A Couple Acres Greener Chords

[Intro]
Em    C    G    D - Cdim  x2
 
[Verse 1]
     Em                    C
I’ve never been so hungry,
           G                          D             Cdim
Seems like twenty-two years I’ve been looking for a fight
Em                               C
Never stayed in school for long,    couldn’t keep my patience on
G                           D               Cdim
   Never had the motivation quite to get my timing right
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
C                       G
   I want my story to begin
          D                      Em  D  C
There’s a time to save up and a time to spend
                      G
I’m too young for the past tense
         D                   Cdim  Cdim Cdim    D#dim    F#dim
All this worrying about what might have been
 
 
[Chorus]
Em                                   C
    Should have been a preacher man, let the good book show me where to
G                     D        Cdim
Stand in this earthly half-way home
Em                                  C
    Should have been a farmin’ man, teach my boy to plow the land
G                               D            Cdim
Leave this wicked winter just a couple acres greener when I go
Em    C    G    D   Cdim
 
 
[Verse 2]
     Em                       C
I’ve never been so thirsty to get my soul right
    G                           D             Cdim
But like a summer bug I’ve been burned by the blinding light
Em                               C
Never stayed in church for long, poplar pews ‘n white folks songs
G                           D       Cdim
Sunday morning never was as real as Friday Night
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
C                        G
  I want to celebrate my sins
          D                     Em   D  C
There’s a time to save up and a time to spend
                      G
I’m too young for the past tense
         D                   Cdim  Cdim Cdim    D#dim    F#dim
All this worrying about what might have been
 
 
[Chorus]
Em                                   C
    Should have been a preacher man, let the good book show me where to
G                     D        Cdim
Stand in this earthly half-way home
Em                                  C
    Should have been a farmin’ man, teach my boy to plow the land
G                               D            Cdim
Leave this wicked winter just a couple acres greener when I go
 
 
[Break]
Em    C    G    D   Cdim
Em    C    G    D   Cdim
Em    C    G    D   Cdim
C     G    D    Cdim    D#dim    F#dim
 
 
[Bridge] (one strum each)
C                             G
    Some day they’ll write my name up on a
D           Em                D
Stone and I won’t be there to see it
C                 G            D            Cdim   Cdim   Cdim   D#dim   F#dim
    Up on Calv’ry calling me I know they’ll say . . .
 
 
[Chorus]
Em                                   C
    Should have been a preacher man, let the good book show me where to
G                     D        Cdim
Stand in this earthly half-way home
Em                                  C
    Should have been a farmin’ man, teach my boy to plow the land
G                               D            Cdim
Leave this wicked winter just a couple acres greener when I go
 
Em     N.C.
Should have been a preacher man, let the good book show me where to
N.C.
Stand in this earthly half-way home
N.C.
Should have been a farmin’ man, teach my boy to plow the land
N.C.
Leave this wicked winter just a couple acres greener when I go
