>From The Album "The Way I Should" - Iris DeMent
=====================================================
Capo 4th Fret
[Intro]
C D G G C D G G
[tab]G D G
A cold wind against my shoulder woke me up in the middle of the night[/tab]
[tab] Em
An autumn leaf was scraping against my window[/tab]
[tab] G
Like it was tryin' hard to get inside[/tab]
[tab] C D
And then a ghost that I had met before he kept me up till dawn[/tab]
[tab] G C
And everything I thought was right was suddenly all wrong[/tab]
[tab] D
He said "your score is looking pretty bad"[/tab]
[tab] G
Then he asked me what it was that I had to show[/tab]
[tab]G
So I went runnin' down a list of things[/tab]
[tab]D G
Some were real, but on some of them I lied[/tab]
[tab] Em
'Cause I felt I had to justify each breath that[/tab]
[tab] G
I'd been breathin' in this life[/tab]
[tab] C D
Then I realized I was playing into someone else's rules[/tab]
[tab]G C
Tryin' to keep my score up in a game I did not choose[/tab]
[tab] D
Then I looked that ghost straight in the eye and said[/tab]
[tab] G
"You'd better not be coming back by again"[/tab]
[tab]G C
And it's true that I don't work near as hard[/tab]
[tab] D
As you tell me that I'm supposed to[/tab]
[tab]G C
I don't run as fast as I could[/tab]
[tab] D
But I live just the way I want to[/tab]
[tab] G
And that's the way I should[/tab]
[Instrumental]
C D G C C D G G
[tab]G
October's leaves were dancin' 'round[/tab]
[tab] D G
Like angels dressed in robes of red and gold[/tab]
[tab] Em
But November's come and gone now[/tab]
[tab] G
And they're lyin' in the gutter out along the road[/tab]
[tab] C D
They're gonna make their way out to the ditch or someday to the sea[/tab]
[tab] G C
But they'll get to where they're goin' without the help of you or me[/tab]
[tab] D
And if each life is just a grain of sand[/tab]
[tab] G
I'm tellin' you man, this grain of sand is mine[/tab]
[tab]G C
And it's true that I don't work near as hard[/tab]
[tab] D
As you tell me that I'm supposed to[/tab]
[tab]G C
I don't run as fast as I could[/tab]
[tab] D
But I live just the way I want to[/tab]
[tab] G
And that's the way I should[/tab]
[tab] C D
But I live just the way I want to[/tab]
[tab] G
And that's the way I should[/tab]
[Outro. Repeat To Fade]
