You Know The Rest Chords & Lyrics - Steve Earle

[INTRO]
[G] [C] [D] [G]

[VERSE 1]

[G]Moses went up to the mountain

To see what he could see

Well he come down talking 'bout a burning bush
Says '[C]This is how it's gonna be'
He's scared to [D]death
You know the [G]rest

[VERSE 2]

[G]Columbus went down to the ocean

In 1492

He said 'Boys, I'm looking for India
But [C]America will do'
Sailed to the [D]west
You know the [G]rest [C] [D] [G]

[VERSE 3]

[G]Davey Crockett went out to Texas

To fight at the Alamo

Old Will Travis never told him
[C]Texas is in Mexico
It's a bloody [D]mess
You know the [G]rest

[VERSE 4]

[G]Robert Johnson went down to the crossroads

A guitar in his hands

Well, the devil had him a guitar, too
He says '[C]This is what you need man,
You can be the [D]best'
You know the [G]rest [C] [D] [G]

[VERSE 5]

[G]Well this song ain't got no reason

Hell this song barely rhymes

Well it come to me when I was asleep
And it [C]wakes me up sometimes
I can't get no [D]rest
You know the [G]rest [C] [D] [G]
