Waylon Jennings – Broken Promise Land (Ukulele)

            F             G 
There's a bible on the dresser, 

        F                                                    
and a sign hung on the door, 

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

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

      F  
but I've been here before. 

         G               F           F 
This cheating life is nothing new to me. 

           F              G 
There's someone to be considered, 

   F 
I call her on the phone, 

             G              F              F 
and say the job is taking longer than I planned 

         F                G 
I dont have the heart to tell her, 

           F 
that a stranger turned me on, 

           G              F             F 
and I'm heading for the broken promise land 

    F                  F 
Tonight I'm crossing over  

           G                 Dm 
and I'll reach the cheating side 

          F                G           Dm 
and I'll hate myself for coming here again. 

F                                   F 
Where the streets are paved with misery 

      G                 Dm 
and lives are built on lies, 

      F                    G            F 
the place they call the broken promise land

            F                 G 
Found the note left on the dresser, 

         F 
and the key left in the door, 

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

            F             G             
Guess she finally had to tell me,  

            F              
she's not waiting here no more, 

          G               F              F 
and she heading for the broken promise land. 

F                       F 
Tonight she's crossing over  

             G                 Dm 
and she'll reach the cheating side 

F                          G              Dm 
and I'll hate myself for giving her the chance. 

              F                     F 
'Cause the streets are paved with misery 

      G                 Dm 
and lives are built on lies. 

      F                   G              F 
The place they call the broken promise land. 

F                            F 
...and its more than I can stand.
