Capo 3


[Verse 1]

G  G

     G
Dirt roads and dry land farming

Might be the death of me
      C                          G
But I can't leave this world behind

And my debts are not like prison

Were there's hope of getting free
      C                          G
And I can't leave this world behind

[Chorus 1]

D                                  
  I've been from here to Lawrence, 
C
Kansas
D                             C
  Trying to leave my state of mind
D                             C
  Trying to leave this awful sadness
                                 G
But I can't leave this world behind

Continues after the ad
[Verse 2]

         G
South of Deliah there's a patch

Out back by the willow tree
      C                          G
And I can't leave this world behind

It's a fenced in piece of nothing

Where I hear voices on my knees
      C                          G
And I can't leave this world behind

[Chorus 2]

D                   
  Some prophecies are 
           C
self-fulfilling
D                                 
  But I've had to work for all of 
C
mine
D                                 
  Better times will come to me, 
   C
God willing
'Cause I can't leave this world 
   G
behind

[Verse 3]

     G
This world must be frightning

Everybody's on the run
      C                          G
And I can't leave this world behind

And my house is a wooden one

And it's built on the ruins of a 
wooden one
         C                     
Seem's I can't leave this world 
     G
behind

[Chorus 3]

D                                 
  Preacher says that when the 
    C
master calls us
D                             C
  He's gonna give us wings to fly
D                                  
  But my wings are made of hay and 
C
corn husks
                                G
So I can't leave this world behind
