Ballad In The Dust

   D                         
Oh citizen hear me sing as im 
  A7
sitting here in the dust
   A7                          D
It's the wrong time for music but I 
feel like I must
   D                           G  
I'm filled up with sadness, I'm in
         Em7
 a dirty mood
   G                 D          
Tomorrow it might be better but 
A7            D
it'll never be good
   G                 D          
Tomorrow it might be better but 
A7            D
it'll never be good

[Verse]
   D                           
If I call my sweet honey, shell 
A7
surely give me all the news
   A7                          D
And we'll handle love business, hell
 it gives me the blues
   D                     G     
I don't think I can make it, but 
       Em7
maybe I should
   G                    D    
After all, I might feel better 
           A7            D
though I never feel good

After all, I might feel better 
           A7            D
though I never feel good

[Verse]
   D                           A7
So long pretty baby if I see you no 
more
   A7                          D
I might drop you some letter from a 
far away shore
   D                           G  
Don't you cry then, sweet baby, 
              Em7
you were doing real fine
   G                               
Though your coffee might have been 
 D              A7            D
bitter but your love was like wine
   G                           D  
Your coffee might have been bitter
           A7            D
 but your love was like wine

[Verse]
   D                           A7
Sometimes I get a headache or my 
stomach is ill
   A7                          D
Man, I go to the doctor and he gives
 me a pill
   D                           G  
But if radio-active ashes fall 
         Em7
down from the sky
   G                       D      
Boy, you'll never get any better, 
           A7            D
you'll be dead by and by
   G                 D            
You'll never get any better, 
     A7            D
you'll be dead by and by

[Verse]
   D                             
Lord, I don't understand, it is a 
   A7
sin and a shame
   A7                         
I don't know what keeps people 
           D
fighting, I don't know who to blame
   D                               
I'm just sittin' in the dust and I 
 G           Em7
don't see the light
   G                   D          
I don't think it'll be better, 
    A7      D
still maybe it might
   G                   D          
I don't think it'll be better, 
   A7       D
still maybe it might
