Laura Veirs- The Ballad Of John Vogelin
CAPO 3rd fret

						   
I survived the desperate toll dark depression takes
			
I may not break even but babe I'll never break 
							
Golden coins and smiles no they cannot tip my scales
			 
Cuz this land, this love will never be for sale

						
Brass hats and soldier boys whiskey on your breath
			 
Drop your holy missiles you can take my body dead
											
Send me all your lightning storms your thunderheads and hail
			 
Cuz this land, this love will never be for sale

   
(Yodeling)

							
Wild eyes they watch on me through the velvet night
			 
Fire on the mountain you can burn me where I lie
						     
Even though I'm dead now as an old and rusty nail
			 
This land, this love will never be for sale

						     
Even though I'm dead now as an old and rusty nail
			 
This land, this love will never be for sale
