One of these days    (video)

1. I won't have to chop no wood,

                    A       D              A

    I can be bad or I can be good,

                   A       D             A                         E

    I can be any way that I feel, one of these days.

                         A

    Might be a woman that's dressed in black,

                  A             D           A

    be a hobo by the railroad track,

                A                   D            A      E                   A

    I'll be gone like the wayward wind one of these days.

 

   A7                 D              E               A                        - A7

One of these days it will soon be all over, cut and dry,

       D                         A                     B7              E    - B7 - E

and I won't have this urge to go all bottled up inside.

                        D                  E                  A     D       A

One of these days I'll look back, and I'll say I left in time,

                          D             A                        E            A

’cause somewhere for me I know there's peace of mind.

2. I might someday walk across this land,

                          A               D         A

    carrying the Lord's book in my hand,

                               A                     D            A                          E

    goin' cross the country singin' loud as I can, one of these days.

                          A                D          A

    And I won't have trouble on my back,

                             A                  D         A

    cuttin' like the devil with a choppin' axe,

                  A         D        A      E                   A

    got to shake it off my back, one of these days.

 

   A7                 D              E               A                         - A7

One of these days it will soon be all over, cut and dry,

and I won't have this urge to go all bottled up inside.

’cause somewhere for me I know there's peace of mind.

 

                                     D                       A      E                  A     - D - A

+  There's gonna be peace of mind for me, one of these days.
