Wayward And Down
by Cory Branan

            E           A           E
Wayward and down, Lord, wayward and down
             E       F#5         B
I can't help falling wayward and down
             E                  A
sweet is the apple, dark is the town
             E       B           E
I can't help falling wayward and down

     A         E       A        E
Born under the sign of original sin
     A         E         E              B
born into this mess of a shape that I'm in
A         E         A        E
never had no one to show me around
A            E       B           E
just made my own way wayward and down

            E           A           E
Wayward and down, Lord, wayward and down
             E       F#5         B
I can't help falling wayward and down
             E                  A
sweet is the apple, dark is the town
             E       B           E
I can't help falling wayward and down

A            E                A          E
Heaven's the next town with a girl and a bar
      A           E      E          B
never followed me any particular star
           A         E       A                   E
they say I aimlessly wander, but I've always been bound
     A            E      B           E
the exact same direction wayward and down

            E           A           E
Wayward and down, Lord, wayward and down
             E       F#5         B
I can't help falling wayward and down
             E                  A
sweet is the apple, dark is the town
             E       B           E
I can't help falling wayward and down

A                  E          A         E
Beneath me the devil on a lily white mare
    A          E                            B
beside me a girl with black bows in her hair
A               E          A            E
above angels plead in a sweet clear sound
     A          E          B           E
that disappears on the way wayward and down

            E           A           E
Wayward and down, Lord, wayward and down
             E       F#5         B
I can't help falling wayward and down
             E                  A
sweet is the apple, dark is the town
             E       B           E
I can't help falling wayward and down

  A             E          A             E
I guess I'll be going, the whiskey's all gone
    A               E       E          B
the crows will give Lola my message at dawn
       A             E          A      E
if she gets lost and lonely I'm easily found
          A                E      B           E
just take the straight and narrow wayward and down
