The Habit chords by Don Edwards


Don Edwards Chords


The Habit 
Poem by Berton Braley,  Music & additional Lyrics by Don Edwards 
Transcribed and Submitted by: Brian McNeal (kc7rcc@netscape.net)

Note: 
Don Edwards actually has two different versions of this song.  This 
version is from the Don Edwards/West of Yesterday CD and varies from 
the earlier version on his "Chant of the Wanderer" CD in that he has 
written the chorus which makes the song sound more commercial.

Rich O'Brien: Acoustic Guitar/Mandolin/6-string Banjo 
Tom Morrell: Slide Resonator Guitar 
Randy Elmore: Fiddle

The Habit 
Poem by Berton Braley,  Music & additional Lyrics by Don Edwards

   C               G   F              C 
I beat my way wherever any winds have blown 
     F                 C        G           C 
I've bummed along from Portland down to San Antone 
      C            G       F               C 
From Shady Hook to Frisco, over plains and hills 
    F                C      G                   C 
For once you get the Habit, you just can't keep still

C                  G      F                 C 
I've seen a lot of places where I'd like to stay 
  F                 C        G             C 
I gets to feelin' restless, then I'm on my way 
       C              G       F               C 
I was never meant for sittin' on my own door sill 
    F                C      G                   C 
For once you get the Habit, you just can't keep still

Chorus 
  F     C             G - G 
I ride wherever the wind blows 
    F         C          G - G 
I'm driftin' like a tumbleweed 
     F     C        Am     G 
I'm just a wanderin troubador 
  F           G               C 
A song and my guitar is all I need

     C                  G      F                 C 
I've been in rich men's houses and I've been in jail 
    F                  C       G                C 
And when its time for leavin', I just hits the trail 
      C             G       F              C 
I'm a human bird of passage and the song I trill 
   F                C      G                   C 
Is once you get the Habit, you just can't keep still

       C               G       F               C 
Now the sun is sort of coaxin' and the road is clear 
        F               C       G                 C 
And the wind is singin' ballads that I just gotta hear 
   C               G     F                  C 
It ain't no use to argue when you feel the thrill 
    F                C      G                    C 
For once you get the Habit, you just can't keep still

REPEAT CHORUS TWICE  Repeat last line of chorus
