Waylon Jennings – Broken Promise Land (Guitar)

            G             D 
There's a bible on the dresser, 

        C                                                    
and a sign hung on the door, 

        D           C                  G                                
and a woman in my arms that shouldn't be. 

             G             D 
I'm to the point of no returning, 

      C  
but I've been here before. 

         D               C           G 
This cheating life is nothing new to me. 

           G              D 
There's someone to be considered, 

   C 
I call her on the phone, 

             D              C              G 
and say the job is taking longer than I planned 

         G                D 
I dont have the heart to tell her, 

           C 
that a stranger turned me on, 

           D              C             G 
and I'm heading for the broken promise land 

    G                  C 
Tonight I'm crossing over  

           D                 Em 
and I'll reach the cheating side 

          G                D           Am 
and I'll hate myself for coming here again. 

G                                   C 
Where the streets are paved with misery 

      D                 Em 
and lives are built on lies, 

      G                    D            C 
the place they call the broken promise land

            G                 D 
Found the note left on the dresser, 

         C 
and the key left in the door, 

             D                 C             G 
and on the floor I found her golden wedding band. 

            G             D             
Guess she finally had to tell me,  

            C              
she's not waiting here no more, 

          D               C              G 
and she heading for the broken promise land. 

G                       C 
Tonight she's crossing over  

             D                 Em 
and she'll reach the cheating side 

G                          D              Am 
and I'll hate myself for giving her the chance. 

              G                     C 
'Cause the streets are paved with misery 

      D                 Em 
and lives are built on lies. 

      G                   D              C 
The place they call the broken promise land. 

G                            C 
...and its more than I can stand.
