Capo 3

Intro: C  G  D  Dsus4 (x2)

C          G                 D             Dsus4  O lord I think I'm falling to my disbelief

    C              G          D                Dsus4I'm cursing like a sailor and lying like a thief

     C                G                D               Dsus4It's hard to heed the calling from the better side of me

         C            G             D                  Dsus4When I'm blaming everybody else and no one's coming clean


C        G              D                    Dsus4  O lord can you see my thick skin wearing thin

        C           G             D             Dsus4And the demons of a lesser me are beckoning me in

C                   G              D                    Dsus4Those who gathered 'round me - I'm watching them all leave

        C         Em     D     GCause I am my own ragged company


        C              G        D                 Dsus4You can take a trip to china or take a boat to Spain

       C           G                   D                  Dsus4Take a blue canoe around the world and never come back again

    C               G                  D                 Dsus4But traveling don't change a thing, it only makes it worse

C                   G             D                     Dsus4Unless the trip you take is in to change your cruel course

       C                  G                D                   Dsus4'Cause every town's got a mirror and every mirror still shows me

       C         Em     D     GThat I am my own ragged company

  C         Em     D     GI am my own ragged company


C  G  D  Dsus4 (x4)instrumental


A         Asus4Won't you help me lord

A         Asus4     Won't you help me lord

A       Asus4 someone cut the cord

        G        F    D  C  G  D  Dsus4and I'm falling down again-------

C  G  D  Dsus4 (x3)instrumental

C         G       D                  Dsus4  Oh it's lonely, lord it's mighty cold

    C               G              D                  Dsus4And I don't want to live this way afraid of growing old

     C                G                D                 Dsus4It's hard to heed the warning when you cannot see the crime

    C           G              D               Dsus4The only way to remember is to forget in a rhyme

        C                   G             D             Dsus4And I'm scared to tread the red road that leads to galilee

        C         Em     D     GCause I am my own ragged company

  C         Em     D     GI am my own ragged company    (x3)
