🎸 Verse 1:
  C majorC       FF         C majorC
A augmentedA man with forty acres plowed and planted
   G+G                    C majorC
Can't send no fourteen year old boy to no school
         FF           C majorC
The only thing I learned in the years I worked on my daddy's farm
   G+G                        C majorC
Was son, you better get them crops in when it turns cool

🎸 Verse 2:
           FF       C majorC
In the magazines
I saw the pretty women
  G+G                C majorC
I heard about the drinkin' and the bars
           FF         C majorC
If my daddy could've caught me, he'd a-killed me
      G+G                      C majorC
He said, "You might run, boy, but you ain't gonna get far"


🎸 Verse 3:
       FF           C majorC
I hit town, you might say that it hit me
   G+G                   C majorC
Next mornin' there were things I knew more about
              FF       C majorC
The woman who had taken me in she said, "Country boy, you're all right"
   G+G                   C majorC
The same way I turned her on, she turned me out


🎸 Verse 4:
           FF         C majorC
The first law I broke, right away they got me
  G+G                     C majorC
I helped them build the country roads for awhile
             FF       C majorC
They fed me two times a day and they knocked me down about four
   G+G                 C majorC   A augmentedA
For thirty days I didn't even crack a smile

🎸 Verse 5:
  D MajorD          G+G         D MajorD
I met a nice girl and she said I was her baby
      A augmentedA              D MajorD
She let me go and would never tell me why
             G+G        D MajorD
I learned what it means to be somebody's baby
   A augmentedA                    D MajorD
They let you lie in your bed by yourself and cry


🎸 Verse 6:
   D MajorD            G+G           D MajorD
The miles were good but the mileage is turnin' my hair gray
   A augmentedA                     D MajorD
I've met some people that knew me and call me friend
        G+G           D MajorD
Ain't no sense wantin' my life to live over
   A augmentedA                      D MajorD
I'd find different ways to make those mistakes again


🎸 Outro:
           G+G            D MajorD
So let me say this
I never tried to hurt anybody
      A augmentedA                          D MajorD
Though I guess there's a few, that I still couldn't look in the eye
           G+G            D MajorD
If I've got one wish
I hope it rains at my funeral
  A augmentedA                   D MajorD
For once
I'd like to be the only one dry
