Transcription by Bahram ( Urkman@frankfurt.netsurf.de )
Intro : |D(9)- - -|D(9)- - D|D(9)- - -|D(9)- - D|
Verse 1 :
I gave two teeth in a teenage brawl, to a girl whose name I can't recall
Then we broke up
I gave a knee to the football team chasing that high school state champ dream
We almost won
I gave junior college almost a year
Then I gave a Greyhound twenty bucks, and that's how I got here
Chorus :
I give all my money, for a slice of daily bread
I give forty honest hours, to a boss I never met
And I gave my soul to Jesus, at the age of twenty-two
So there ain't much left to offer, but I give my heart to you
Intro : |D(9)- - -|D(9)- - D|
Verse 2 :
I gave a beard and a head of hair to a boot camp corporal with a barbers chair
At Camp LeJeune
I gave Uncle sam what he bargained for, twenty-four months not a minute more
I just didn't fit in
Then I gave a high school friend of mine a call
And we gave a body shop a try 'til we gave up last fall
Chorus :
I give all my money, for a slice of daily bread
I give forty honest hours, to a boss I never met
And I gave my soul to Jesus, at the age of twenty-two
So there ain't much left to offer, but I give my heart to you
Solo : |G - A - | D - - - | G - A - | D - - - |
Chorus :
And I gave my soul to Jesus, at the age of twenty-two
So there ain't much left to offer, but I give my heart to you
Outro : |D(9)- - -|D(9)- - D|D(9)- - -|D(9)- - D||D(9)- - -|D(9)- - D|
Comments : I really love this song, because it's simply simple and great :-)
It also has great Lyrics in my opinion.
It sounds best with a flatpicking on an acoustic guitar. Try to play a G(6)
instead of the G in the line "So there ain't much ...". That sounds pretty
cool. Also try to play a D(9) instead of the D in some parts of the song, so
it doesn't sound the same all the time.
The Intro- and Outro Part : |D(9)- - -|D(9)- - D| can be picked something
like that :
