GIVE IT AWAY JULY 09

WHEN YOUR LOST ON THE HIGHWAY
AND CANNOT FIND YOUR WAY D A
WHEN THE COST IS TOO HIGH,
AND THE MAN WANTS HIS PAY Em G
WHEN THERES TOO MANY WORDS
WITH TOO LITTLE TO SAY D A
WHEN IT’S DRAGGING YOU DOWN,
YOU GOT GIVE IT AWAY Bm G

WHEN YOU LOOK UP AT THE MOUNTAIN
THAT YOUR GONNA HAVE TO CLIMB
SOONER OR LATER ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME
NO MATTER IF YOU GO OR DECIDE TO STAY
WHEN YOUR LOAD IS TOO HEAVY,
YOU GOTTA GIVE IT ALL AWAY

GIVE AWAY YOUR TROUBLES, WHEN THEY MAKE YOUR HEART ACHE Bm G
BEND LIKE A TREE IN THE WIND BEFORE IT BREAKS D A
GIVE AWAY YOUR TROUBLES, BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE Bm G
GIVE IT ALL AWAY IF THATS WHAT IT TAKES Bm A G D

I’VE BEEN ALL OVER THIS COUNTRY, I PASSED THROUGH YOUR TOWN
AND I SEE WHAT WE TRY TO HOLD, IS WHAT DRAGS US DOWN
YOU CAN ALWAYS MAKE A DOLLAR BUT BROTHER CAN YOU SPARE A DIME ?
AND IN YOUR DARKEST HOUR, CAN YOU BUY SOME TIME ?


WHEN WILL WE REALIZE, IT’S THE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE
LIKE A CANDLE THATS BURNING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
I’LL LEAVE YOU WITH THIS QUESTION BEFORE WE GO OUR WAY
WHAT ARE YOU HOLDING, THAT YOU NEED TO GIVE AWAY

In the last few years the fire has been lit, and those songs are roaring into life. His unique style, rhythms and subject matter combine to create an exciting new and original voice in the Canadian folk music scene. ... more
