Ground Me

B E B E B I was a sailor E Upon the open sea B I never knew much E Bout sailing anyway B I was a farmer E On the fields of Forrest green B My hair was longer E My body it was weak B E Yeah I was only 17 B When my wife she left me N.C. E For another man B C#m E It’s when my life it left me B E Ground me in the sand B I was a blacksmith E Swung my hammer high B Made a sword to fight with E A sword so I can die B Yeah a sword so I can die E Not for my country And not for peace B E But for nothing at all B When my guitarist left me N.C. E For another band B C#m E The music only deafened me B Ground me in the sand B C#m E You ever sing so hard that your body hurts B C#m E Or bury your own brother in the dirt B C#m You know that simple sort of sadness E F# G#m When you lose your favorite shirt B E I can’t tell you why I’m still Why I’m still seeking thrills B I guess it’s what God wills E I guess it’s what God wills B C#m E You ever sing so hard that you get the chills B C#m E I found only life brings life and that bottom kills B C#m That’s why I sing because I love it E F# G#m Not to pay the bills B E N.C. B Not that I know anything about anything or anything at all E I hope there’s something waiting at the bottom of our fall N.C. Something like an ocean
