		 \______/ (4 beats) 

|E<1>			    
|<2> Four and twenty years ago, I come into this life,
|<3>		    
|<4> the son of a woman and a man who lived in strife.
|G<5> <6> 
|A<7> He was tired of bein' poor, 
|G<5>	       
<6> 
|A<7> and he wasn't into sellin' door to door, 
|G<5>		   <6> 
|A<7> 
|<8> and he worked like the devil to be more.

		
A different kind of poverty now upsets me so;
night after sleepless night, I walk the floor and I want to know, why am I so alone? 
Where is my woman, can I bring her home? 
Have I driven her away? Is she gone? 
Morning comes the sunrise and I'm driven to my bed.
I see it is empty and there's devils in my head.	
I embrace the many-colored beast.		
I grow weary of the torment can there be no peace?
And I find myself just wishing that my life would simply cease.
