   one man's temper might rise
             G                          D
   while the other man's temper might freeze
                                       G
   in the days of long confessions we cannot mock a soul
                 A                   G              D

2. Too much of nothin' can make a man abuse a king

   but when it's too much of nothin' nobody should look.

   the other man to eat fire

   but when it's too much of nothin' it just makes a fella mean.
R:
