Capo 2
Depending on where you sing, you can either capo 2 and
play as written here, or you can transcribe up 2 half
steps and play without the capo. For example, the
verse would then be played:
[E] [C#m] [A] [B]
Never o[D]wned a brand new car,
never worked in a white collar
Never h[Bm]eld a woman longer
than I held one single dollar
Never w[G]ent out chasing rainbows
cause there can't be that much too it
And even[A] if I found my pot of gold
I'd probably piss right through it
Can't [D]remember ever wanting
for one second of my life
Even i[Bm]f I did, it cost too much
to ever pay the price
I don'[G]t dance out on the dark side,
ain't no secrets I can tell
So you [A]don't have to say a prayer for me,
I just said one for m[D]yself
Chorus:
I'm living my [G]li[A]fe under m[D]y terms
I'm calling the [G]shots, as f[A]ar as I can [Bm]see
I don't [G]owe nobody [A]nothing, I don't [Bm]answer to a [G]soul
Might not work for you.[A]..but it w[D]orks for me
I've been[D] bent and bruised and broken
and flat busted once or twice
I brought[Bm] most of it upon myself
but I never compromised
My pr[G]ide's too hard to swallow
so I've chewed a lot of it
Mild [A]mannered and soft hearted,
hard headed as you get
I l[D]ive out on the back porch
where I walk my country mile
And if it's[Bm] so good in the city
why don't anybody smile
All the [G]traffics always heavy
and the air ain't fit to breathe
I'm not [A]saying it's wrong for you,
it just don't make sense to [D]me
