Across The Great Divide Lyrics

Across The Great Divide

G	 g/b	  c/e 	g   g/b
Standin by your window in pain, a pistol in your
C/e	g   g/b	   c/e
Hand, and I beg you, dear molly, girl,
D
Try and understand your man the best you can.

G			   a7   c		    em	 g
Across the great divide, just grab your hat, and take that ride
A	  c			  em	  g
Get yourself a bride, and bring your children down to the river side.

G			c	   g			c
I had a goal in my younger days, I nearly wrote my will
G			c		d
But I changed my mind for the better, I’m at the still, had my fill and I’m fit
to kill
G		   c		 g		 c
Pinball machine, and a queen, I nearly took a bust
G 	   c 	   d
Tried to keep my hands to myself, ya say it’s a must, but who can ya trust? 
G			  c		   g			 c
Harvest moon shinin’ down from the sky, a weary sign for all
G			  c	    d
I’m gonna leave this one horse town, had t’ stall till the fall, now I’m gonna
crawl!

G  a  c  em g

A	 c  g			   c
Now molly dear, don’t ya shed a tear
G 		   c	 g
Your time will surely come, you’ll feed your man
C 		  d
Chicken ev’ry sunday, now tell me, hon, what-cha done with the gun

G			 a7	 c		  em	   g
Across the great divide, just grab your hat, and take that ride
A	 c			 em	 g
Get yourself a bride, and bring your children down to the river side.
