Far From Saints

	  		Intro: Bm G x 3 

Bm 
Outside there's a pickup truck 
        G 
Got the bed cut off for a post rack 
Bm 
And flat bed four-wheel drives 
         G 
Line the gravel in the back 
Bm               A 
Inside there are dusty men 
G 
Holding beer in calloused hands 
Bm                                        G 
And an ole blue heeler resting on the floor 

Bm G x1 

Bm 
There ain't been no killings 
G 
Down at Shorty's bar 
Bm 
Since Tommy took a hammer to 
     G 
That boy from Arkansas 
Bm                 A           
But sometimes on a rowdy night 
G 
There might be a short-lived fight 
Bm 
Over who makes a better diesel 
           G 
Ford or Dodge 

chorus: 
Bm                 G 
These ole boys are far from saints 
D 
They're sometimes wrong 
    A 
But hell who ain't 
Bm                G 
They just came to relax and drink 
D              A 
So who am I to judge 
Bm                 G 
They'll go home to angry wives 
D                   G    
Stacks of bills and babies crying 
Bm                         A               G 
But right now they're just men without a care 
Oh yeah. 

Bm G x1 

Bm                                G 
Jerry's tried for years to get on at the paper mill 
Bm 
But since he threw his back out 
            G 
You know he probably never will 
Bm                      A  
And tomorrow he's gotta go to court 
G 
He's months behind on child support 
Bm                                       G 
And that ole judge might give him thirty days 

Bm 
Billy poached another deer 
    G 
But last night he was seen 
Bm                             G 
Someone called it in when they saw his spotlight beam 
Bm             A 
He kicked up a cloud of dust 
G 
And just before he made his run 
Bm             G 
He shot at the game warden again 

chorus 

Bm 
There's a worn out figure 
        G 
Sitting on a nearby stool 
Bm 
Needs to save tuition 
           G 
To put his boy through welding school 
Bm                 A 
But he just bought another round 
G 
He's drinking half his paycheck down 
Bm                                         G 
And someone said they just cut off his phone

                             Bm A G 

Bm                 G 
These ole boys are far from saints 
D                      A 
But we've all made our own mistakes 
Bm                   G 
And I bet they'd buy you a drink 
D                      A 
If you were down and out 
Bm                  G 
They don't live the easy life 
D                   G 
They just come here to unwind 
Bm                      A                       G 
Sometimes it's all that gets them through the week
