Capo 3

[Verse]
G Gsus4 G
God blessed some folks with music and what a holy art
G Bm Em D 
Then the devil seen us envious soles and damned the songs in our hearts
C G 
We go through life just like it was planned
Em D G 
Always wondering who we are blessed or damned

[Verse]
G Gsus4 G 
Read about a singer that took home all the awards
G Bm Em D
I guess he's one of the chosen few that's his reward
C G
But there's a troubadour in a beer joint and he's singing to empty chairs and his empty can
Em D G
No it ain't hard to figure out who's blessed or damned

[Chorus]
C D C D
I hope heaven has a place for those of us who lost our way
C D G
And I pray He'll understand and bless the damned

[Chorus/Outro]
C D C D
I hope heaven has a place for those of us who lost our way
C D G
And I pray He'll understand and Bless the damned
C D G
And I pray He'll understand and Bless the damned

[Chorus]
G
Caught, in a camera's eye
C A7
Caught, without an alibi
 G A7 D
A picture's worth a thousand words they say
 G
We're caught in a motel room
 C A7
The tangled sheets smell like sweet perfume
 G D C G
No matter who's at fault, we're caught

[Verse]
G
Now who'd have thought it'd end like this
C
The after glow's such a painfull bliss
 G D
What a web we weave when we practice to decieve
G
We played the game but now we lose
C
Now we're just back street news
 G D C G
Oh my God, what are we gonna do

[Chorus]
G
Caught, in a camera's eye
C A7
Caught, without an alibi
 G A7 D
A picture's worth a thousand words they say
 G
We're caught in a motel room
 C A7
The tangled sheets smell like sweet perfume
 G D C G
No matter who's at fault, we're caught

[Bridge]
A C G
Rumors spread like wildfire in this town
A C
It's too late to change our fate
 D
We'll never live it down

[Chorus]
G
Caught, in a camera's eye
C A7
Caught, without an alibi
 G A7 D
A picture's worth a thousand words they

[Verse]
E
It was July hot in Georgia in 1942 
A
All the men were off to war
 E 
and the women had nothing to do
E 
I was 16 and hungry, lookin? for my first taste of love
 B
When I brought her groceries to her door 
 E
I didn?t know how close I was

 E
Her long blonde hair was flowing, and she smelled like sweet perfume
A
When I laid her groceries down,
 E
she said you don?t have to leave so soon
E 
A woman sure get lonely when her man?s gone off to fight
 B
She reached out for my tremblin? hand,
 E 
As tear drops filled her eyes
 B
And she said....

[Chorus]
E
War is hell on the homefront too
A
God only knows what a woman goes through
B E
She still needs what her man that?s gone can?t do
E 
I can?t fight this fire alone
A 
Stay with me until it?s gone
B E
Ooh, war is hell on the homefront too

*Step up a half-step and play as follows, or simply capo first fret*

[Verse]
 F 
It was July hot inside me as she led me to the bedroom door
 A#
The satin sheets and pleasure
 F 
I never k

[Intro]
D C(add9)
People think its nearly the end of time,
 G/D D
'Cause we're all together now we drawn the line.
 D C(add9)
Our flag is up, the stock market's down,
 G/D D
But now we're united from the country to the town.
D C(add9)
We live back in the woods you see,
G/D D 
Big city problems never bothered me.
 D C(add9)
But the world has changed, and so have I,
 G/D D
And America can survive.
 C(add9) G/D D 
America will survive.


 D C(add9)
We can plow our fields all day long,
 G/D D 
We can catch catfish from dusk 'til dawn.
 D C(add9)
Yeah, we've toughed it out a time or two,
 G/D D
Ain't too many things these boys and girls can't do.
 D C(add9)
We grow good ole tomatoes, we got home town pride,
 G/D D
And America can survive.
 C(add9) G/D D

 G
Oh, you can't scare us out, you can't make 'em run,

Women, boys and girls with freedom and fun.

Capo 2

[Intro]
D-G-D-Bm-A-D

[Verse]
D G D
I said it was over, I said we were through
 Bm Em G
I said when I left, I was done loving you
 D G D 
But I'm fighting a feelin' that can't be denied
 Bm A D
So forget what I told you, the truth is I lied
D G D
I know you weren't expectin', this visit from me
 Bm Em A 
With my hat in my hand and my heart on my sleeve
 D G D
I've stopped my pretendin' and I've swallowed my pride
 Bm A D
I came here to tell ya, the truth is I lied

[Verse]
D G D
The truth is I'm just not, as strong as I thought 
 Bm A D 
This battle is harder, than any war that we've fought
 G D Bm
I said I could just push, your memory aside
 D Bm A D 
And I meant when I said it, but the truth is I lied
 C G D 
Is it asking to much to, forget and forgive
 C Bm A
Dying for your love, is no way to live
 G D
And the truth is I'm just not, as strong as I thought
 Bm A 
This battle is harder than any war that we've fought
 G D Bm
I said I could just push, your memory aside
 D B

[Verse]
 E
The day that we were married
A
The people shook my hand
 B7
They said we two were now as one
 A E
And me a lucky man
 E
From that day on that's all I ever
A
Wanted us to be
B7
Until the day you told me
 E
We'd be three

[Verse]
 E 
Then we began the waiting
 A
And made our little jokes
B7
You couldn't look at monkeys
 A E
And I gave up my smokes
E 
You prophasized he'd be a boy
A 
And look a lot like me
B7
Lord but I was proud
 E
That we'd be three

[Verse]
 F 
One night the endless days of waiting
Bb
All came to an end
 C7
You woke me from my restless sleep
 Bb F
And said we must go in
 F
The sun won't rise on any day
Bb
Again like that for me
C7
The day had come when
 F
Two would soon be three
 F
I smoked an endless burning chain 
Bb
Of bitter cigarettes
C7
I must have walked a thousand miles
 Bb F
With fear in every step 

[Verse]
F
Two long days and two long nights
Bb
That I refused to sleep
C7
And they were losing hope
 F
That we'd be three 
 F#
The preacher came,
