x
Used to be younger, out on the hard streets,
Gettin' high on crystal, drinkin' scotch and smokin' weed,
x
Daddy's wish used to be nothin' less than my command,
%G
Took to a switch to my back, nailed me to a cross with both hands,
xEm Am Em Am x
Momma couldn't give me the thing a young boy needs,
Instead of momma sufferin' she was smart enough to leave,
%G & &
Spent my life fightin' tryin' to stay free,
From trials and tribulation and the state penitantory,
(oh, i know)
legend:
x ==> pick and strum like intro
& ==> this is just strummed while playing around with D
% ==> strum
*note: after this, it's just a very simple rhythm, if you know the tune *
%Em
I suppose really lookin' cool, just makin' both ends meet,
Until that day i saw you walkin', down Blue Angel Street,
&D&
The sweetest lies of lily white, comin' from you lips,
You brush away all my pain, with a lazy finger tip!
It moves my heart just watchin', the way you walk so smooth,
you save me from an evil fate, you steal 'way my blues,
& &
Lyin' here, in your arms, I don't need no more proof,
G D C D ^^^^^^^^^^(strum)
Lyin' here, safe and warm, it's just the naked truth!
This man loves you, this man loves you,
%
This man loves you, this man loves you.
x
That's the naked truth. It's the naked truth.........
x
Goin' down that graveyard spiral, there was nothin' I could do,
Life treated me much harder, ?than me'in' an ole corkscrew?
>(meeting)<
%G
Lyin' here, in your arms, I don't need no more proof,
G D C D^^^^^^^(strum)
Lyin' here, safe and warm, it's just the naked truth!
%G %
This man loves you, this man loves you,
This man loves you, this man loves you...............
x
It's the.... It's the.... naked truth
