[Intro]
D D D D
[Verse 1]
D He was born and raised on the rough side of town G D People said he never struck a leg
He had sawdust & grease in his beard
E A And his shack was filled up with driftwood & sticks D He said I find these things along the river G D And I use them to mount my little birds G And he gave me a drink of his moonshine A D And I think that I was spellbound by his words G A D Ain't it funny where a man can find beauty
[Verse 2]
D
He said thanks for the rideAnd I'm glad you came in
G D I never dreamed you'd be sitting there
I heard a lot about you from the men that worked for you
E A And they say that your fair & square D He gave me a pickle that he canned himself G D And some corn that he baked in shucks G As he smiled I could tell that he wouldn't trade places A D With me for ten thousand bucks G A D Ain't it funny where a man can find wisdom
[Verse 3]
D He picked up his dulcimer and played me a tune G D About a man that he called his friend
He said I believe that Jesus was born
E A And that he really died for my sins D and Folks think I'm crazy cuz I drink a little shine G D And I'm on the low side of life G But I seen my friend in that old piece of wood A D And I'm gonna cut him out with my knife G A D Ain't it funny where a man can find Jesus
D E

Well we'd come to be friends
