A bit tricky to get the timing down and sing, but sounds awsome on a slightly
overdriven guitar, or an acoustic.
Play it in Barre chords it is easier and sounds better.
I tried to give direction as to what fret to play barre at that sounds best to me,
experement and let me know.
Go see him live... will make a fan out of a critic..

Weeds in the Wheat-live at the Grey Eagle
God bless the man who stumbles
God bless the man who falls
(at 8)
God bless the man who yields to temptation
God bless the woman who suffers
God bless the woman who weeps
God bless the children trying her patience
(at 6)
Trouble getting over it is what you’re in for
So pour yourself another
(at6) (bar at 11) (bar at 9)
‘Cause it’ll take a steady pair of hands
Holy or unholy ghost
Well now I can’t tell
But either way you cut it
You should get some distance if you plan
To take a stand
God bless the house divided
God bless the weed in the wheat
(bar at 2)
God bless the lamp lit under a bushel
(bar at8)
I discovered hell to be the poison in the well
(at3)
So I tried to warn the others of the curse
(bar at 8)
But then my body turned on me
I dreamt that for eternity my family would burn
(bar at 10)
Then I awoke, with a wicked thirst
Verse Chords with woah woahs
By my baby’s yellow bed I kissed her forehead
And rubbed her little tummy
And wondered if she’ll soon despise the smell
Of the booze on my breath, like her mom
Through a darkened mirror I have seen my own reflection
And it makes me want to be a better man
After another drink
God bless the man at the crossroads
God bless the woman who still can’t sleep
God bless the history that doesn’t repeat
