Dreams of plenty

VERSE
G
I have not had no work now in over 4 months
C
And all of my savings are gone

G
And save as I might, there is no end in sight
C
For I have no more wages to come

CHORUS
C
How long will it take?
How long must I wait?
D
Til’ fortune it favours the brave

VERSE
I left of my own ‘cord a foolish mistake
The wind blowin’ was not like this then

I'll travel and find it
If there is no kind there like it
When fortune it favours the brave

CHORUS
How long will it take?
How long must I wait?
Til’ fortune it favours the brave

VERSE
My tread it is light, no print left in sight
I float through this land twas my home

A drifter I’ve become, no sane man’s son
A borrower in a stranger’s land

CHORUS
How long will it take?
How long must I wait?
Til’ fortune it favours the brave

VERSE
I’ve heard of a place where the locals are lazy
And the fruit just fall from the tree

I’ll travel and find it, I come to define it
Where all the chance takers are brave

CHORUS
How long must I walk?
How much must I talk?
Til’ fortune it favours the brave

Debt train

Chords: Fm G# Cm Fm

Here’s my tale of wow
My elation at excess
I hereby state it for the record
And confess my success

I did buy now pay later
I went on a credit run
And for the benefit of being
I got two for one

I borrowed more than I’ve got
To buy more than I need
That cut don’t heal well
This sucker bleeds

I’m going to go to the casino
And win my way back
To get out of the red
I’ll put it all on black

[Experimental instrumental]

I blame it on the mailman
I curse his children
For first the mail orders
And then the orders in the mail

The slope is more slippery
The lower I get
For another day older
I go a week in debt

I don’t see an end to this
Long tunnel of pain
And the light at the end of it
Turned out to be a train

When you’re standin’ in a hole
And all you’re holdin’ is a spade
The only thing you’ve got left to do
Is to dig yourself a grave
