Subject: CRD: 'Deliver your children' by Paul McCartney
Deliver your children (Paul McCartney, 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 F#m Bm G Bm Em
and if a thing goes wrong you'd better make it right.
Well, I had me a woman, she was good and clean
she spent all day with the washing machine
but when it came to lovin' she was never around
she was out getting dry 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 on 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.
