The Battle And The War

Cadd9 / G / Dsus4 / G Cadd9 G Dsus4 G When I am buried, don't visit my grave. Cadd9 G Dsus4 G God cannot save me from the sins I've embraced. Cadd9 G Dsus4 G Pay your respects to that old liquor store Cadd9 G Dsus4 G Where I won the battle, but I lost the war. Cadd9 G Dsus4 G You mine for silver and I pan for gold. Cadd9 G Dsus4 G You keep yours hidden and all mine is sold. Cadd9 G Dsus4 G You tell the truth and I lie and I barter, Cadd9 G Dsus4 G And I drink and I cry and I pass out at night. Cadd9 / G / Dsus4 / G (For the last bar, hold the G and hammer each beat from the 2nd to 3rd fret on the low E) Cadd9 G Dsus4 G I've always cheated though I've never stolen. Cadd9 G Dsus4 G I've wanted things that you ain't never thought of. Cadd9 G Dsus4 G So lay your respects at the gamb-a-ling score Cadd9 G Dsus4 G Where I won the battle, but I lost the war. Cadd9 G Dsus4 G They always told me when death came my sins would be Cadd9 G Dsus4 G Cast out, forgotten, laid to rest with my body. Cadd9 G Dsus4 G Pay your respects to that old church house door Cadd9 G Dsus4 G Where I won the battle, but I lost the war.
