Six Feet

	  		

Intro: Am 

Am 
 Left, right, left, right, left, right 
       Am 
 Gotta hit the ground before the moon comes down, 
          Em            F 
 Get your beak into the dirt, 
            Am 
 'Cause the birds out there still waking up, 
          Em               F 
 Are the last to get their worm, 
     Am 
 And even when the table's full 
Em        F            Am 
 Only the foolish slow down 
                                         N.C. 
 I been around long enough to know there ain't enough to go 'round 


Am    
 Been working to the bone 
      F            C 
 Been burning both ends 
           Am 
 Trying to make them meet 
              F       C 
 Before we're hungry again 
         Am 
 So it's left, right, left 
          F            C 
 Down the trail of the dead, 
          Am                      F           C 
 And only six feet between me and catching my breath 
          Am                      G            Am 
 And only six feet between me and getting some rest 


Am 
 Left, right, left, right, left, right, all right 


Am 
 Gotta grind to the slow times 
        Em                                      F 
 'Cause thinking about the clock won't make the time fly 
Am 
 When you're counting down the minutes adding up the hours given 
              Em                                F 
 Remember the fact that Friday isn't over just 'cause you think you finished up 
Am 
 When you hear that whistle blow, 
Em        F                    Am 
 Only the weakest go home like that 
                N.C. 
 Pain don't put food on that plate 


Am    
 Been working to the bone 
      F            C 
 Been burning both ends 
           Am 
 Trying to make them meet 
              F       C 
 Before we're hungry again 
         Am 
 So it's left, right, left 
          F            C 
 Down the trail of the dead, 
          Am                      F           C 
 And only six feet between me and catching my breath

Am 
 Ain't nobody coming when you make the call 
        G                         Dm 
 'Cause every man gunning for the first to fall 
Am 
 Fill that bucket 'til the well runs dry 
      G                          Dm 
 It's left, right, left 'til the day you die

 Sometimes those six feet look tempting, I gotta confess.
