Oh Lord Part 3
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
Below the first full song chords I've also included the version from Gathering -
Home Recordings album.
It is almost the same as the first one but lyrics/order is different (too close
to submit a second version.)
[Intro]
G D G C G
Sometimes it's hard to carry this great weight
C/G G C/G G
Either bound to burn or to the pearly gates
C/G
And I'm as aimless as can be
G G/F# Em
Often nameless though I'm free
C/E D7
Oh Lord, do You have a plan for me?
[Verse 1]
G
I've been kicked out of Texas
C/G
Stole an infamous necklace
G
Became a spiritual master
D
Got rejected by Vassar
G
A cool head in the game
C/G
Of whatever I'm playing
G
I'm the favorite of babies
D
And society mavens
[Chorus]
G
Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
Em
Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
C/G D7 G
Will You ever ever have a plan for me?
[Verse 2]
G
I have marveled at splendors
C/G
Upended the vendors
G
Been kidnapped and ransomed
D
Just a little too handsome
G
And more than a few times
C/G
I've lived without sunshine
G
And yes I've wondered
D
Should a life be a lifetime?
[Chorus]
G
Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
Em
Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
C/G D7 G
Will You ever ever have a plan for me?
[Verse 3]
G
I'm dedicated to freedom
C/G
The American Legion
G
I got invited to Paris
D
By a real Parisian
G
I've been the best and the worstest
C/G
Composed my own curses
G
Got my heart broke so bad
D
They had to call in the nurses
[Chorus]
G
Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
Em
Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
C/G D7 G
Will You ever ever have a plan for me?
[Break]
G C/G C/G D7 G
G Em C/G G
[Verse 4]
G
I have had good intentions
C/G
Blue-blooded pretensions
G
I've been the subject of rumors
D
At the party conventions
G
My feature's harmonic
C/G
Wisdom Solomonic
G
If there's a board of directors
D
You can bet that I'm on it
[Chorus]
G
Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
Em
Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
C/G D7 G
Will You ever ever have a plan for me?
[Verse 5]
G
I take my place with the sages
C/G
Belong to the ages
G
Give my clothes to the poor and
D
My love to the ladies
G
May all them wish me
C/G
Commended to history
G
Write books all about how
D
Every one of them miss me
[Chorus]
G
Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
Em
Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
C/G D7 G
Will You ever ever have a plan for me?
[Verse 6]
G
And so for now I go aimless
C/G
Convicted though blameless
G
At times using nicknames
D
At times going nameless
G
Royalty unquestioned
C/G
A gentleman of discretion
G
Y'all sing Hallelujah
D
For here ends the lesson
[Chorus]
G
Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
Em
Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
C/G D7 G
Will You ever ever have a plan for me?
[Chorus]
G
Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
Em
Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
C/G D7 G
Will You ever ever have a plan for me?
G
