Deliver your children

written and performed by Paul McCartney
from "London Town", 1978
transcribed by Peter Eybert 

(Capo 5, preferably 12-string)

Well, the rain was a-falling and the ground turned to     mud
I was watching all the people running from the flood
So I started to prayin' though I ain't no prayin'   man
for the Lord to come a helpin' knowing he'd understand.

Deliver your children to the good good life
give 'em peace and shelter and a fork and knife
shine a light in the morning and a light at night
and if a thing goes wrong you'd better make it right.

Well, I had me a woman, she was good and clean
she spent all day with the washing machine
but when it came to lovin' she was never around

Well, I was low on money and my truck broke down
I was on my way to the lost and found
so I took it to a dealer, I said make it run
well, I ain't got no money, but I got me a gun.

I said you robbed me before so I'm robbing you  back
and if it don't put you straight it'll put you on the right track
well, I ain't no devil and I ain't no   saint
but I can tell a dealer by the color of his paint.

If you want good eggs you gotta feed that  hen
and if you wanna hear some more
well, I'll sing it again.
