"Pearls and Swine"
Drunken Prayer
Written by Morgan C. Geer
E B
Where the sweet magnolia grows there's a river bend I know
E E7 A
Where time ain't nothing to kill
E B
It's a crazy river. It shakes and shivers.
A E
It's a want that never will
E B
Mona took a bus to Las Vegas in a rush.
E E7 A
When she could not stand the rain.
E B
In a fit of passion, culture clashing
A E
The sunshine turned to rain.
Chorus 1:
B E
Now she sits and she wonders
B E E7
"How'd I get so far under?"
A E
Oh, the spell of wasted youth
G# A
wasted time and that's the truth
E B E A E
Oh lord I've cast my pearls before the swine.
solo break:
E B E E7 A E B A G# B E
E
You can ramble you can roam
B
Disassemble and disown
E E7 A
You can take back everything you've had to say.
E B
But who can run from number 1?
A E
Oh to live is to obey.
Chorus 2
B E
Now I sit and I wonder
B E E7
"How'd I get so far under?"
A E
Oh, the spell of wasted youth
G# A
wasted time and that's the truth
E B C#m B A
Oh lord I've cast my pearls before the swine.
E B E A E
Good God I've cast my pearls before the swine.
