Kris Kristofferson – Bread For The Body (Guitar)

   A                          G            A
I built my own chains in the land of the free

                             B          E
A slave to a job that meant nothing to me

             A                     G         A
With three shiny new cars and a split level home

                           G       A
To furnish the tomb I was dying to own

     D
Then one day I wakened with fear in my eye

  A                                   E
Aware of a world that was passing me by

        A                      G          A
And I knew that my savings of silver and gold

                                G        A
Would mean not a thing when my body was cold

         A                      D        A
Because life is a song for the dying to sing

                             B        E
It's got to have feeling to mean anything

       A                      D         A
And a man can get by without silver or gold

                             G            A
With bread for the body and song for the soul

     A                     G             A
I'm living my life by the lessons I've learned

                              B           E
And not looking back at the bridges I've burned

            A                         G         A
'Cause the time that we travel from cradle to grave

                                G          A
Was meant to be spent and not meant to be saved

        D 
And I know there are some who will say I'm a fool

       A                                     E
But I don't give a damn for the people that do

           A                     G           A
'Cause if down in a dungeon is where they belong

                                   G         A
Well, that's their misfortune and none of my own

         A                      D        A
Because life is a song for the dying to sing

                             B        E
It's got to have feeling to mean anything

       A                      D         A
And a man can get by without silver or gold

                             G            A
With bread for the body and song for the soul
