Am F Am F Am F Em F
Am F Am F Am F Em F
[Verse 1]
Am F Am
Early years were a shroud man
F Am F Am
Only a grey cloud shot in the dark
F Am
Hanging out with your dad
F Am
His plans for revenge
F Am F Am F
In some hick-town caravan park
[Chorus]
Em F Em
Never keep a good one
F Em
Never keep a good one
F Am
Never keep a good one down
[Instrumental]
F Am F Am F Em F
Am F Am F Am F Em F
[Verse 2]
Am F Am
Early years were a dreadnought
F Am
Waiting to tread board
F Am
And my work down the pan
F Am
Hanging round by the back door
F Am
One foot in the stage door
F Am F Am F
Some disaffected fly-by-man
[Chorus]
Em F Em
Never keep a good one
F Em
Never keep a good one
F Am
Never keep a good one down
[Instrumental]
F Am F Am F Em F
Am F Am F Am F Em F
Em F Em F Em F
Am F Am F Am F Em F
Ts-tshhh ts-tshhh ts-tshhh
Am F Am F Am F Em F
Ts-tshhh ts-tshhh ts-tshhh
[Verse 3]
Am F Am
Got wired by a cable
F Am
Got wild on a table
F Am
Scared the shit out of me
F Am
Oh, all for the free state
F Am
The snow and the greasepaint
F Am F Am F
I left the singing family
[Chorus]
Em F Em
Never keep a good one
F Em
Never keep a good one
F Am
Never keep a good one down
