[Verse 1]
D
Skipper and his wife traveled all their life
G D
Leaving their friends to wonder
D
For many long days and a many long year
[Chorus]
G D
They turned to one another
D Bm
And they cried,
D G D
All I had, in this world done gone
[Verse 2]
D
Sitting on a hillside, a moon lit night
G D
A young girl and her lover
D
For may long hour till it come sunrise
[Chorus 1]
G D
They turned to one another
Bm
And they're cryin',
D G D
All I had, in this world done gone
[Verse 3]
D
The old man with the money in his hand
G D
Lookin' for a place to hide

Along comes a a young man, gun in his hand
[Chorus 2]
G D
And they both sat down and cried,
Bm
And they're cryin',
D G D
All I had, in this world done gone
[Verse 4]
D
Well, gettin' ahead is harder than you think
G D
But gettin behind is easy.
D
When everyone is going for the same damn thing,
[Chorus 3]
G D
Gettin' behind is easy
Bm
And your crying,
D G D
All I had, in this world done gone
[Verse 5]
D
Nothing in your hands, nothing in your head
G D
All you got is to borrow
D
Nothing in your hands is how you feel today
[Chorus 4]
G D
And there is nothing in your head tomorrow
Bm
And your crying,
D G D
All I had, in this world done gone
