Dark and Dirty Mile Jason Boland & The Stragglers
Dark and Dirty Mile
Capo 2:
Verse 1:
[A]I refuse to spend the rest of my d[D]ays trying to get away from a[A]ll the things
I did when I knew n[E]ot what I had done
Oh so [A]young and tired of love was I that I and my [D]own bottle always re[A]fused to hear
them tell me not to s[E]tare into the s[A]un
[A]This photographic place told me a bo[D]dy was to be feared [A]and the moment at the same
time man, that yo[E]u'd figure it out.
[A]Fear because it was the pathway t[D]o a mortal sin and on[A]ly then because we'll all be dust a
[E]few short years from [A]now.
Chorus:
[E]It's a broken hearted world that we i[D]nherit
[E]All we're told is to do sit a[D]nd bear it
[A]For a little while,
[D]On this dark and dirty [A]mile.
V2
D, E,A
Took the path of for least for me(?) and lived enough until i believe and known what I heard and less than half of what I saw
Mark the days have come and gone some were lost and some were wrong and the way back home we'll figure out a place to place it all
Chorus:
[E]It's a broken hearted world that we i[D]nherit
[E]All we're told is to do sit a[D]nd bear it
[A]For a little while,
[D]On this dark and dirty mile[A]
[D]We're all family here on tr[A]ial
[D]On this dark and dirty m[A]ile [D]
Instrumental with verse A, D, finishing D, E, A
V3
Finally I realized that knowledge better make you wise were all the nights you learned to try and leave me in a bar
Helpless as when we were born thread bare and holy worn shivering as summer gives way to early fall
Chorus:
It's a broken hearted world that we inherit
All we're told is to do sit and bear it
For a little while,
On the dark and dirty mile
We're all family here on trial
On the dark and dirty mile
