Devil Makes Three - Tow tab by Valentino Garosi Capo on third Em Am Someone left a child and did not even care Em B7 Before the first shots of the battle here had even pierced the air Em Am Yes, they run now like them children to those arms of mother earth Em B7 Trying to pretend as if there was a day before their very birth CHORUS B7 A But, me I just grab these ropes that me and mine have left behind C B7 And I stare up to that mountain that I know I got to climb Em Am I keep towin that line Mmmmmm Em B7 I keep towin that line Mmmmmm Em Am But,down in basements choked with smoke child of the past Em B7 All them dreams come up for air round here but they can only gasp Em Am All them old men they sit staring as life slips out of their grips Em B7 Only to fall and disappear beyond their cracked old fingertips REPEAT CHORUS BREAK Em / Am / Em / B7 / B7 / A / C / B7 Em Am I keep towin that line Mmmmmm Em B7 I keep towin that line Mmmmmm Em Am But down in ditches by that road I call my own Em B7 All of you come a cussin' now all and all just throwing stones Em Am Yes they're big men now to settle down and life's so stale and cold Em B7 As if I could spend my life the way they do just as they're told B7 A So if you should find me living low when the miles have passed me by C B7 And it seems that I have left now all that I could love behind Em Am I'm just towin that line Mmmmmm Em B7 I'm just towin that line Mmmmmm
