Waylon Jennings - Broken Promise Land Ukulele

INTRO: F F F F 
 

VERSE: 
            F             G 
There's a bible on the dresser, 
        F                                                    
and a sign hung on the door, 
        G           F                  F                                
and a woman in my arms that shouldn't be. 
             F             G 
I'm to the point of no returning, 
      F  
but I've been here before. 
         G               F           F 
This cheating life is nothing new to me. 
           F              G 
There's someone to be considered, 
   F 
I call her on the phone, 
             G              F              F 
and say the job is taking longer than I planned 
         F                G 
I dont have the heart to tell her, 
           F 
that a stranger turned me on, 
           G              F             F 
and I'm heading for the broken promise land 

Refrão 
    F                  F 
Tonight I'm crossing over  
           G                 Dm 
and I'll reach the cheating side 
          F                G           Dm 
and I'll hate myself for coming here again. 
F                                   F 
Where the streets are paved with misery 
      G                 Dm 
and lives are built on lies, 
      F                    G            F 
the place they call the broken promise land

 
VERSE: 
            F                 G 
Found the note left on the dresser, 
         F 
and the key left in the door, 
             G                 F             F 
and on the floor I found her golden wedding band. 
            F             G             
Guess she finally had to tell me,  
            F              
she's not waiting here no more, 
          G               F              F 
and she heading for the broken promise land. 
 
Chorus: 
F                       F 
Tonight she's crossing over  
             G                 Dm 
and she'll reach the cheating side 
F                          G              Dm 
and I'll hate myself for giving her the chance. 
              F                     F 
'Cause the streets are paved with misery 
      G                 Dm 
and lives are built on lies. 
      F                   G              F 
The place they call the broken promise land. 
F                            F 
...and its more than I can stand.
