I'd Rather Be A Lonesome Pine as recorded by Blue Highway


Capo 2nd Fret

(D) I'd rather be a fox with the hunters on his trail
I'd rather be an old dog left to (C) stray (A) 
(D) I'd rather have no one to come home to
Than to live in (C) love hurtin' day (A) after (D) day

Chorus 
I'd rather be a lonesome pine way out on the ridge
All alone blowin' in the wind and (G) rain
I'd (D) rather be a homeless man 
Sleepin' underneath a railroad bridge
Than to love a (C) woman who (A) only brings you (D) pain

Instrumental Break – Follow pattern of  chorus

(D) The farmer offers life and labor to the land
With a gentle hand he tends the fertile (C) ground (A) 
(D) And in the golden fields at harvest time
I offered you my (C) heart but you (A) turned me (D) down

Chorus
