He says there's a job I gotta do

Father forgive me I never knew
        G        D                 A    A7
I never saw that comin, no I never do
  D                 G        D
I bow my head and I say your name
G           D         A      Bm
 I'm just a pawn in a bigger game
G           D         A      D

       D                          G       D
Well I had me some friends with a big old band
          G            D       A            A7
They were lookin for a fiddler and his hand
     D                         G       D
They had all the girls and the cocaine too
    G      D                 A     Bm
Got out my rig and showed'em all I knew
G           D             A     D
Took out my fiddle played all I knew
      G                          D
Never got that gig even though I tried
          G       D       A               A7
Well it's just as well, I might have died
D                    G         D
Things aren't always what they seem
         G         D           A         Bm
When you walk in a fog and you live in a dream
    G         D           A         D
You walk in a fog and you live in a dream, that's me

G                          D
Father forgive me I never knew
        G        D                 A    A7
I never saw that comin, no I never do
          D               G        D
I'm gonna bow my head and say your name
G       D         A      Bm
 Just a pawn in a bigger game
G           D         A      D
 I'm just a pawn in a bigger game

Little bee buzzin around a flower
Has no idea it's his finest hour
Has no idea about the greater scheme
He's just suckin up nectar for the queen
Suckin up nectar for the queen
And that first time you spoke to me
I couldn't know how big our love could be
Who knew how far love could go
Where it ends we'll never know
Where it ends we'll never know

G                          D
Father forgive me I never knew
        G        D                 A    A7
I never saw that comin, no I never do
          D               G        D
I'm gonna bow my head and say your name
G       D         A      Bm
 Just a pawn in a bigger game
G           D         A      D
 I'm just a pawn in a bigger game
