None of them
The G in parentheses is sort of a ghost chord. In the song,
he doesnt actually go to a G but if you wanted to, you could
when you play this.
D (G) D
Ike had a lesson from the Lord up above
D A D
He gave him a beautiful woman to love
D (G)
A place to live, and some land to farm
D A D
Two good legs and two good arms
D (G) D
Well, the Devil came sneaking around one night
D A D
Decided he would do a little evil to Ike
D (G) D
Figured he hit old Ike where it'd hurt
D A D
So he filled up all of Ike's wells with dirt
Pre-Chorus:
G D
When Ike came out for his morning drink
A D
He got a dipper full of dirt and his heart did sink
G D G
But he knew it was the Devil, so he said with a grin
D A D
"God blessed me once and He can do it again
D A D
He blessed me once and He can do it again."
Chorus:
G D
So when the rain won't come and the crops all fail
G D
The cows ain't putting any milk in the pail
G D G
Don't sit around waiting for a check in the mail
D A D
Just pick up your shovel and dig another well
D A D
Pick up your shovel and dig another well
Now me and old Ike's got a lot in common
The Lord blessed me with a beautiful woman
Gave me a job, Gave me a home
Gave me a well to call my own
Pre-chorus 2:
When I go out for my morning drink,
And get a dipper full of dirt and my heart does sink
But I think of old Ike, and I have to grin
"God blessed me once, and He can do it again,
He blessed me once, and He can do it again."
Chorus
