Proud Souls chords by Jason Boland

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

  A               E
I got drunk by myself last night.
 F#m                     D
They say its no way to make things right
  A                 E            D
I just didnt have anything better to do
  A                       E
The dog was asleep on the living room rug and
 F#m                    D
I watched a show about crime and drugs
  A                  E                    A
Finished a bottle of bourbon until it was 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:
    C#m          D
If everyone was together
        A               D
I guess no one would be alone
F#               E                A
Life’s a lot of trade offs in the end
C#m               D
Somewhere in the fields of heather
    A                            D
The proud souls laugh and they love together
 F#                E                   A
Somewhere between passion and losing friends

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                          D
Cause if everyone should be together
  A                     D
Why are some many left alone
F#               E             A
Life’s a lot of trade offs in the end
C#m               D
Somewhere in the fields of heather
  A                             D
The proud souls laugh and they love together
F#                E                 A
Somewhere between passion and losing friends
F#                E                  D
Somewhere between passion and losing friends
