Chords with lyrics

• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: D MajorD

🎸 Verse 1:
D MajorD      A augmentedA      B minorBm
Cowboys and Indians and trees he could climb
G+G       D MajorD      A augmentedA     A7A7
Tomorrow came too fast but he didn't mind
    D MajorD      A augmentedA    B minorBm
Ah, the distance was short so light it again
  G+G       D MajorD    A augmentedA      D MajorD
It don't take no time to get where I am

🎸 Chorus:
    B minorBm    G+G     A augmentedA     D MajorD
But the one paper kid wasn't really so mean
      A augmentedA            D MajorD
He's just a little bit scared and a little bit green
     D MajorD     B minorBm       A augmentedA    D MajorD
And he'd heard of a place that was legal to dream
  D MajorD              A augmentedA     B minorBm
So he sat with his coffee and a blue Texas wind
  G+G         B minorBm      A augmentedA     G+G   D MajorD
And wrote on the rock "the one paper kid, he's rollin' again"

🎸 Verse 2:
D MajorD       A augmentedA      B minorBm
The driver was drunk or he just didn't see
  G+G     D MajorD      A augmentedA     A7A7
The future was there: it'll happen to me
      D MajorD      A augmentedA     B minorBm
And all the time that he wasted was his once again
G+G       D MajorD      A augmentedA        D MajorD
It never takes too long to go where you've been

🎸 Bridge:
    B minorBm      G+G       A augmentedA    D MajorD
There's broken hearts scattered all over the past
  G+G        B minorBm
And old bad memories tryin' to last
 B minorBm     G+G     A augmentedA     D MajorD
Whiskey and women and growing up fast
G+G            A augmentedA
Fussin' and lovin' and itchin' like grass

🎸 Chorus:
     D MajorD          A augmentedA     D MajorD
Hell, the one paper kid wasn't really so mean
    G+G              D MajorD
Just a little bit weird 'cause the times were so lean
     D MajorD     B minorBm        A augmentedA    D MajorD
Now he's gone to a place where it's legal to dream
  B minorBm     G+G     A augmentedA
No camels, no coffee, no cold morning wind
     D MajorD        B minorBm       A augmentedA    G+G     D MajorD
And it's writ on the rock "the one paper kid, he's rollin' again
  B minorBm    A augmentedA    D MajorD    G+G
The one paper kid, he's rollin' again
