Ian Noe - If today doesnt do me in

I^Cn a heavy rain standing Off an o^Fld county roa^Cd 'Side a high rolling river so sw^Gift Ther^Ce was a hitchhiking stranger Quit^Fe pale from the c^Cold On^Am a cane, tryin' t^Go thumb down a lif^Ft Wel^Cl, I pulled up beside him And let^F my window on dow^Cn To t^Amhe rain and the b^Fone-chilling w^Gind Said^C "You look awful ^Gworn In t^Fhis late-winte^Cr storm Which^Am way are you he^Gaded, my fri^Fend?"

"R^Amight up ^Gto the spotlig^Cht Drin^Fkin' all that ^AmCoke and gi^Gn And I'^Cll be suit-wearin' man With ^Fgold in my h^Cand If t^Amoday do^Gesn't do me i^Fn" ^C

Behi^Cnd a gas station counter Movin^Fg crates full of thi^Cngs That ^Amlooked far to^Co heavy for ^Gher There^C stood a girl with a frown Said, "Let me j^Fust set these ^Cdown And I^Am'll be rig^Ght with you, s^Fir" ^C I said, ^C"No hurry here Take all the^F time that you ^Cwant" She said, "A l^Amittle time and^C you just wait and ^Gsee Oh, I'll be^C without a care^G When I f^Finally get ther^Ce" I said, "M^Amiss, tell^G me where might that ^Fbe" ^C

"Rig^Amht up to^G the spotlight^C Drink^Fin' all that C^Amoke and gin^G And I'^Cll be a dress-wearin' girl With t^Fhe heels and the p^Cearls If tod^Amay doesn't^G do me i^Fn If tod^Amay doesn't^G do me i^Fn" ^C

Well, I^C got a head-full this morning Cuttin'^F out through the f^Cog You kno^Amw, I can't help ^Cbut wonder what's^G left From ever^Cy road that dead-ends To tho^Fse old bitter ^Cmen Pass^Aming time on^G the old court^Fhouse steps ^C And th^Cere's a feeling you get Not f^Far from despa^Cir Tha^Ct sometimes^F sets in on your m^Gind ^C But i^Cf it's all that you'^Gve got You s^Ftill set the clo^Cck And g^Amet up with^G a reason to cl^Fimb ^C

Righ^Amt up to ^Gthe spotlight ^C Drin^Fking all that ^Amcoke and gi^Gn And ^CI'll leave these shadows behind For a^F new peace of mi^Cnd If tod^Amay does^Gn't do me^F in ^C If tod^Amay does^Gn't do me^F in ^C
