DmJesus (xx0231@1)was a carpenter He died nailed to a wooden cross.
Am (x02210@1) Bb (x1333x@1) DmIrony (xx0231@1)oh irony upon Me it is never lost.
DmGather (xx0231@1)'round now people, I'm here to tell a tale
AmAbout (x02210@1)a man who walks among You, a man You each know well.
DmMy (xx0231@1)name is Simon Keeper I had a wife and three grown kids,
Am (x02210@1) Bb (x1333x@1) DmA (xx0231@1)job in the towers cooking the books for the shills that grease the skids.
Dm (xx0231@1) AmIrony (x02210@1)oh irony, you are a bitter fruit to eat.
Bb (x1333x@1) C (x32010@1) DmStripped (xx0231@1)of all your beauty Your flesh is none too sweet.
DmNow (xx0231@1)I ain't the most honest man that ever worked a skim.
AmI (x02210@1)was caught with My hand in the cookie jar and brother that was it.
DmFifty-four (xx0231@1)and a big black mark upon My résumé,
Am (x02210@1) Bb (x1333x@1) DmI (xx0231@1)found selling off what You don't own might earn You the time of day.
DmNext (xx0231@1)it was a letter from My darling one,
Am"what's (x02210@1)Yours is mine, what's mine is mine", Sealed with a hug and kiss.
DmOne (xx0231@1)by one My children closed their lives to Me.
Am (x02210@1) Bb (x1333x@1) DmLesson (xx0231@1)learned on Daddy's knee, "give no quarter to the weak".
Dm (xx0231@1) AmIrony (x02210@1)oh irony, You are the polar seed of truth,
Bb (x1333x@1) C (x32010@1) Dm (xx0231@1)
You grow upon the open plain the faithful you uproot.
DmKicked (xx0231@1)around 'bout a year living hand to mouth,
AmThen (x02210@1)one day tryin' to bum a light. I felt My will give out.
DmSat (xx0231@1)right down on the corner, started prayin' a little too loud.
Am (x02210@1) Bb (x1333x@1) DmLeft (xx0231@1)My troubles far behind When I saw them emptying their pockets out.
Dm (xx0231@1) Am (x02210@1)Irony oh irony, You are a treacherous son of a bitch,
Bb (x1333x@1) C (x32010@1) DmPretending (xx0231@1)not to care about the heights You'll never reach.
DmNow (xx0231@1)I won't start in preaching 'bout reaping what You sow,
AmThis (x02210@1)is the story of a half-hearted man, Half honest as they go.
DmBut (xx0231@1)sit on down and rest a spell I've got another tale to tell.
Am (x02210@1) Bb (x1333x@1) DmAbout (xx0231@1)a lost young man in a far away land whose life is just too easy to sell.
Dm (xx0231@1) AmJesus (x02210@1)was a carpenter He died nailed to a wooden cross.
Bb (x1333x@1) C (x32010@1) DmIrony (xx0231@1)oh irony upon Me it is never lost.
DmJesus (xx0231@1)was a carpenter He died nailed to a wooden cross.
Am (x02210@1) Bb (x1333x@1) C (x32010@1) DmIrony (xx0231@1)oh irony upon Me it's never lost.
