[First Part]

Dm                            F  
I've walked half of this country 
    C             Dm
to get to this town
Dm                            F  
To put a bill in my pocket, shake
    C             Dm
 the dirt from a crown
Dm                            F  
If your worries are trouble then 
    C             Dm
your trouble, it's broke
Dm                            F  
Your bottle is empty, now there's
    C             Dm
 blood on the floor
Dm                            F  
Your bottle is empty and there's 
    C             Dm
blood on the floor

[Second Part]

Dm                         F     
Well, the colors ain't mixin', 
     C                Dm
your tolerance has run dry
Dm                            F  
So you board up your windows to 
    C             Dm
make it through the night
Dm                            
They might hunt you like foxes, 
F      C             Dm
they'll sell you as slaves
Dm                            F  
You'll be the one throwin' fire 
    C             Dm
when they make it to the grave
Dm                            F  
You'll be the one throwin' fire 
    C             Dm
when they make it to the grave

Dm                         F     
Well, we're havin' this baby come
       C         Dm
 the first of July
Dm             F            
My job is a joke and this bank 
C             Dm
account dry
Dm                            F  
If the Lord loves his children 
     C                  Dm
like your good book does teach
Dm                            F  
Well, He'd burn these here 
          C          Dm
