Slaid Cleaves – One Good Year chords

Capo 1

In the verses, I like to do a [D] to [D/F#] to [G] walkup but it isn't necessary – I just think it sounds a lot better.


Intro Chords: [D]  [G]  [D]  [G]ss


               [D]   [D/F#]  [G]                   [D] It's New Years day,      just like the day before
                [D]    [D/F#]  [G]                         [A]Same old sky of gray       same empty bottles on the floor
                  [Bm] [G]                     [D]    [A]Another year gone by and I'm thinkin once again
          [D]                [A]                 [G] How can I take this losin' hand, and somehow win


Chorus 1:
                      [D]     [G]Just give me one good year
                    [D]To get my feet back on the ground
          [D]      [D/C#]       [Bm]                    [A]      [G]I've been chasin grace, but grace ain't so easily found
[G]                [D]One bad hand can devil a man
[G]                       [D]Chase him and carry him down
  [G]                [A]                           [D]      [G]I gotta get out of here, just give me one good year 


I'm burnin oil, engines runnin rough
I drive from job to job but it's never enough
I cant find the will to just up and get away
Some kind of chain's holdin' me down and makes me stay


Chorus


Bridge
             [G]     [A]Its a bitter wind
                  [Bm] In your face everyday
               [F#m]Its the little sins
                     [D] That wear your soul away
                     [G]    [A]When you start givin in
                          [Bm]Where do the promises all go
          [F#m]                                      [A]Will your darkest hour write a blank check on your soul
