[Intro]      Am

              Am                                                                     G                  Am                                                             G
Well, the rain was a-falling and the ground turned to mud. I was watching all the people Running from the flood
.       Am                                                              G                   Em                   Am                Em          Am
So I started to pray? though I ain?t no praying man, For the Lord to come a-helpin' knowing He'd understand.



[Chorus]
  G               G/F#               Em                             C                    C\B           Am
Deliver your children to the good, good life. Give 'em peace and shelter and fork and knife.
G               G/F#               Em                           G      G/F#    Em        C     C\B           Am
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night. And if a thing goes wrong, you'd better make it right.




         Am                                                                 G                 Am                                                       G
Well, I had me a woman. She was good and clean. She spent all the day with the washing machine.
       Am                                                     G                 Em                 Am    Em    Am
But when it came to lovin' she was never around: she was out getting dirty all over town.








[Chorus]
  G             G/F#             Em                         C                      C\B         Am
Deliver your children to the good, good life. Give 'em peace and shelter and fork and knife.
    G                G/F#          Em                       G     G/F#    Em     C          C/B  Am
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night. And if a thing goes wrong, you'd better make it right.





           Dm                                                             C          Dm                                       G
 Well, I was low on the money and my truck broke down. I was on my way to the lost and found.
      Dm                                               C            Am        Dm       Am     Dm
So I took it to a dealer. I said, "Make it run. Well I ain't got no money, but I got me a gun."



              Dm                                      C            Dm
I said, "You robbed me before, so I'm robbing you back, and if it don't put you straight, it'll put you on
                G              Dm                           C         Am      Dm        Am       Dm
The Right Well, I ain't no devil and I ain't no saint, but I can tell a dealer by the color of his paint."



[Chorus]
  G             G/F#             Em                         C                      C\B         Am

If you want good eggs, you gotta feed that hen. And if you wanna hear some more,

Well I'll sing it again.
