[Verse 1]
                            Em                         G
Oh, won't you listen to my story, I gotta a tale to tell,
                     Em                                  B7
About a man who gets caught somewhere between heaven and hell
                  C                          G    D7/F#
Yeah the man's in anguish I guess you could say
       C    G/B    B7     Em
There ain't no   easy   way
 
 
[Verse 2]
               Em                                  G
Oh, when I was young boy I learned to play the guitar
                        Em                     B7
It was me and old Jimmy Beam down at the local bar
                   C                         G  D7/F#
Yeah I lost my childhood but I earned me a trade
       C     G/B    B7     Em
There ain't  no   easy   way
 
 
[Verse 3]
              Em                         G
I found me a woman I gave her heart and soul
                 Em                                    B7
I nearly lost my mind through it all, yeah she took control
               C                             G   D7/F#
She gave me a baby child   then she took it away
       C     G/B   B7     Em
There ain't  no   easy   way
 
 
[Verse 4]
                      Am                         Em
Well, I prayed to the father to the moon and the sun
               Am                                      Em
I prayed to anyone or anything that could get the job done
                  Am   C                        G   D7/F#
I hear different voices but the words are  the same
       C     G/B   B7     Em
There ain't  no   easy   way
 
 
[Verse 5]
               Em                                  G
I went to this doctor to see what my trouble might be
                         Em                                         B7
And I was staring at the bottom of his shoe while he was looking at me
                      C                           G   D7/F#
We both sat there in silence but what I wanted to say

[Outro]
                    Em                    G
Now when it's all over and my grave you stand
                                Em                        B7
Try to think of something good to say, about this no good man
                C                             G   D7/F#
Please do me a favor won't you write on my grave
       C     G/B   D7/F#
There ain't  no   easy   way
       C     G/B   D7/F#
There ain't  no   easy   way
       C     G/B   B7    Em
There ain't  no   easy   way
