Proud Souls Jason Boland & The Stragglers
This song is best played finger picked
[A]I got drunk by m[E]yself last night
they [F#m]say it's no way to [D]make things right
A D E FILL
I just didn't have anything better to do.
[A]The dog was asleep on the [E]living room rug and
I [F#m]watched a show about [D]crime and drugs,
[A]Punished a bottle of [E]bourbon until it was [A]through.
[A]I don't care that [E]I can't sleep
I'd [F#M]just as soon stay [D]up all week
A D E FILL
I might get some things done while others dream.
[A]The heater broke and the [E]room got cold
and my [F#m]knees and ankles say [D]I'm gettin' older
[A]the phone finally [E]rang but it wasn't for [A]me
Chorus
[C#m]If everyone was [D]together
I guess [A]no one would be [E]alone
A D E FILL
Life's a lot of trade offs in the end.
[C#m]Somewhere in the [D]fields of heather
[A]The proud souls laugh and [D]love together
[A]somewhere between [E]passion and losing [A]friends
[A]Sleep finally came but I [E]woke up alone
my [F#m]head was next to the tele[D]phone
A D E FILL
I gave the sun a cussin' as I drew the shades.
[A]The one thing that seems [E]always true
when [F#m]I'm hung over the [D]sky is blue.
[A]A rough night for [E]me will make a hell of a [A]day
[A]I believe in ghosts and [E]democracy
and that [F#m]each man should leave his [D]legacy
A D E FILL
be that mans work great or be it small.
[A]I don't believe in [E]everything like
The [F#m]designated hitter or that [D]diamond rings
[A]will make love last for[E]ever for one and [A]all.
