Proud Souls Jason Boland & The Stragglers
This is the way I play it, it's how I seen Jason play it live also, so I'd say it's
I'm also going to post an instructional video on my YouTube channel, just search my user
Amonsiball proud souls how to. There's an old video of me playing and singing it, but I
a capo cause I didn't know as much back then so I'm going to post a strictly how to of
tab and I'll show how to do some of the picking patterns and hammer-ons Jason uses. RATE

I [A]got drunk by mys[E]elf last night.
T[F#m]hey say its no way to ma[D]ke things right
I [A]just didnt have an[E]ything better[D] to do
Th[A]e dog was asleep on the [E]living room rug and
I[F#m] watched a show about c[D]rime and drugs
Fi[A]nished a bottle of [E]bourbon until it was [A]through
(verse 2 - same chord pattern)
I dont care that I can?t sleep
I?d just as soon stay up all week
I might get some things done while others dream
The heater broke and the room got cold
And my knees and ankles say I?m gettin? older
The phone finally rang but it wasn?t for me
Chorus:
If e[C#m]veryone was t[D]ogether
I guess [A]no one would be [D]alone
[F#]Life?s a lot of t[E]rade offs in the [A]end
[C#m]Somewhere in the f[D]ields of heather
The [A]proud souls laugh and they lo[D]ve together
S[F#]omewhere between p[E]assion and losing fr[A]iends
Verse 3-( same as verse 1&2)
Sleep finally came but I woke up alone
My head was next to the telephone
I gave the sun a cussin? as I drew the shades
One thing that always seems true
That?s when I?m hung over the sky is blue
A rough night for me will make a hell of a day
And I believe in ghosts and democracy
And that each man should leave his legacy
Be that mans work great or be it small
I don?t believe in everything like
The designated hitter or that diamond rings
Will make love last forever for one and all
(chorus)
[C#m]Cause if everyone should be t[D]ogether
Wh[A]y are some many left a[D]lone
[F#]Life?s a lot of t[E]rade offs in t[A]he end
[C#m]Somewhere in the f[D]ields of heather
Th[A]e proud souls laugh and they l[D]ove together
[F#]Somewhere between [E]passion and losing[A] friends
[F#]Somewhere between [E]passion and losing [D]friends
Outro: A,E,F#,D,A,E,A,D,A
