Silver Spoon Chords by Eric Bibb

[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I left my home as a young man, still a boy, truth be told.
_ _ _ [F#]
Took my [F#m] guitar, _ [Bm] [A] my troubled [F#m] heart, and hit the road. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I made my way _ across an ocean in search of somewhere to belong.
_ _ Just a young buck _ [B] _ [A] _ and traveling [F#] on.
[F#m] _ _
I _ _ made my home in a north country farm, [F#] at a time when very few people there looked like me.
[F#m] _ _ [F#] I made [A] good friends who were kind to a stranger [B] in [A] his family.
_ [F#] _ _
_ [F#m] _ [F#] _ _ [F#m] _ Some say I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth.
_ People, you know I've paid some dues.
_ _ _ Born to play the guitar [F#] all around the [A] world.
[B] _ [A] Born to sing [G#] these blues.
[F#m] I _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ settled down, got a straight job, played my music on the [F#] side.
_ [F#m] _ Put food on the table, paid the rent, _ [Bm] but [A] I was not satisfied.
_ _ _ _ [F#] On my guitar so [F#m] many times, so many times, it's a shame.
_ But I kept on playing, singing my songs, [Bm] till the people [F#m] knew my name, _ knew my name.
_ _ _ Born with a silver spoon in my mouth.
_ People, I've paid some [F#] dues.
_ [F#m] _ _ [F#] Born to play the guitar [A] _
all around the world.
_ [Bm] Born to [A] sing these blues.
[B] _ [F#m] _ _ [B] Born [A] to sing these blues.
