Wings - Deliver Your Children

Am G
well , the rain was A – falling and the ground turned to mud
Am D
i was watching all the people running from the flood
Am G
so i started to prayin’ though i ain’t no prayin’ man
Em Am Em Am
for the lord to come a helpin’ knowing he’d understand .

chorus :
G D/F# Em
deliver your children to the good good life
C G/B Am
give ’em peace and shelter and a fork and knife
G D/F# Em
shine a light in the morning and a light at night
G D/F# Em C G/B Am
and if a thing goes wrong you’d better make it right .

Am G
well , i had me a woman , she was good and clean
Am D
she spent all day with the washing machine
Am G
but when it came to lovin’ she was never around
Em Am Em Am
she was out getting dirty all over town .

chorus

Dm C
well , i was low on money and my truck broke down
Dm G
i was on my way to the lost and found
Dm C
so i took it to a dealer , i said make it run
Am Dm Am Dm
well , i ain’t got no money , but i got me a gun .

Dm C
i said you robbed me before so i’m robbing you back
Dm G
and if it don’t put you straight it’ll put you on the right track
Dm C
well , i ain’t no devil and i ain’t no saint
Am Dm Am Dm
but i can tell a dealer by the color of his paint .

chorus

solo :
Am G Am D
Am G Em Am Em Am

chorus

Am G
if you want good eggs you gotta feed that hen
Em Am
and if you wanna hear some more
Em Am
well , i’ll sing it again .
