It's A Funny Old World ~ original blues by me

It's a funny old world.

harp intro

It's a [G] funny old world and sometimes I get blue. (high echo)
It's a [C] funny old world and some times I get blue. (LOW echo)
Mmmm mmmm mmm

I went to (G) bed last night trouble on my mind.
I went to (C) bed last night trouble on my [G] mind,
I [D] could not sleep weren't [C] no use in [G] trying.

I went out the door and walked on down the road. (x2)
Sometimes life... is a heavy load.

I went down the road and sure did feel like crying.
I went down the road and wouldn't have minded dying.
But momma raised me... to keep on trying.

I got down on my knees and told my troubles to the Lord. (x2)
And pretty soon I felt him lighten my load. Harp Verse

It's a funny old world and sometimes I get blue. (x2)
But when I tell it to the Lord and he gets me through.

True for me, RTZ.  Prayer helps, but some time there is a tough lag time before the results come.

Thanks, T-Gripped.

We all have a 120lbs. pack on going up hill so eventually we will all need to take a Knee.
