[Verse 1]
          Am                                          G
Well, the rain was a-fallin’ and the ground turned to mud

      Am                                       D
I was watching all the people running from the flood

     Am                                           G
So I started to prayin' though I ain't no prayin' man

        Em             Am              Em7       Am
For the Lord to come a-helpin' knowing he'd understand
[Chorus]
  G          D/F#            Em
Deliver your children to the good, good life

C                  G/B           Am
Give 'em peace and shelter and a fork and knife

        G            D/F#          Em
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night

         G     D/F# Em                 C    G/B | Am | % | % | % | 
And if a thing goes wrong you'd better make it  right
[Verse 2]
Am                                       G
Well, I had me a woman, she was good and clean

    Am                               D
She spent all day with the washing machine

            Am                            G
But when it came to lovin' she was never around

        Em          Am    Em7      Am
She was out getting dirty all over town.
[Chorus]
  G          D/F#            Em
Deliver your children to the good, good life

C                  G/B           Am
Give 'em peace and shelter and a fork and knife

        G            D/F#          Em
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night

         G     D/F# Em                 C    G/B | Am | % | % | % | Am | % | % | % |

[Verse 3]
            Dm                              C
Well, I was low on money and my truck broke down

      Dm                        G 
I was on my way to the lost and found

     Dm                                  C
So I took it to a dealer, I said make it run

        Am           Dm           Am       Dm
Well, I ain't got no money, but I got me a gun
[Verse 4]
           Dm                                  C
I said you robbed me before so I'm robbing you back

          Dm                                                 G 
And if it don't put you straight, it'll put you on the right track

        Dm                            C
Well, I ain't no devil and I ain't no saint

    Am           Dm            Am           Dm
But I can tell a dealer by the color of his paint.
[Chorus]
  G          D/F#            Em
Deliver your children to the good, good life

C                  G/B           Am
Give 'em peace and shelter and a fork and knife

        G            D/F#          Em
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night

(half-time/chorus-feel) [Verse 6]
       Am                                 G
If you want good eggs you gotta feed that hen

           Em              Am
And if you wanna hear some more

           Em       | Am      Em | Am
Well, I'll sing it again
