[Intro]
 Em   D   A   Emx2
   Well, I kEmnow how it feeDls Ato be rippEmed from my roots
   And tEmossed into a woDrld AunbendEming.
   EmNot long aDgo AI was bEmitten by the truth
  EmSome folks spend their whDole liAfe pretendEming.
  Now I sDtart each mornin' with the sunAlight by my side
  EmFind another DhighwAay, Emhitch another ride
   And I uDse this six-string like an arAcher wields his bow
   I Cbelieve when the arrow finds its maDrk
   It pierces the soul.
(Chorus)
   EmThree songs for a quGarter each time I oEmpen my case
   EmFour chords and the voGice of a good man fEmallen from grace
   EmNo pity for me misGterD, I'm Emproud to be a drifterG  
   A long sChot from bein' a stAar
   You know, the tiCmes Gain't been eAmasyG  
   For Dme Fand my HAmomelE7ess GuEmitar.
   Now I kEmnow how it fDeels to Abe jEmudged in a glance
   StEmripped of your pDride Aand your pEmassion.
   EmI onDly Aknow that the Emrivers of the soul
   EmRun deeper than biDrthrAight or fEmashion.
   I see you looDk me over, feel the wAeight of your stare
   EmI'm sendin' you a DmessAage but you Emact like you don't care.
   I seDe a ripple, a crEmack in your faAcade
   You know, it reCally don't matter who you think you Dare
   We're the same under God.
(Chorus)
   Am7I thank the Lord above for the giCft He's given me
   EmI'm richer than mGost men
   EmGot a friend in my six-string
   Am7In a world where trust ain't gCot no guarantee
   DIf you ain't got a penny
   Gonna sBing you this song for free, yeah.      Akkorde wie Chorus
(Chorus)
   Oh, I Duse these six-strings like an aArcher wields his bow
   I belCieve when the arrow finds its mDark
   It pierces the soul.

   You know, the tiCmes Gain't been eAmasyG
