The Poor Ditching Boy chords

[VERSE]
Was there [A]ever a winter so cold and so sad
With the river too weary to [D]flood
The [A]stormy wind cut through to my skin
But [D]she cut [E]through to my [A]blood [D]

[VERSE]
I was [A]looking for trouble to tangle my line
But trouble come a-looking for [D]me
I [A]knew I was standing on treacherous ground
But I was [D]sinking too [E]fast to run [A]free

[CHORUS]
With her [D]schem[Bm]ing, [A]idle [E]ways
She [D]left me [Bm]poor e[A]nough
[A]The storming wind cut through to my skin
But [D]she cut [E]through to me [A]blo[Bm]od..[E] ..

[VERSE]
[A]Now I would not be asking, I would not be seen
Either begging on a mountain or [D]hill
'Til I’m [A]ready and I’m blind, with my arms tied behind
But I’ve [D]neither a [E]mind nor a [A]will [D]

[VERSE]
Oh, it’s [A]bitter the need of the poor ditching boy
For he’ll always believe what they [D]say
But they [A]tell him it’s hard to be honest and true
Does he [D]mind that he [E]doesn’t get [A]paid?

[CHORUS]
With her [D]schem[Bm]ing, [A]idle [E]ways
She [D]left me [Bm]poor e[A]nough
[A]The storming wind cut through to my skin
But [D]she cut [E]through to me [A]blood
