I was born with a thorn in my shoe.
[C]
[F]
[C] [D]
[Am] [Fm] [D] [C]
[Am] [Em] [F] [E] [C] I was barely grown when I left my home
[F] For the land where the [C] evergreens grow
[F] And deep inside [C] was a voice that kept [Dm] saying,
I told you so
[G] The [F] good friends I had were [C] few
And [F] my skies [C] weren't always blue
Some [D] nights I slept in the corn
[Fm] Because I was born with a thorn [C] in my shoe
[Em] [Am] [F] [Em] [C] Though the sun was hot
[Em] And the [C] handouts I got [F] were few and far [C] between
[F] Still I will trade [C] all the memories I've [Dm] made
For the places I've been
[G] For [F] I love each field of [Em] hay
And [F] each dusty mountain [Em] way
I [D] love the blue the more
[Fm] Because I was born with a [C] thorn in my shoe
As

[C] [F]
[Am] [C] [D]
[Dm] [C] [G] [F]
[Em] [C] [F]
[Em] [C] [D]
[Fm] [C]
the years rolled by
[Em] And my soul ran dry
[F] From my restless [C] wandering ways
[F] The older I got I [C] started thinking a lot
[Dm] About the price you pay
[G] But [F] the urge to settle [Em] down
[F] Never seemed to come [Em] [C] around
I [D] guess the good Lord knew
That [Fm] I was born with a thorn [C] in my shoe
[Am] I [D] guess the good Lord knew
[Fm] That I was born with a thorn [C] in my shoe
[N] Thank you
[G] [A]
[F#m] [A] [F#m] [A]
[F#m] [A] [F#m] [A]
[F#m] It'd be neat that you're honestly thinking [Bm]
of leaving me
I thought that [E] leaving really wasn't even [A] on your [F#m] [A] mind
[F#m]
[A] Drowning [F#m] in tears
Drawing constantly [Bm] nearer to this dream
Just [E] biding my time
While the flow from the wine [A] makes a fool [E] of [A] me
[G#m]
[E] Over and over [A] I practice every day
[D] What to say [C#m] when I see you
When [B] I see you my tears get in [E] the way
I [A] spend my nights thinking of things I would have [Bm] to say to you
That stop [E] me from going
That keep you from knowing [A] how I feel
Now the light says goodbye
To the night angel [Bm] face I see
I'll just be [E] biding my time
While the flow from the wine [A] makes a fool of me

But [B] when I see you my tears [E] get in the way
I [A]
spend my nights thinking of things I might have [Bm] to say to you
That stop [E] me from going
That keep you from [A] knowing how I [F#m] feel
[A] [E] [A] Now the light says goodbye
