Children

(Capo 5, preferably 12-string)

Em                                
Well, the rain was a-falling and 
                 Em/F#  G  D
the ground turned to     mud
      Em                     
I was watching all the people 
                  D  A
running from the flood
     Em                         
So I started to prayin' though I 
              Em/F# G  D
ain't no prayin'   man
        Bm             Em    
for the Lord to come a helpin' 
          Bm         Em
knowing he'd understand.

CHORUS:
D            D/C#            Bm
Deliver your children to the good 
good life
G                  Bm            
give 'em peace and shelter and a 
Em
fork and knife
        D            D/C#          
shine a light in the morning and a 
Bm
light at night
         D     F#m  Bm       
and if a thing goes wrong you'd 
          G    Bm Em
better make it right.

Em                                
Well, I had me a woman, she was 
   Em/F#  G  D
good and clean
    Em                             
she spent all day with the washing 
   D  A
machine
     Em                            
but when it came to lovin' she was 
        G  D
never around
        Bm          Em        Bm 
she was out getting dirty --- all
      Em
 over town.


CHORUS

            Am                 
Well, I was low on money and my 
       Am/B  C  G
truck broke down
      Am                       
I was on my way to the lost and 
 G  D
found
     Am                         
so I took it to a dealer, I said 
      Am/B  C  G
make it run
        Em           Am           
well, I ain't got no money, but I 
Em  Em7  Am
got me a gun.

           Am                      
I said you robbed me before so I'm 
        Am/B C  G
robbing you  back
          Am                    
and if it don't put you straight 
                            G  D
it'll put you on the right track
        Am                         
well, I ain't no devil and I ain't 
Am/B C  G
no   saint
    Em           Am            Em
but I can tell a dealer by the 
    Em7    Am
color of his paint.


CHORUS

       Em                          
If you want good eggs you gotta 
  Em/F# G  D
feed that  hen
           Bm              Em
and if you wanna hear some more
           Bm         Em
well, I'll sing it again.
