[Verse]
Em Yeah I was feeling on my way
I was twelve years old Em Walking underneath
a blanket of West Virginia coal Em I walked right by
a No Trespass sign Em Yeah the grass loooked greener
'cross the property line [Verse]
Em I told myself that
G
I would not shoot D And if anybody asked
A
I took the scenic route Em My hands started shaking,
I let a round go G Am From the .223 polk stock powder load Em Bye bye [Verse]
Em That I was born this way,
who am I to be ashamed G It's the Indian blood in
A
the poor man's veins Am I did it that time and
I did it again Em Started selling meat to
A
all of my friends Em And they'd buy Em Yeah, they'd buy [Chorus]
Em 'Cause there's a whole lotta people
G
who like the wild food D But they can't go hunting
A
'cause the monthly bills are due Em The farmers grow bread and
the kitchen cooks soup D So I fed a lot of purpose with
A
the deeds that I do Em In the trees I found
my sweet by and by D A By and by Em By and by [Verse]
Em Well I had to put
G
the fear in the DNR D So I slashed their tires
A
when they were parked Em The whole administration
G
they had done got scared D A But a young new trooper caught a wild hair Em G He pulled me over with a hefty load D But the law don't
own the mountain A Em Bsus4 So I left him in the smo-o-oke [Verse]
Em Well the doctors and the lawyers G Em They're good at what they do D But a man needs a license Am Just to hunt for some food Em The farmers grow bread and
the kitchen cooks soup D But the Lord gave me a purpose
Am
with the deeds that I do Em G Back in the trees I found my sweet Em D By and by-y A Em G Em D Am In the sweet by and byyyyy Em Em D A (In the sweet by and by) [Break]
Em The Good Book says
there's a time to heal Em A time to build, a time to kill Em Our Father was a carpenter He blessed me with
Em
the same steady hand Em And I got time to kill [Chorus]
Em 'Cause there's a whole lotta people
G
who like the wild food D But they can't go hunting
A
'cause the monthly bills are due Em The farmers grow bread and
the kitchen cooks soup D So I fed a lot of purpose with
Em
the deeds that I do Em Back in the trees
G
I found my sweet Em D Am By and by-y Em Em D A E My sweet by and by
