[INTRO]
[Em] [Am] [C] [Am]
[VERSE I]
[C]Shifting the chair on the [Am]porch for a [C]better position to [Am]enjoy the warmth of the [Em]sun, to keep [Am]warm[G]
[C]Working the needle and [Am]twine. [C]Lost in the furthest r[Am]ecess of the mind.
It is [Em]calm. There is [Am]peace. A c[Em]at on his lap and a [Am]dog at her [G]feet.
[CHORUS]
But [C]oh, the heart of a [G]man. The [Am]secrets they bury wit[F]hin.[G]
[C]Oh the causes that [G]force his poor hand
[Am]Lead to be mislead thus the d[F]eceiving of [G]him. [C][Am][C][Am]
[VERSE II]
It's an [C]item uneasily de[Am]scribed. [C]Misunderstandings our [Am]thoughts by and by.
I'm barely [Em]here if even at [Am]all.[G]
[C]Fear of the misunders[Am]tood invites the [C]violence right in chasing o[Am]ff all the good.
We have [Em]brought it all on our[Am]selves. Led [Em]astray by the words of [Am]somebody [G]else!
[CHORUS II]
But [C]oh, the life of a [G]man. His [Am]head above the water and pushed u[F]nder [G]again
[C]Oh I've seen it [G]one too many times
Its a [Am]test of the spirit verses the [F]health of a [G]mind.
[BRIDGE]
[Dm]Oh....[G]...bring [C]relief to him [C/B]now and the [Am]people he loves.
[Dm]Oh....[G]...I know the [C]feel of the [C/B]feeling but n[Am]ot what's it's called
[Dm]Oh....[G]... oh...[C]...[Am][C][Am]
[CHORUS III]
[C]Oh the will of a [G]man and a[Am]ll his well meaning i[F]ntent.[G]
[C]Oh the thought of it [G]all. As f[Am]ar as we've come there's still [F]further to [G]go... [C]
