A [F]woman who'd c[G-bar]ry, But the [C]sea must pro[A7]vide A c[Dm]hild to unr[G]avel The [C-ext]snarled nets of l[Am]ovin';

A [Dm]poor man[Am] whenever he [G]can.[G7]

I need a home, but my boots keep goin', Healing and peace that a fire would provide. A place to unburden my brain of its sorrow; First things first when you get to the fire. Rich man eats when he wishes A poor man whenever he can.

I need a song, but the spring is for sowing, A word to the wise that the Earth must provide A tune to untangle the riddle of growing; First things first when you get to the land. Rich man eats when he wishes A poor man whenever he can.

I need the moon, but the landlord needs money, A field of wild flowers that the stars could provide. A bird for my shoulder to fly through the rainbow; First things first when you get to the sky. Rich man eats when he wishes A poor man whenever he can. # # Submitted to the ftp.nevada.edu:/pub/guitar archives # by Steve Putz # 7 September 1992
