WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Sunny Sweeney - Poets Prayer Chords | Ver. 1
[Intro]
G
[Verse]
G
Only time I see my friends
C
Is on the posters in the bar room wall
G
Only time I hear their voice
C
Is in a drunken late-night hotel call
G
See you're out in Houston
C
I'm giggin' in L.A.
G
Maybe we'll cross paths
D G
One of these days
[Verse]
G
This business breaks your heart
C
It's a big old mean machine
G
It'll grind your bones to make your bread
C
And then p**s all over your dreams
G
That ain't why we do this
C
If it was we wouldn't last long
G D G
No, we're all hooked on the power of a song
[Chorus]
C
May our beds be soft
G
Coffee strong and hot
C
May the angels of the blacktop
G D
Keep our souls from getting lost
G
If there's a patron saint of troubadours
C
On the road from here to there
G
Watch over us
D G
That's my three-chord poet's prayer
[Instrumental]
Bm G C G D
[Verse]
G
It's gonna be some real hard nights
C
And some holes in the wall
G
The next night you'll be on top of the world
C
The next morning you might fall
G
Things we miss back home
C
Are never lost on me
G D G
Kids growing up, funerals, anniversaries
[Bridge]
Em
I didn't choose this life
C
This travelin' life chose me
G
I was born to be a gypsy
D
So that's what I'll always be
G
Have a good next show
C
Keep it between the lines
G D G
Know you're always in my heart and on my mind
[Chorus]
C
May our beds be soft
G
Coffee strong and hot
C
May the angels of the blacktop
G D
Keep our souls from getting lost
G
If there's a patron saint of troubadours
C
On the road from here to there
G
Watch over us
D G
That's my three-chord poet's prayer
Watch over my friends
D G
That's my three-chord poet's prayer
