Child, please don't worry 
A5                                             E5
There will be plenty of time now to find your eye
A5
He's been calling her to bed 
C#minor
To come make a home and start again 
B5                     A5                 E5
Well she ain't coming back and you know why  


E5
It's a hard life we're living 
A5                                             E5
I want to lay down here right next to you and die 
A5                                                          
But it ain't no family stone that's gonna 
C#minor
bring your baby home 
               B5               A5        E5
Well she ain't coming back and you know why  


A5
We've been praying out on gravel roads 
A5                                E5
You know we ain't gonna waste no time 
A5
Parading our hearts from door to door 
A5                            E5
Well we ain't gonna waste no time 


B5
It's a high lonesome road to hold 
B5
But I'm not going to change at all 
B5                                                                           
No you ain't gonna see me 
B5                       E5
Hang this here head and cry  



A5 , E5 , B5 , A5 , E5


E5
Child, don't get behind me 
A5                                   E5
It's hard enough to fake but lord I try 
A5                                                       
I'd hate to miss my chance to use the 
C#minor
phone and make amends 
     B5                A5               E5
Well she ain't coming back so I don't try   


A5
