Nothin' really ends

[Verse 2]
Eb
Looka there, looka in my hand
The grandbaby of a moonshine man
Gadsden, Alabama
                 Absus4
Got folk down in Galveston, rooted in Louisiana
Eb
Used to say I spoke too country
Ab                      Eb
And the rejection came, said I wasn't country 'nough
                       Ab
Said I wouldn't saddle up, but
   Eb
If that ain't country, tell me what is?
Plant my bare feet on solid ground for years
                                         Ab/Eb
They don't, don't know how hard I had to fight for this
       Eb
When I sang my song

[Outro]
(When I sang the song of Abraham)
(When the angels guide and take my hand)
Ab
(Oh, no)
Eb
Goodbye to what has been
  Ab     Eb         F        Bb
A pretty house that we never settled in
Eb
A funeral for fair-weather friends
  Ab     Eb      F               Ab       Bb
I am the one to cleanse me of my Father's sins
Ab       G     Cm
American Requiem
     Ab   Eb    Bb  C     Ab     Eb    Bb
Them big ideas (Yeah) are buried here (Yeah)
Ab Eb F    Ab  Eb
Amen
