D7 G C
C
I'm a regular guy
A7
with regular appetites
D7 G
and trouble has no trouble finding me
C
even when I try to do right
C
But I try to do right
A7
and I try to do even better
D7 G
But trouble doubles back around
C
with a drink and low cut sweater
C
I wanna be a saint
A7
like Mother Theresy
D7 G
Like Francis of Assisi
C
But brother it ain't that easy
ch:
C
I wanna be a saint
E7
But I is what I is and I ain't what I ain't
A7
the road of life gets twisted
when you're tryin' to walk it straight
D7
and that's hard for me
G
cause sin comes easy
C G7
to this wannabe saint
It's hard to be a saint
that's a tough row to hoe, honey
it's tricky walkin' the high road
when you're trippin' over women and booze and money
The seven deadly sins
all know me by my first name, brother
All along I've known right from wrong
but I can't do one when I'm doing the other
so we do what we do what we do
and we hope that we don't blow it
cuz talkin' the talk is easy
but walkin' the walk that's some might hard goin'
yeah walkin' the walk that's some might hard goin'
Please let me know when you tackle one of my tunes, so I can brag about it.
And if you want to record any of this material, please contact Miss Juli.
