They Wont Have Me

Dm            A
   They won't have me but I
Em
   Love this place
Dm                   A
   The rural life is broken and
    Em
The farmlands gone to chaff
Dm              A
   My hands are idle and my
Em
   Mind needs rest
Dm          A
Toil of the decent
        Em
And the sleep of the best

[Verse 2]
Dm          A
   I sit in diners with
Em
   All the old men and they
Dm              A
   They talk of work
           Em
Cause it's all they ever did
     Dm                   A
They gave their hearts to Jesus and got
Em
   Serious and they
Dm               A
   Gave up their drinking and they
Em
   Worked for this
        Bm F#m G G
Nothing
        Bm F#m G G
Nothing

[Chorus]
         F#m              Bm
And it's all this love to offer
    A                G
And all this love to waste
    F#m              Bm
And all this love to offer
    A                G
And all this love to waste

[Verse 3]
Dm              A
Lame dog on the highway where
    Em
The old road used to be now
Dm            A
You know what divides us is just a
Em
Difference someone made
    Dm                A
Now some got tired of trying and
          Em
Some were just to scared to stay but we
Dm                A
Gave ourselves to nothing and we
Em
   Let 'em have their day

[Bridge]
    Em                 F#m
Now who's gonna do the planting
    Bm          A        G
And who's gonna pray for rain
    Em                   F#m
And who's gonna keep the farmland from the
Bm    A      G
Sub-division man
Bm         F#m
   Nothing
G          G
   Nothing
Bm         F#m
   Nothing
G          G
   Nothing

[Outro]
         F#m              Bm
And it's all this love to offer
    A                G
And all this love to waste
