[Verse 1]
Dm                            F      C             Dm
I've walked half of this country to get to this town
Dm                            F      C             Dm
To put a bill in my pocket, shake the dirt from a crown
Dm                            F      C             Dm
If your worries are trouble then your trouble, it's broke
Dm                            F      C             Dm
Your bottle is empty, now there's blood on the floor
Dm                            F      C             Dm
Your bottle is empty and there's blood on the floor
 
 
[Verse 2]
Dm                         F          C                Dm
Well, the colors ain't mixin', your tolerance has run dry
Dm                            F      C             Dm
So you board up your windows to make it through the night
Dm                            F      C             Dm
They might hunt you like foxes, they'll sell you as slaves
Dm                            F      C             Dm
You'll be the one throwin' fire when they make it to the grave
Dm                            F      C             Dm
You'll be the one throwin' fire when they make it to the grave

Mother Mary called
F                 C           Dm            G
She wants her son's blood washed from the walls
F       C      Dm
Mother Mary called
F                           C               Dm

[Verse 3]
Dm                         F            C         Dm
Well, we're havin' this baby come the first of July
Dm             F            C             Dm
My job is a joke and this bank account dry
Dm                            F       C                  Dm
If the Lord loves his children like your good book does teach
Dm                            F            C          Dm
Well, He'd burn these here bastards, put shoes on my feet
Dm                            F          C                         Dm
He'd burn these here bastards and put shoes, He'd put shoes on my feet
