Lyrics
D G#madd13
I've been playing guitar, singing out of key
A7 D
It turns out everyone is better than me
Em F#m G A
No one likes the way I smack my 6 string
Em F#m G A
I never give up I keep on doing my thing
D G#madd13
My first wife said PLEASE find something else to do
A7 D
The second one said there's something wrong with you
Em F#m G A
She divorced me right on cue so
Em F#m G A
I'm waiting to see what number three will do.
F C
But it's good dirt I been growing in
F C
Even if the pickings been looking real thin
F A Bb C
Sooner or later my ship will come in
F A Bb D
And I'll be reaping what I've sown again
Am C
No one ever says Play It Again Sam
Am F G
It's okay "cause my name is Graham
D G#madd13
Turns out wasn't bad as I thought
A7 D
Found myself a band and a little spot
Em F#m G A
A stripper pole In the middle of the stage
Em F#m G A
Blues to the smoke through the purple haze
F C
But it's good dirt I been growing in
F C
Even if the pickings been looking real thin
F A Bb C
Sooner or later my ship will come in
F A Bb G#madd13
And I'll be reaping what I've sown again
Am Fmaj
Looking for Redemption at the end of the Road
Amin A D
Looking for Redemption at the end of the Road
