Briar Branch Road - Far From Saints guitar chord

Far From Saints

Briar Branch Road

Intro: Bm G x 3

Bm

Outside there's a pickup truck

G

Got the bed cut off for a post rack

Bm

And flat bed four-wheel drives

G

Line the gravel in the back

Bm A

Inside there are dusty men

G

Holding beer in calloused hands

Bm G

And an ole blue heeler resting on the floor

Bm G x1

Bm

There ain't been no killings

G

Down at Shorty's bar

Bm

Since Tommy took a hammer to

G

That boy from Arkansas

Bm A

But sometimes on a rowdy night

G

There might be a short-lived fight

Bm

Over who makes a better diesel

G

Ford or Dodge

chorus:

Bm G

These ole boys are far from saints

D

They're sometimes wrong

A

But hell who ain't

Bm G

They just came to relax and drink

D A

So who am I to judge

Bm G

They'll go home to angry wives

D G

Stacks of bills and babies crying

Bm A G

But right now they're just men without a care

Oh yeah.

Bm G x1

Bm G

Jerry's tried for years to get on at the paper mill

Bm

But since he threw his back out

G

You know he probably never will

Bm A

And tomorrow he's gotta go to court

G

He's months behind on child support

Bm G

And that ole judge might give him thirty days

Bm

Billy poached another deer

G

But last night he was seen

Bm G

Someone called it in when they saw his spotlight beam

Bm A

He kicked up a cloud of dust

G

And just before he made his run

Bm G

He shot at the game warden again

chorus

Bm

There's a worn out figure

G

Sitting on a nearby stool

Bm

Needs to save tuition

G

To put his boy through welding school

Bm A

But he just bought another round

G

He's drinking half his paycheck down

Bm G

And someone said they just cut off his phone

Solo Break Chords: Bm G D A x2

Bm G D G

Bm A G

Bm G

These ole boys are far from saints

D A

But we've all made our own mistakes

Bm G

And I bet they'd buy you a drink

D A

If you were down and out

Bm G

They don't live the easy life

D G

They just come here to unwind

Bm A G

Sometimes it's all that gets them through the week

Outro: Bm G x 2 then end on Bm
