Powers That Be

[Intro ]
E 



[Verso 1]
 
E 
I drop a dollar in the offering plate 
     A 
Give Uncle Sam his due 
E                                                A 
Pull string push with a half dull blade keeps my front yard grass down to two inches 
E 
View's real nice from the bottom 
       A 
Little piece of land, pretty girl to hold 
          E                                                    A 
And naw I ain't got the problems that you're gonna find at the top of the totem pole 
 


[Refrão]
 
        E 
There's power in ice-cold beer 
        A                   E 
There's power in love sweet love 
                                                                 E 
The way it works down here is you can't hold down what you ain't above 
E 
I might be sitting here blowing smoke 
      A                      E 
Broke as a joke but lord I'm free 
                                                      E 
And that's a power that is higher than the powers that be 
 


[Verso 2]
 
E 
I try to practice what I preach 
     A 
Live my own way of life 
          E 
There's a whole lot out of my reach 
      A 
But I got a nice handle on a Friday night 
        E 
If your crown gets too heavy 
         A 
Light it up with a splash of Coke 
            E                                            A 
But now the real deal trick is not trying to fix all the little things that just ain't broke 
 


[Refrão]
 
        E 
There's power in ice-cold beer 
        A                   E 
There's power in love sweet love 
                                                                 E 
The way it works down here is you can't hold down what you ain't above 
E 
I might be sitting here blowing smoke 
      A                      E 
Broke as a joke but lord I'm free 
                                                      E 
And that's a power that is higher than the powers that be
