Living In The Circle

A D A A E A A D A Raggy Doll in my scarecrow jeans, E A Cold and thin as the cracks in the sidewalk. A D Pretty smile as big as you please, A E A And a heart that's made to match. A D A Left home with a lucky charm, E A A dollar coin and a prayer from her Grandma. A D Pray the lord that you'll work hard, A E A and the coin will find its way back. A E Hey, living in the circle, A D A E One more time like you did it before. A E Hey, living in the circle, A D E A Round and round on the fall of a dollar. A D A Gravel roads and a patch work tent, E A Every step a trial for the innocent. A D Lord knows it was hard not to bend, A E A But she was true to her grandma. A D A She said 'It's a road where the brambles grow, E A toss a coin for the mountain and snow. A D The devil's curse is the path you don't know, A E A You better trust in the Lord.' B E B Gave her heart to a circus Joe, Fm B Her babies raised on beans and a tight rope. E B Never needed to beg nor borrow no, Fm B She had her faith in the Lord. E She said 'Yesterday's another place, D Tomorrows far away, E Today is a turn of the coin, D E Heads you win, tails you win again.' A D A Read the words on her Grandmas grave, E A In God we trust, Hands of faith. A D The lesson learnt and the coin returns A E A The circle stays unbroken.
