ain`t no saint
Em Am Em Em7 Am
but I can tell a dealer by the color of his paint.


CHORUS

Em Em/F G D
If you want good eggs you gotta feed that hen
Bm Em
and if you wanna hear some more
Bm Em
well, I`ll sing it again.
