Neer Do Wells

E
When I was nine years old
My daddy made me see
      (E7)

        Am           D
The story of the railroad
 E                                 
And how it came to be
(E7)

E
He said the men who laid it down
Had left their own hometowns
            (E7)

                      A         
And broke their backs to give us 
                    D
traction
                   Em              
And that's what he did for me
            E


(CHORUS)
E                                 
Ne'er do wells and woebegones
                (E7)

C                  D              E
Show your face, for we were wrong
E
Ne'er do wells and woebegone
C             Dm            Em  
Feel no shame, it won't be long
           E    (E7)


E
Do you ever stop to think
                         Em
Who built those walls around you?
Continues after the ad
                        Am
Do you ever wonder
Who those people were at all?
       E      (E7)

                E
Because the hands that give you 
shelter
Are the very ones that you refuse
                 (E7)

Am                                
And proof of what they're worth
  D

              E
Will live long after you and I are 
gone

(CHORUS)
E                                 
Ne'er do wells and woebegone
                (E7)

C                 D      E
Show your face, for we were wrong
E                                 
Ne'er do wells and woebegones
                (E7)

C               D        E
Feel no shame, it won't be long

E  (E7)
Am D E

E
Come on

E
I beg you listen with an open heart
Your soul is so cruelly judged
            (E7)

Am                                A
Forgive us for our trespasses
Em
Were taught to us because
  E
We were raised by people
Raised by people
Just like you and so
A                                  D
When the world falls down around us
Em                              E
It'll lead to you our goal
C                      D
It'll be to you we all come running

(CHORUS)
E                                 
Ne'er do wells and woebegones
                 (E7)

C                 D       E
Show your face, for we were wrong
E                                 
Ne'er do wells and woebegones
                 (E7)

C               D         E
Feel no shame, it won't be long

E (E7)
Am D E
