capo 3 — sounds 3 semitones higherIntro
(Hammering on and off the 2nd fret G string)
Verse 1
Daddy worked like a mule mining Pike County coal
He fucked up his back, he couldn't work anymore
He said one of these days you'll get out of these hills
Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills
Verse 2
See the ways of this world will just bring you to tears
Keep the Lord in your heart, you'll have nothing to fear
Live the best that you can and don't lie and don't steal
Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills
Chorus
Well daddy I've been trying, I just can't catch a break
There's too much in this world that I can't seem to shake
But I remember your words Lord, they bring me to chills
Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills
(Play the verse progression without words one time)
Verse 3
Keep in mind that a man's just as good as his word
It takes twice as long to build bridges you burn
And there is hurt you can cause time alone cannot heal
Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills
Chorus
Well daddy I've been trying, I just can't catch a break
There's too much in this world that I can't seem to shake
But I remember your words Lord, they bring me to chills
Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills
Keep your nose on the grindstone...
