The Battle And The War

Cadd9 / G / Dsus4 / G

[Verse]
Cadd9     G             Dsus4    
When I am buried, don't visit my 
G
grave.
Cadd9      G                
God cannot save me from the 
Dsus4       G
sins I've embraced.
Cadd9      G              Dsus4 
Pay your respects to that old 
     G
liquor store
     Cadd9      G          Dsus4 
Where I won the battle, but I 
      G
lost the war.
Cadd9        G         Dsus4     
You mine for silver and I pan for 
 G
gold.
Cadd9          G          Dsus4 
You keep yours hidden and all 
      G
mine is sold.

Cadd9        G           Dsus4   
You tell the truth and I lie and I 
  G
barter,
      Cadd9       G         Dsus4
And I drink and I cry and I pass 
       G
out at night.

[Break]
Cadd9 / G / Dsus4 / G
(For the last bar, hold the G, and 
hammer each beat from the 2nd to 3rd
 fret on the low E.)

[Verse]
Cadd9       G              Dsus4
I've always cheated though I've 
      G
never stolen.
Cadd9       G               
I've wanted things that you 
Dsus4       G
ain't never thought of.
   Cadd9      G           
So lay your respects at the 
  Dsus4       G
gamb-a-ling score
     Cadd9      G           Dsus4
Where I won the battle, but I 
      G
lost the war.
Cadd9       G            Dsus4  
They always told me when death 
       G
came my sins would be
Cadd9        G               
Cast out, forgotten, laid to 
Dsus4        G
rest with my body.
Cadd9      G               Dsus4
Pay your respects to that old 
           G
church house door
     Cadd9      G           Dsus4
Where I won the battle, but I 
      G
lost the war.
