Chords
Below the first full song chords I've also included the version from Gathering - Home Recordings album.
It is almost the same as the first one but lyrics/order is different (too close to submit a second version.)
[Intro]
G D G C G Sometimes it's hard to carry this great weight C/G G C/G G Either bound to burn or to the pearly gates C/G And I'm as aimless as can be G G/F# Em Often nameless though I'm free C/E D7 Oh Lord, do You have a plan for me?
[Verse 1]
G I've been kicked out of Texas C/G Stole an infamous necklace G Became a spiritual master D Got rejected by Vassar G A cool head in the game C/G Of whatever I'm playing G I'm the favorite of babies D And society mavens
[Chorus]
G Whoa Lord (Oh Lord) Em Whoa Lord (Oh Lord) C/G D7 G Will You ever ever have a plan for me?
[Verse 2]
G I have marveled at splendors C/G Upended the vendors G Been kidnapped and ransomed D Just a little too handsome G And more than a few times C/G I've lived without sunshine G And yes I've wondered D Should a life be a lifetime?
[Chorus]
G Whoa Lord (Oh Lord) Em Whoa Lord (Oh Lord) C/G D7 G Will You ever ever have a plan for me?
[Verse 3]
G I'm dedicated to freedom C/G The American Legion G I got invited to Paris D By a real Parisian G I've been the best and the worstest C/G Composed my own curses G Got my heart broke so bad D They had to call in the nurses
[Chorus]
G Whoa Lord (Oh Lord) Em Whoa Lord (Oh Lord) C/G D7 G Will You ever ever have a plan for me?
[Break]
G C/G C/G D7 G
G Em C/G G
[Verse 4]
G I have had good intentions C/G Blue-blooded pretensions G I've been the subject of rumors D At the party conventions G My feature's harmonic C/G Wisdom Solomonic G If there's a board of directors D You can bet that I'm on it
[Chorus]
G Whoa Lord (Oh Lord) Em Whoa Lord (Oh Lord) C/G D7 G Will You ever ever have a plan for me?
[Verse 5]
G I take my place with the sages C/G Belong to the ages G Give my clothes to the poor and D My love to the ladies G May all them wish me C/G Commended to history G Write books all about how D Every one of them miss me
[Chorus]
G Whoa Lord (Oh Lord) Em Whoa Lord (Oh Lord) C/G D7 G Will You ever ever have a plan for me?
[Verse 6]
G And so for now I go aimless C/G Convicted though blameless G At times using nicknames D At times going nameless G Royalty unquestioned C/G A gentleman of discretion G Y'all sing Hallelujah D For here ends the lesson
[Chorus]
G Whoa Lord (Oh Lord) Em Whoa Lord (Oh Lord) C/G D7 G Will You ever ever have a plan for me?
[Chorus]
G Whoa Lord (Oh Lord) Em Whoa Lord (Oh Lord) C/G D7 G Will You ever ever have a plan for me?

[Verse 1]
