[Verse]
 
G5
I had the shit 'til it all got smoked,
D5
I kept the promise 'til the vow got broke,
D5
I had to drink from the lovin' cup,
    G5
I stood on the banks 'til the river rose up. 
C
I saw the bride in her wedding gown,

I was in the house when the house burned down.

G5
I may be old and I may be bent,
    D5
but I had the money till it all got spent,
D5
I had the money till they made me pay,
     G5
then I had the sense to be on my way. 
C
I had to stay in the underground,

I helped Him carry his cross through town,
