Transcribed by Mike Frazer Miracle Man (From Self-titled album, "Smokin' Armadillos") Performed by the Smokin' Armadillos Written by Greg Barnhill ©1996 Curb Records Intro: G D-Em G D-Em G D Well the miracle man came to Louisian' sellin' potions from a jar Em He claimed he could cure anything from a fever to a scar D C All the townsfolk gathered 'round to see Em C D As he cast his spell of wonder over everyone but me (same chords) You see, the miracle man was Dapper Dan full of eloquence and grace And I could tell his charm was workin' by that look on mama's face She was buyin' more than meets the eye Because she left me and my daddy without even a goodbye Chorus: D C G Daddy cried, for forty days and forty nights D C G And so did I, from the emptiness inside Em C Even though I wasn't old enough to understand Em C D G Whatever happened to my mama and that miracle man (repeat Intro) Verse #2(Same chords as verse 1): Well the years went by and one day I went ridin' in to town I came upon a commotion, there were people gathered round Out in front of Emma Parker's place Stood the man who stole my mama and my daddy face to face Well my daddy stepped up to him and he drew his forty-five With both hands on that trigger, stuck it right between his eyes And when I thought he'd send him to the grave Suddenly, without a word, he just turned and walked away Chorus #2: How I tried, as we were ridin' home that night To figure why, my dad would put away his pride When he knew he had the power in his hand To put a round of justice in that miracle man Verse #3: Later on that night he came and sat upon my bed And said, "Son, there are some reasons why that demon isn't dead The good book says you reap the seeds you sow But if you turn the other cheek you'll find the way the righteous go For if I woulda shot him, they'da put me in a cage And I wouldn't be around here now to watch you come of age And an orphan life can turn a boy to stone Son I love you far too much to watch you face this world alone" Chorus #3: And in my mind, at that moment of light I came to find, that everything he said was right And for the first time I could truly understand Why my daddy spared the life of that miracle man And now I'm old enough to understand It was my daddy all along who was the miracle man (repeat Intro and Fade) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Trascription ©1998 Mike Frazer Lyrics and Music ©1996 Curb Records
