I've never been too good to pick up a penny and lately I've been short of too damn many
D                      C                G                                   D C G G
Wife up and left, and baby in my ride, dog's at my feet beggin' for a bite
        F                                            G                                   D
Empty pockets make sinners out of bona fide saints, swore to my daddy never tarnish his name

[Verse 2]
Bm                                G
Droughts have been long and the floods have been fierce
       A                                   F#   Bm
Ain't made a profit on the farm in near a dozen years
         Bm                      G
There's money all around eight thousand feet down
      A                         F#              Bm     G A F#
Be a few more months 'fore the drill can break ground
 
 
[Verse 3]
Bm                   G                      A                         F#      Bm
So far behind every loan is dеnied and the bank has a mind to kick us out of herе
Bm                         G                       A                       F#            Bm
I'd see this whole world ground down to sand if I ever see the day that a suit takes my land
 
 
[Chorus]
            G              D
I've got a pistol and some TNT
            A                          D
There's an armoured truck on Tuesday carries what I need
          G                       Em
I'm not proud of this cliff I'm jumpin'
          F#                                         Bm
But I've gotta make it through 'til the gas starts pumpin'
 
[Break]
G A F# Bm G A F#
 
[Verse 4]
     Bm                            G
I'll take it on the road where no one will see
  A                                    F#       Bm
I know the mountains better than a warrior Cherokee
Bm                       G
I grew up with Tommy and he did right by me
     A                                F#            Bm
I'll take the cash he's guardin' and buy whatever I need
 
 
[Chorus]
            G              D
I've got a pistol and some TNT
            A                          D
There's an armoured truck on Tuesday carries what I need
          G                      Em
I'm not proud of this cliff I'm jumpin'
          F#                                         Bm
But I've gotta make it through 'til the gas starts pumpin'

[Bridge]
        Bm                            G
I hope daddy's not lookin' down as I wait here for that truck
    A                          F#            Bm*
And if he is I pray to God he sends a little luck

I've never been too good to pick up a penny and lately I've been swimmin' in so damn many
       D                     C
Every cheque I receive comes at a high price
       G                                 D C G G
Sometimes I visit Tommy's grave at night
         F
And the well'll yield high for many years
     G                         D
And damn my reckonin' surely nears
