A Couple Acres Greener

     Em                      C
I’ve never been so hungry,
           G                    
Seems like twenty-two years I’ve 
      D             Cdim
been looking for a fight
Em                                
Never stayed in school for long,    
C
 couldn’t keep my patience on
G                           D    
   Never had the motivation quite
           Cdim
 to get my timing right


[PD –CHORUS] 1 + 2:
C                       G
  (I want my story to begin)/(I want
 to celebrate my sins)
          D                      
There’s a time to save up and a 
Em      D
time     to
C                             G
Spend    I’m to young for the past 
tense
         D                   Cdim 
All this worrying about what might
   Cdim    Cdim    D#dim    F#dim
   have    been

[Chorus]
Em                                
    Should have been a preacher 
   C
man, let the good book show me where
 to
G                     D        Cdim
Stand in this earthly half-way home
Em                                
    Should have been a farmin’ 
  C
man, teach my boy to plow the land
G                             
Leave this wicked winter just a 
  D            Cdim          (Em 
couple acres greener when I go
   C    G    D   Cdim)


     Em                       C
I’ve never been so thirsty to get my
 soul right
    G                          
But like a summer bug I’ve been 
 D             Cdim
burned by the blinding light
Em                               
Never stayed in church for long, 
C
poplar pews ‘n white folks songs
G                           D    
Sunday morning never was as real 
   Cdim
as Friday Night

[PD –CHORUS 3] (one strum each):
C                             G
    Some day they’ll write my name 
up on a
D           Em                D
Stone and I won’t be there to see it
C                 G            D
    Up on Calv’ry calling me I 
            Cdim   Cdim   Cdim   
know they’ll say . . .
