This is a cover of the Arrested Development song. It's from Punk Goes Crunk. I'm not
a fan of New Found Glory, but I AM a big fan of old school rap. So here it goes:
Intro: G...
G Dadd11
Lord I've really been real stressed
Em7 Cadd9
Down and out, losin ground
G Dadd11
Although I am black and proud
Em7 Cadd9
Problems got me pessimistic
G Dadd11
Brothers and sisters keep messin up
Em7 Dadd11
Why does it have to be so damn tuff?
G Dadd11
I don't know where I can go
Em7 Cadd9
To let these ghosts out of my skull
G Dadd11
My grandmas past, my brothers gone
Em7 Cadd9
I never at once felt so alone
G Dadd11
I know you're supposed to be my steering wheel
Em7 Cadd9
Not just my spare tire
G Dadd11
But lord I ask you
Em7 Cadd9
To be my guiding force and truth
G Cadd9
For some strange reason it had to be
D
He guided me to Tennessee
(Chorus)
G Cadd9
Take me to another place
G Cadd9
Take me to another land
G Cadd9
Make me forget all that hurts me
Em7 D
Let me understand your plan

G Dadd11
Lord it's obvious we got a relationship
Em7 Cadd9
Talkin to each other every night and day
G Dadd11
Although you're superior over me
Em7 Cadd9
We talk to each other in a friendship way
G Dadd11
Then outta nowhere you tell me to break
Em7 Cadd9
Outta the country and into more country
G Dadd11
Past Dyesburg into Ripley
Em7 Cadd9
Where the ghost of childhood haunts me
G Dadd11
Walk the roads my forefathers walked
Em7 Cadd9
Climbed the trees my forefathers hung from
G Dadd11
Asked those trees for all their wisdom
Em7 Cadd9
They tell me my ears are so young
G Dadd11
Go back to from whence you came
Em7 Cadd9
My family tree my family name
G Cadd9
For some strange reason it had to be
D
He guided me to Tennessee
(Chorus)
Bridge: G
G Dadd11
Now I see the importance of history
Em7 Cadd9
Why people be in the mess that they be
G
Many journeys to freedom made in vain
By brothers on the corner playin ghetto games
G Dadd11
I ask you lord why you enlightened me
Em7 Cadd9
Without the enlightment of all my folks
G Dadd11
He said cuz I set myself on a quest for truth
Em7 Cadd9
And he was there to quench my thirst
Em7
But I am still thirsty...
G Dadd11
The lord allowed me to drink some more
Em7 Cadd9
He said what I am searchin for are
G Dadd11
The answers to all which are in front of me
Em7 Cadd9
The ultimate truth started to get blurry
G Cadd9
For some strange reason it had to be
D
It was all a dream about Tennessee
Chorus
End on G
Sweet.
