By My Side
By JJ Grey and Mofro
use an open E chord trilling the G note on sixth string
for all E Chords
EThere, there's a Etime
and a Gplace for eAverythingE  
Hear these foolEs tell you who you Eare
but you dGon't hear a Adoggone thEing
And maybe that's Ewhy, why I lEove you
Maybe that's Ghow I Afeel your painE  
Cuz we're Eboth falling downE  
and there Gain't nobAody to blamEe
Chorus
GI aAin't going Enowhere  CI aDin't gonna hEide
GI aAin't going Enowhere  Cwith Dyou by my siEde
There, tEhere's a road
that we wGalk but cAannot seeE  
Feel its spEirit come and Ego
make me wGhole shape me Aout of cElay
Now you Eknow just how fEeeble
and how Gweak a Aman can Ebe
And still you're Epleased,
pEleased to be with me Gany aAnywayE

I ain't going nowhere I ain't gonna hide

G A E C D E

I ain't going nowhere with you by my side

There, there's a road

Feel its spirit come and go

And still you're pleased,

pleased to be with me any anyway
