Chuck Ragan - For Goodness Sake Ukulele

Intro:  E - H - Cis - A - H - E 

VERSE 1:
E
Simple backbeats seem to soothe me. If i could hold them i would let see,
A
Take some rest as if not wicked. And walk around enjoying silence.
   E
A world away, elders gather. Speaking their tongue and hardly falter.
        A
With words of bound, joy and grievance, Simple songs, work and penance.

PRE-CHORUS
    H
To drawn hate like a stone,
 Cis
walk the path overgrown.
         A
Never lie awake,
              H
And so for goodness sake.

VERSE 2:
E
Well down the road the deer are crossing, And the grass is greener where they're walking.
A
Rattling beasts and heavy movements, Mark them now son before we lose them.
E
Bear your arms ever so wisely, Or burn them all if you have no need.
       A
And dress to kill but kill so kindly. A hollow heart's too weak and weary.

PRE-CHORUS
    H
To drawn hate like a stone,
 Cis
walk the path overgrown.
         A
Never lie awake,
              H
And so for goodness sake.

CHORUS:
       Cis                     A
Now call me crazy but all the old ways,
    E                      H
Of living simple are simply fading.
      Cis               A                    E
And all we buy is time before we die,
          H                 E
lay on down desensitized.

VERSE 3:
E (let ring)
A wise old friend recently told me: "An idle mind is the devils playpen".
A (let ring)
Mind the gaps and watch them closely. Spread the love but choose your friends wisely.
E
Love yourself to love your family, And find the difference between wants and needs.
     A
Be sure to stop and count your blessings, Smell the roses and fight for something.

PRE-CHORUS
    H
To drawn hate like a stone,
 Cis
walk the path overgrown.
         A
Never lie awake,
              H
And so for goodness sake.

CHORUS:
       Cis                     A
Now call me crazy but all the old ways,
    E                      H
Of living simple are simply fading.

      Cis               A                    E
And all we buy is time before we die,
          H                 H
lay on down 

      Cis               A                    E
And all we buy is time before we die,
          H                 E
lay on down desensitized.
