A bit tricky to get the timing down and sing, but sounds awsome on a slightly
overdriven guitar, or an acoustic.
Play it in Barre chords it is easier and sounds better.
I tried to give direction as to what fret to play barre at that sounds best to me,
experement and let me know.

Weeds in the Wheat-live at the Grey Eagle
God bless the man who stumbles
God bless the man who falls
C(at 8) C7 F G G7 F
God bless the man who yields to temptation
God bless the woman who suffers
God bless the woman who weeps
God bless the children trying her patience
Bb(at 6) Ab F#
Trouble getting over it is what you’re in for
So pour yourself another
Bb(at6) Ab Eb(bar at 11) C# (bar at 9)
‘Cause it’ll take a steady pair of hands
Holy or unholy ghost
Well now I can’t tell
But either way you cut it
You should get some distance if you plan
To take a stand
God bless the house divided
God bless the weed in the wheat
C C7 F G G7 Bm(bar at 2)
God bless the lamp lit under a bushel
C(bar at8) A Dm G
I discovered hell to be the poison in the well
Cm(at3) F G7 G
So I tried to warn the others of the curse
C(bar at 8) A
But then my body turned on me
I dreamt that for eternity my family would burn
Bb D(bar at 10)
Then I awoke, with a wicked thirst
Verse Chords with woah woahs
By my baby’s yellow bed I kissed her forehead
And rubbed her little tummy
And wondered if she’ll soon despise the smell
Of the booze on my breath, like her mom
Through a darkened mirror I have seen my own reflection
And it makes me want to be a better man
After another drink
God bless the man at the crossroads
God bless the woman who still can’t sleep
God bless the history that doesn’t repeat
