[Verse 1]
Dm C Dm Dm C
I saw all sides of man in New Orleans, sang songs of the old coal mines
Dm C Dm F G
The words we read that night, of the medicine man, gave heed to the changing times
Dm C Dm Dm C
Heard cold winds cry like ghosts of time, all along the Louisiana shore
Dm C Dm F G
And I broke your heart in Arkansas, cause I'm the kind that never learns
[Chorus]
Dm C Dm Dm C
Don't pray for me my angel, pray to the ocean tide
Dm C Dm F G Dm
Cause we've set ourselves for deeper seas; Heaven knows what we will find

Dm C Dm Dm C
Lord give me peace when we find struggle, give me speed of the fox that finds the way
Dm C Dm F G
Give me light to find forgiveness, we both know I'm bound...
Dm C Dm Dm C
To stray from the east, off to the west, from the north to the south
Dm C Dm F G
And I've denied tall tales about my name, but I never had my doubts
[Chorus]
Dm C Dm Dm C
Don't pray for me my angel, pray to the ocean tide
Dm C Dm F G Dm
Cause we've set ourselves for deeper seas; Heaven knows what we will find

No the Lord won't wait, He won't contemplate, He won't wait for me to change my ways

No the Lord won't wait, He won't contemplate, He won't wait for me to change my ways
F G
And He don't care...
N.C.
If I beg from the hilltops
[Chorus]
Dm C Dm Dm C
Don't pray for me my angel, pray to the ocean tide
Dm C Dm F G
Cause we've set ourselves for deeper seas; Heaven knows what we...
[Chorus]
Dm C Dm Dm C
Don't pray for me my angel, pray to the ocean tide

Cause we've set ourselves for deeper seas; Heaven knows what we will find
