Beware my good friends of a preacher
Roaming around in our fair land
He’ll reel you in with a fear of sin
And he’ll leave with your dollars in his hand

Oh you might think you’re going to see him singing
You might think you’re going to see him play
But he’s coming to give your brains a cleaning
And he’s leaving with your hard-earned pay
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/daniel_romano/joseph_arthur_crd.html )
Singing down, down, down
Lick him on down
Make him wear that thorny crown
Come along boys and gather around
For the departure of Joseph Arthur

Oh if Jesus ever were to come back
His blood would boil to the brim
But since he ain’t around
And old Arthur’s in town
We’re going to have to do the good work for him

So if you ever see old Arthur
Remember on the sorry souls that bought him
If that man walks on the stage
And sings Amazing Grace
Cover your ears, or you’ll leave with empty pockets

Singing down, down, down
Lick him on down
Make him wear that thorny crown
Come along boys and gather around
For the departure of Joseph Arthur

Intro

D-A-D-A-D-A-C#m-F#m

I got trampled by my woman
I been cheated and double-crossed
There was a coup in the alter
I had a friend but he got lost

Chorus:
They say time can take the pain away
Because time changes everything
But time forgot to change my heart
Yes time forgot to change my heart

He took my woman into the country
And they had a baby girl
And she grew to look just like me
It?s a mean and wicked world

So I took a train into that country
And I found their little shack
I went to drink until the sunset
And in the darkness I came back

Chorus
They say time can take the pain away
Because time changes everything
But time forgot to change my heart
Yes time forgot to change my heart

Outside their window I was creeping
Wicked thoughts they filled my mind
And as my old friends lay there sleeping
I snuck in from behind

I knelt down by my baby?s bedside
And I grazed her lily face
Please listen to your mother dear
For your father is a disgrace

Chorus
She said time can take the pain away
Because time changes everything
But time forgot to change my heart
Yes time forgot to change my heart

[C/G]But since then I haven’t hurt as I once did.

[C/G]The first time that I held her I started cry—[C/G]ing

for I wanted that embrace to n[C/G]ever end.

So walk by my side in the [C/G]star tinted light.

[C/G]Let the look upon my face tell you [C/G]more than I could say.

Stand with me here until the [C/G]sun can make it clear

[C/G]how much brighter I can shine just kn[C/G]owing that you’re mine.

You know I love to talk about the day I found [C/G]you,

[C/G]And reflect upon your presence on that night.

[C/G]For in that room I shed my skin and started li—[C/G]ving

I’m so glad to know our love will n[C/G]ever end.

So walk by my side in the [C/G]star tinted light.

[C/G]Let the look upon my face tell you [C/G]more than I could say.

Stand with me here until the [C/G]sun can make it clear

[C/G]how much brighter I can shine just kn[C/G]owing that you’re mine.

In a sailing boat I see her, so vivid I could scream.
There’s a storm on the horizon and she’s far away at sea.
And in the dream I try to tell her as she falls down at her knees.
Please do not forget me, my loving wife Louise.

Solo (Same progression as the first verse)

And I wish that I could feel her soft breath against my face.
But I’ll meet her when the sun goes down in another time and space.
And on the shore we’ll stand together until she leaves me for the sea.
She’s still there when I need her, my loving wife Louise.

In a sailing boat I see her, so vivid I could scream.
There’s a storm on the horizon and she’s far away at sea.
And in the dream I try to tell her as she falls down at her knees.
Please do not forget me, my loving wife Louise.
Please do not forget me, my loving wife Louise.

Eminor C G

The trees blow their own leaves

Spreading their seeds to the prairies

As will a woman who’s lost in her world

Know what she came for and know what she could

The ocean has no ebb or flow

It rolls itself to the shore

As will a man if he tries know he can

Make a good life with his head and his hands [G/B]

Never a forced smile from the sun in the sky

Never the same cloud as it passes by

As the earth takes shape as so should I

The weary are weary for they always ask “Why?”

The rainstorm creates it’s own darkness

Then washes away all the Devil’s own luck

As will a woman who’s living in pain

Be freed of the heartache she once did contain

A blue-bird never sings too blue

Soaring peacefully through wide open skies

As will a man who’s lost his true love

Be freed of the sorrow he suffers thereof [G/B]

Never a forced smile from the sun in the sky

Never the same cloud as it passes by

As the air takes shape as so should I

The weary are weary for they always ask “Why?” [D-Dsus2-D]

On the quiet night I met you the wind swam through your hair
It was dancing at my eyelids and I know you [C/B]saw me there
I was standing in the lowlight as you sang i[C/B]nto the room
and I was lonely as a tombstone you were holy as a tomb

On the night I met your lover he held his body close
He knew my bones were howling but I blamed it on a ghost
I chose my words like sunday dress my truth could not be found
But the truth is I will take his love and lay her body down

(Violin Solo for one verse)

On the frigid night I met you I tried to hold my tongue
My body was evoked with the weakness of the young
I felt our heat connecting through the thick haze of the room
I was lonely as a tombstone you were holy as a tomb

On the night I left my lover he held his head down low
My skin was cold and silver but I blamed it on the snow
I slept beside the fire but the warmth will not be found
Till you take me in your sun kissed arms and lay my body down

I’m trying to find the [C/G]bright part of your story
But it [C/G]leaves me with the feeling of d[C/G]efeat
And yes I know its really [C/G]not my place to worry
But you got too close, you [C/G]got too close to me

And now I’ve gotta [C/G]tell you that I’ve never been more disappointed
I’ve gotta [C/G]show you, that every time you fall behind it breaks my heart
So it’s time somebody got hard on you (time somebody got hard on you)
Yes it’s time somebody got hard on you.

It’s not for you, but for the ones that love you
Me I’m not one but I love the ones that do
And yes I know its really not my place to change it
But I got too close, I got too close to you

And now I’ve gotta tell you that I’ve never been more disappointed
I’ve gotta show you, that every time you fall behind it breaks my heart
So it’s time somebody got hard on you (time somebody got hard on you)
Yes it’s time somebody got hard on you.
It’s time somebody got hard on you.(time somebody got hard on you)
Yes it’s time somebody got hard on you.

Some stranger is with her for the first time tonight
What’s a man to do when he just cant win
And all the voices in my head are saying cry your days away
Why can’t somebody come to me and say,

“Hey Mister don’t let it bring you down a new love can be found
Just open your eyes, it wasn’t meant to be
no not this time around, a new love can be found.

Are they lovers more than we were
I can’t keep it off my mind
Why’s the one I love so well with someone new
And did she ever really love me
Or did she always think it wrong
Just for better or for worse, but not for long

“Hey Mister don’t let it bring you down a new love can be found
Just open up your eyes, it wasn’t meant to be
no not this time around, a new love can be found
It wasn’t meant to be, no not this time around
A new love can be found.
