Selection chords: Katie Paterson

Intro: A Bm G

        D
Well I wake up in the morning, try to set my hook
     D                                          D7
I used to be a settled boy, never stumbled or shook
               G                                         D
But now Iʼve got no hand to hold, no friend to call my own
        A                           Bm
And I ainʼt the one to ask much of big men in the sky,
                  G
but itʼs all I got

           D
So maybe Iʼll pick up and go, with no thinkinʼ through
 D                                             D7
Just sleep out every night and try to forget you
      G                                       D
Iʼd look out on some ocean, wash my head in blue
         A                           Bm
Well I ainʼt the one to ask much of big men in the sky,
                 G
but itʼs all I got

         D
Been a-rockinʼ and a-rollinʼ, reelinʼ in my time
 D                                                D7
I set myself up fancy-like, and set a brand new line
         G                                          D
Well I oughta know by now, it comes and goes itʼs true
         A                           Bm
Well I ainʼt the one to ask much of big men in the sky,
                G  D
but itʼs all I got

 Bm      A          G
Mmmmm   Mmmmmmm   Mmmmm   x4

       D
Well thinkinʼ ainʼt no pastime and thinkinʼ ainʼt no friend
 D                                               D7
If all you do is sit around and think about the end
       G                                          D
Maybe I will get to prayinʼ someday before Iʼm through
        A                           Bm
But I ainʼt the one to ask much of big men in the sky,
                 G  D
but itʼs all I got

A Bm G D
