Guy Goin Nowhere chords by Garth Brooks

• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

🎸 Verse 1:
                   D          G     D
Don't waste your life behind that guitar
              Bm                     G
You may get gone, but you won't get far
                 D                   G      D
You're not the first, boy you won't be the last
              G
And you can tell us all about it when you come crawlin' back
                       Bm
Cause that road you're on, it just winds and winds
                        G
You're spinning your wheels, and wastin' your time


🎸 Chorus:
                D            G              D
But when the lights come up and I hear the band
      G
And where they said I'd never be is right here where I stand
            Bm                A                               C/G
I see the crowd and I look around, and I can't find an empty chair
     G             A       D
Not bad for a boy goin' nowhere

🎸 Verse 2:
                  D         G       D
Now I get these calls, out on the road
                     Bm           G
Yeah, we heard your song on the radio
            D         G                 D
We always said you'd make it big back then
         G
Yeah and I tell everybody that I knew you back when
           Bm
So don't forget us little folks
                    C/G
When you crash and burn, remember we told you so


🎸 Chorus:
                D            G              D
But when the lights come up and I hear the band
      G
And where they said I'd never be is right here where I stand
            Bm                A                               C/G
I see the crowd and I look around, and I can't find an empty chair
     G             A       D
Not bad for a guy goin' nowhere


🎸 Outro:
       Bm                           G
And I need to thank the Father for every song I sing
           D                       A7
And for everyone who ever said I'd never be anything
           Bm                   A               G
It took a whole lot of 'yes I wills' and 'I don't cares'
               Bm            A                     G
A lot of run down dives and bars and rain-soaked fairs
          Bm               A                 E7
To get to all of you down here and way back there
     G             A      Bm
Not bad for a guy goin' nowhere
     G             A       D
Not bad for a boy goin' nowhere
