Chords for Charlie Parr - 1922

_ _ Thanks again for coming down to Ed's tonight.
I have this song I wrote about my [Bb] dad. _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [A] _
[D] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Well _ I worked on something, couldn't save a cent
I gave all of my money to the government
I don't know quite how it got spent
But the bank's [A] coming from my D
[E] Man at [A] the mill can't see
[D] They're picking [A] my wheat for free
Ain't that the way it is?
_ _ _ _ Well I cut out down the gravel road
[D] And I traded my stock [A] for a V8 Ford
My dad fought ten nine on a floorboard
[D] And the tire rolled down [A] to me
That gasoline ain't free
And [D] this clutch is [A] wearing down my knee
But ain't that the way it is? _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ [A] _ [D] _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _
[A] _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I met a man and woman down in St.
Paul
I ain't a minimal, but I met a Paul
Brother told me that's my job
I talked to his sister again
Told me I wouldn't win
Now there's blood running out of my chin
Ain't that the way it is? _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I found a line on the bottom floor
And I hope [A] this morning my head was sore
Back in Samta once more
And [D] a barman [A] got that call
Dad wouldn't know my part
[Gbm] I'll leave it down [A] at the bar and say
Ain't that the way it is? _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _
[A] _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And I hitched me a ride on the way back home
[D] And I got me a job [A] on a family farm
But times are hard here and I can't roam
[D] And I [A] ain't got nothing more
[E] But I owe that [A] company store all [D] the roads
Run good [A] for sure
[E] But ain't that the way [A] it is?
_ _ _ Well I worked all summer, couldn't save a cent
I [D] gave all of [A] my money to the government
Oh I don't know quite how I got bled
But the [D] pain's coming [A] from my deed
Man, if the mill can't [D] see
Let me get my [A] paper printed
Ain't that the way it is? _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
