Chords

This is a cover of the Arrested Development song. It's from Punk Goes Crunk. I'm not a fan of New Found Glory, but I AM a big fan of old school rap. So here it goes: Intro: G...
G Dadd11
Lord I've really been real stressed

Em7 Cadd9
Down and out, losin ground

G Dadd11
Although I am black and proud

Em7 Cadd9
Problems got me pessimistic

G Dadd11
Brothers and sisters keep messin up

Em7 Dadd11
Why does it have to be so damn tuff?

G Dadd11
I don't know where I can go

Em7 Cadd9
To let these ghosts out of my skull

G Dadd11
My grandmas past, my brothers gone

Em7 Cadd9
I never at once felt so alone

G Dadd11
I know you're supposed to be my steering wheel

Em7 Cadd9
Not just my spare tire

G Dadd11
But lord I ask you

Em7 Cadd9
To be my guiding force and truth

G Cadd9
For some strange reason it had to be

D
He guided me to Tennessee
(Chorus)
G Cadd9
Take me to another place

G Cadd9
Take me to another land

G Cadd9
Make me forget all that hurts me

Em7 D
Let me understand your plan

G Dadd11
Lord it's obvious we got a relationship

Em7 Cadd9
Talkin to each other every night and day

G Dadd11
Although you're superior over me

Em7 Cadd9
We talk to each other in a friendship way

G Dadd11
Then outta nowhere you tell me to break

Em7 Cadd9
Outta the country and into more country

G Dadd11
Past Dyesburg into Ripley

Em7 Cadd9
Where the ghost of childhood haunts me

G Dadd11
Walk the roads my forefathers walked

Em7 Cadd9
Climbed the trees my forefathers hung from

G Dadd11
Asked those trees for all their wisdom

Em7 Cadd9
They tell me my ears are so young

G Dadd11
Go back to from whence you came

Em7 Cadd9
My family tree my family name

G Cadd9
For some strange reason it had to be

D
He guided me to Tennessee
(Chorus) Bridge: G
G Dadd11
Now I see the importance of history

Em7 Cadd9
Why people be in the mess that they be

G
Many journeys to freedom made in vain
By brothers on the corner playin ghetto games
G Dadd11
I ask you lord why you enlightened me

Em7 Cadd9
Without the enlightment of all my folks

G Dadd11
He said cuz I set myself on a quest for truth

Em7 Cadd9
And he was there to quench my thirst

Em7
But I am still thirsty...

G Dadd11
The lord allowed me to drink some more

Em7 Cadd9
He said what I am searchin for are

G Dadd11
The answers to all which are in front of me

Em7 Cadd9
The ultimate truth started to get blurry

G Cadd9
For some strange reason it had to be

D
It was all a dream about Tennessee
Chorus End on G Sweet.
