     EmI've (022000@1)always been a religious man,
     AI've (x02220@1)always been a religious man
              EmBut (022000@1)I met the banker and it felt like sin
   A (x02220@1)               EmHe (022000@1)turned my bailout down
    EmThe (022000@1)Banker Man, he let into me
    ALet (x02220@1)into me, let into me
    EmThe (022000@1)Banker Man, he let into me
    A (x02220@1)             EmAnd (022000@1)spread my name around
EmHe (022000@1)thinks I ain't got a lick of sense
         A'Cause (x02220@1)I talk slow and my money's spent
       EmNow, (022000@1)I ain't the type to hold it against
       A (x02220@1)                EmBut (022000@1)he better stay off my farm
       Em'Cause (022000@1)it was my Daddy's and his Daddy's before
        AAnd (x02220@1)his Daddy's before and his Daddy's before
EmFive (022000@1)generations and an unlocked door
      A (x02220@1)            EmAnd (022000@1)a loaded burglar alarm.

EmHouse (022000@1)has stood through five tornadoes,
ADroughts, (x02220@1)floods, and five tornadoes.
    EmI'd (022000@1)rather wrestle an alligator
        A (x02220@1)               EmThan (022000@1)to face the Banker's scorn
       Em'Cause (022000@1)he won't even look me in the eye
        AHe (x02220@1)just takes my land and apologize,
     EmWith (022000@1)pen, paper, and a friendly smile
   A (x02220@1)              EmHe (022000@1)says the deed is done.
    EmThe (022000@1)sound you hear is my Daddy spinning
    AThe (x02220@1)sound you hear is my Daddy spinning
    EmThe (022000@1)sound you hear is my Daddy spinning
     A (x02220@1)             EmOver (022000@1)what the Banker done.
