Clean Dirt

Intro 
G    C    G    C 


 
                     G 
It's spotlights and guitars 
          C 
I lost so on the rock n' roll highway 
       Em7 
Smokey dive bars 
             C 
Playing and paying dues the hard way 

 G 
Ten to two and beer stained boots 
        C 
Neon's rippling through my shirt 
                  Em7   D 
It comes with the work 
       C 
Clean dirt 
 

 
   G 
I read the good book when I can 
           C 
But don't make it every Sunday 
  Em7 
I slip and fall more than now and then 
            C 
Taking the straight and narrow sideways 

      G 
Lord knows the dirt 'round in my soul 
      C 
Is enough for me to burn 
          Em7              D          C              C 
But thank God, that three nails, two boards and one Man 
       G     C 
Clean dirt 
 

 
                   G 
Words and red and cold beer 
        C 
Mama's prayers and raising all kinds of hell 
        Em7 
Got me right here 
         C 
At this crossroads with myself 

      G 
It's hard for me to hit my knees 
         C 
And take something I didn't earn 
     Em7         D 
But grace is free 
        C 
And it cleans dirt 
 

 
   G 
I read the good book when I can 
           C 
But don't make it every Sunday 
  Em7 
I slip and fall more than now and then 
            C 
Taking the straight and narrow sideways 

     G 
And Lord knows the dirt 'round in my soul 
      C 
Is enough for me to burn 
      Em7         D          C 
Thank God, three nails, two boards and one Man 

 G           C 
Clean diiiirt 
      Em7            C 
Clean diiiiir-ir-ir-irt 
 

Outro 
           Em7                   D 
Yeah, Lord knows the dirt 'round in my soul 
      C 
Is enough for me to burn 

And hell's what I deserve 

          Em               D             C 
But thank God, that three nails and two boards and one Man
