Eds Blues Survival

Otis Gibbs E There’s songs that the rabbits and the coyotes sing A There’s songs that you remember from your childhood days B A There’s songs that travel across the wind til your knees grow weary and your head goes dim E A I learned that song when I was just a kid and I carried it with me but I kept it hid B A Like the smell of switchgrass after the rain, too young to know better and too old to change C# A E B Whoa survival whoa survival is like a wheel that never turns C# A E B whoa survival whoa survival waiting on the words E There’s a joy that some men will never know A Like setting fire to a billboard and watching the glow B A As the wind blows through you and feeds the flames, too young to know better and too old to change C# A E B Whoa survival whoa survival it’s like a wheel that never turns C# A E B A E B A Whoa survival whoa survival waiting on the words E Abby laid in his cabin in pain for days A He bled out on his couch and he passed away B A His friends threw his body in a pickup truck drove him out into the desert under the mesas and ruts E A And they dug a hole beneath the Arizona stars and they covered him up in dirt, rocks and scars B A set fire to the couch and set it on his grave, too young to know better and too old to change C# A E B Whoa survival whoa survival it’s like a wheel that never turns C# A E B whoa survival whoa survival waiting on the words E There’s songs that the coyotes and the rabbits sing
