Everybodys Hurting

Esus 020200
E7   020100

Am                                walk up     C
Been walking the dirt floor, my eyes are open Lord
          F                    Esus        E7
Where did you go, have we just left you bored?
Am                 C
On down this unholy well we rolled
         F              Esus        E7
Stirring barrels in hell to be warm


             F                  C
It's further back down than the high ground
               G               C
Ain't milk and honey, we're movin' round
     F            C
Only one thing is certain
       G
That's everybody
            Am
Everybody's hurting


Am                                walk up     C
We come from the country where the rain follows plow
         F                    Esus        E7
And the evenings are cold enough to pluck your feathers out
Am                 C                    F
We hear your engines roaring deep and loud
                          Esus        E7
As we work the mules on this bludgeoned ground


      F                  C
We've hunted these hills dry
              G               C
We've long outlasted the winter and our last wood pile
     F            C
Only one thing is certain
       G
That's everybody
            Am
Everybody's hurting


F                        F
Through rolling acres of boneyards we drift
    C                         C
Our spirits' been broken been splintered to bits
F                              F
Faith is believing what you see ain't so
Esus                                        E7
My sweetheart we've got to learn to live with these ghosts
Esus               E7
They can't leave; we can't

F   C   G   C
go............
F   C   G   Am


We'd sell this valley if we could go north
Where the sun sets dripping buckets of gold
Through snow topped thunderheads and rows of wind clouds
Coming down this mountain how sweet salvation sounds


With our hands out like lowly pilgrims
As the old men death salute the young ones in
Already know what we're just learning
That's everybody
Everybody's hurting
