A Good Thing

Am Daddy said that tears are only wasted piss Fmaj7 E7 Whiskey breath, spillin' over, crackin' lips Am Then Mama said "You two look so much alike" Fmaj7 E7 Like it's a good thing Am Daddy said that bleeding hands can make a man Fmaj7 E7 And then he said that no two men can make amends Am Then Mama chimed in like a prayer and said "Amen" Fmaj7 E7 Like it's a good thing, it's not a good thing Am Brother said that boots were made for out in the field Fmaj7 E7 Unless an enemy should make their throat revealed Am And Sister scrubbed off all the blood and smiled at him Fmaj7 E7 "You've done a good thing, such a good thing" Am I learned my lesson so I head out under pale light of moon Fmaj7 E7 Find a man who's done me wrong and won't be missed but, God, is still Am Push his chest Am Back on sand Am Raise the dagger in my hand Fmaj7 Plunge it down Fmaj7 Pick it up E7 Plunge it - N.C. Agh Am This is birth, in reverse Fmaj7 This is sacred, tell me, how'd I take it worse E7 I feel perfectly fine about it Am Mama you were right Am Me and Daddy look alike Fmaj7 Guess it's a good thing E7 I'm not a good thing N.C. Right?
