Chords
Another cool song from the new album. I tend to play a C/G for the C to get some bass drone in there.
Lead is something like this in the verse then arpeggio the bar chords for chorus.

[INTRO]
Em Am C Am
[VERSE I]
C Am C Am Em Am G Shifting the chair on the porch for a better position to enjoy the warmth of the sun, to keep warm C Am C Am Working the needle and twine. Lost in the furthest recess of the mind. Em Am Em Am G It is calm. There is peace. A cat on his lap and a dog at her feet.
[CHORUS]
C G Am F G But oh, the heart of a man. The secrets they bury within. C G Oh the causes that force his poor hand Am F G C Am C Am Lead to be mislead thus the deceiving of him.
[VERSE II]
C Am C Am It's an item uneasily described. Misunderstandings our thoughts by and by. Em Am G I'm barely here if even at all. C Am C Am Fear of the misunderstood invites the violence right in chasing off all the good. Em Am Em Am G We have brought it all on ourselves. Led astray by the words of somebody else!
[CHORUS II]
C G Am F G But oh, the life of a man. His head above the water and pushed under again C G Oh I've seen it one too many times Am F G Its a test of the spirit verses the health of a mind.
[BRIDGE]
Dm G C C/B Am Oh.......bring relief to him now and the people he loves. Dm G C C/B Am Oh.......I know the feel of the feeling but not what's it's called Dm G C Am C Am Oh....... oh......
[CHORUS III]
C G Am F G Oh the will of a man and all his well meaning intent. C G Am F G C Oh the thought of it all. As far as we've come there's still further to go...
[OUTRO]
Dm G C C/B Am Oh,all the years we lost they didn't mean nothing at all Dm G C C/B Am Oh,lifting the spirit impression of a son, oh Dm G C C/B Am Bring some peace to his heart and a wondering thought, oh Dm G C C/B Am Bring some peace to this world and keep passing it on C Am C Am
