D D/C# D/B D/AI coulda been a businessman, i was too hot-headed
G G/F# Em7 APlus i never had the money, plus i kinda got arrested
D D/C# D/B D/ABut my sweet old folks thought i'd make a pretty decent one of those
G G/F# Em7 AAnd i still live the kind of life where people judge on your clothes
G A DNow, it's forty miles of backroad on all-terrain tires
G A DThat little blue hymnal sittin' open all the while
G A DSingin' songs to a god i have met but Do not know
G G/F# Em7 AMakin' wages on the critters that we see crossing the road
[Chorus]
G AYeah, the sparrow on the wing taught me to find you
G AAnd the opossum knows his own mind morе than i do
G AI'm here for all the lovе that i can stand
A D D/C# D/B D/ATake me to critterland
G G/F# Em7 A
[Verse 2]
D D/C# D/B D/AIn the decade of our lovin', we've grown to not-so-young
G G/F# Em7 AI've come to know the seasons by the lashing of your tongue
D D/C# D/B D/ABut the propane gently sputters, there's spring water in our tap
G G/F# Em7 AOh, why can't we feel the peace of this sweet dog apon our laps
G A DOh, the granny witch and herbalist have remedies for us
G A DIt's a tincture and a prayer poured down the holler of our guts
G A DOn the homestead in the pine beds, we've grown our holy power
G G/F# Em7 ALaying bare like critters there hour by lovin' hour
[Chorus]
G AYeah, the sparrow on the wing taught me to sing for you
G AAnd the opossum keeps her young close than i do
G AI'm here for all the grief that i can stand
A D D/C# D/B D/ATake me to critterland
G G/F# Em7 A
[Bridge]
G AOh, i never thought i could love like this
D D/C# D/B D/AThey think i'm a queer and a communist
GBut i'll Go along to get along
A DDarlin' it feels so right
G A'cause why have a god if no one is saved
D D/C# D/B D/AI think love is a burden if it isn't brave
GI live and die forever there
A DRight there in that divide
[Verse 3]
D D/C# D/B D/AOh, it's hard to say what i have learned from all these hills and hymns
G G/F# Em7 ABut we're dyin' and we're singin', i love you and we've sinned
D D/C# D/B D/AAnd when marauders come 'cause the apocalypse is nigh
G G/F# Em7 AI want my rifle on my shoulder, my lover by my side
G A DI want to be the kind of man that stands his ground and dies
G A DTake my fiddle and my good hat, i'll Go out in style
G A DI'll Do it all for family, not for glory or a god
G G/F# Em7 AIn the war that's ragin' between the haves and have-nots
[Chorus]
G AOh, the sparrow on the wing taught me to fight for you
G AAnd the opossum keeps her teeth sharper than i do
G AYou can bury me where i make my last stand
A D D/C# D/B D/A G G/F# Em7 AAt the battle of critterland
A D D/C# D/B D/A G G/F# Em7 AAt the battle of critterland
