[Gm]
Some people say a man is made out of [F#m] mud
[Gm] A poor man is made out of muscle [D] and gut
[Gm] Muscle and blood, [A] skin and bone
[D] A man [C#] is weak [D] and a man is drunk
[Gm] Since king and money [D] you get
[Gm] Another day older and deeper and dead
And even though you call me [A] a zock and goo
I owe [F#m] my suit to [F] the [G] company's jewel
I [Gm] was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
I picked up a shovel and walked to [D] a mine
I [Gm] rode sixteen times, [A] I'm now a man I'm cool
And I spawned [C#] four sins, bless [F#m] my soul
[Gm] I rode sixteen times, I'm running again
Another day older and deeper and dead
And even though you call [A] me a zock and goo
[G] I owe my suit to the company's jewel
[F#m] [G] If you see [Gm] me come to the other [D] side
[Gm] A lot of men are dead, a lot of men are dying
I want to survive, [A] the others still help the ride
But no one will get you, never left among [Gm] these heroes
Again, another day older and deeper and dead
And even though you call me [Cm] a zock and goo
[G] I owe my suit to the company's jewel
I was born [Gm] one morning, it was just a dream
A fight in the cover of a little [D] game
I [Gm] was raised in a king's way
[A] But no mama lion kid or high tomb boy could make me
Walk [Gm] the line, real sins ain't done
And one day [G] you'll get [Gm] another day older and deeper and [D] dead
And [Gm] even though you call me [A] a zock [Cm] and goo
I owe my [C#] suit [D] to the company's jewel
Some people say a man is made out of [F#m] mud
[Gm] A poor man is made out of muscle [D] and gut
[Gm] Muscle and blood, [A] skin and bone
[D] A man [C#] is weak [D] and a man is drunk
[Gm] Since king and money [D] you get

[Gm] A lot of men are dead, a lot of men are dying
I want to survive, [A] the others still help the ride
But no one will get you, never left among [Gm] these heroes
Again, another day older and deeper and dead
And even though you call me [Cm] a zock and goo

I [Gm] was raised in a king's way
[A] But no mama lion kid or high tomb boy could make me
Walk [Gm] the line, real sins ain't done
And one day [G] you'll get [Gm] another day older and deeper and [D] dead
And [Gm] even though you call me [A] a zock [Cm] and goo
I owe my [C#] suit [D] to the company's jewel
