CHORDS
(played through out lyrics as the changes are written. play the rests by muting
the strings directly at the end of the note preceding the rest. you might want to
cut the preceding note a little bit short)
(these probably don't have to be played exactly correct, or as they're written, so as
long as you follow the changes it'll probably be fine)

Dm Fmaj7 C
IÂ’ve seen a rich man beg IÂ’ve seen a good man sin IÂ’ve seen a tough man cry

IÂ’ve seen a loser win and a sad man grin I heard an honest man lie
Dm Fmaj7 C
I seen the good side of bad and the down side of up and everything between
Dm Fmaj7 C
I licked the silver spoon drank from the golden cup and smoked the finest green
Dm Fmaj7 C
I stroked the baddest dimes at least a couple times before I broke they heart
Dm Fmaj7 C
You know where it ends Yo it usually depends on where you start

Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
I knew this kid named Max who used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
Fmaj7 C Dm

Fmaj7 C Dm
He pulled out his chrome forty-five talked some shit and wound up dead
Fmaj7 C Dm
And now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of his pain
Fmaj7 C Dm
You know it crumbles that way at least thatÂ’s what they say when you play the game

ALTERNATE CHORD TABLATURE
The following are three more ways you can play the chord changes through out the song.
They are each a bit more simple than the version listed at the beginning. In actuality
all four of these version are played at different points in the song. I have not tabbed
out every place they occur in the song because of how much space it would take up. You can
play any or all them because they match the song and don't need to be exact. Just hit the
changes on time.

Throughout each verse and chorus the Dm at the end of each line (between lyrics) can be
played either of these ways (not sure which is right, but I like the second one better)-
