Em
(Walk to G between the Em and A chords)
Em
I've always been a religious man,
A
I've always been a religious man
Em
But I met the banker and it felt like sin
AEm
He turned my bailout down
Em
The Banker Man, he let into me
A
Let into me, let into me
Em
The Banker Man, he let into me
AEm
And spread my name around
Em
He thinks I ain't got a lick of sense
A
'Cause I talk slow and my money's spent
Em
Now, I ain't the type to hold it against
AEm
But he better stay off my farm
Em
'Cause it was my Daddy's and his Daddy's before
A
And his Daddy's before and his Daddy's before
Em
Five generations and an unlocked door
AEm
And a loaded burglar alarm.

Lots of pictures of my purdy family
A
Lots of pictures of my purdy family
Em
Lots of pictures of my purdy family
AEm
In the house where I was born.
Em
House has stood through five tornadoes,
A
Droughts, floods, and five tornadoes.
Em
I'd rather wrestle an alligator
AEm
Than to face the Banker's scorn
Em
'Cause he won't even look me in the eye
A
He just takes my land and apologize,
Em
With pen, paper, and a friendly smile
AEm
He says the deed is done.
Em
The sound you hear is my Daddy spinning
A
The sound you hear is my Daddy spinning
Em
The sound you hear is my Daddy spinning
AEm
Over what the Banker done.

EmD
Think I'll invite him for some pot roast beef
C
And mashed potatoes and sweet tea
Em
Follow it up with some banana pudding
F
And a walk around the farm
Em
Show him the view from McGee Town Hill
A
Let him stand in my shoes and see how it feels
Em
To lose the last thing on earth that's real
AEm
I'd rather lose my legs and arms
Em
Bury his body in the old sink hole
A
Bury his body in the old sink hole
Em
Bury his body in the old sink hole
AEm
Under cold November sky
Em
Then damned if I wouldn't go to church on Sunday
A
Damned if I wouldn't go to church on Sunday
Em
Damned if I wouldn't go to church on Sunday
AEm
And look the Preacher in the eye.
