Chords with lyrics

Verse:
D MajorD                 Cadd9Cadd9
I was born in a small town, in the hills of Tennessee
G+G        Cadd9Cadd9                  D MajorD
Kentucky raised, just a country boy, that’s all I’ll ever be
D MajorD              Cadd9Cadd9
Daddy ran a still house, to keep us kids alive
G+G      Cadd9Cadd9             D MajorD
Just doin’ what he had to do, after mama died

Pre Chorus:
Cadd9Cadd9          D MajorD
Same people that called him no good
         Cadd9Cadd9          D MajorD
Meet him in the backwoods, for a little taste
G+G                  D MajorD
He’d say I may take your money, but don’t put yourself above me
Cadd9Cadd9              A augmentedA
Don’t cut me down, as you walk away

Chorus:
D MajorD            Cadd9Cadd9
Cause you don’t know me, you don’t know who I am
      G+G              D MajorD
You don’t know the hell that I’ve been through
     D MajorD         Cadd9Cadd9
So don’t judge me, till you stand where I stand
  G+G            Cadd9Cadd9     A augmentedA
Cause I don’t need you or anyone else to prove
Cadd9Cadd9      BB   A augmentedA     FF    D MajorD
Cause the blood in these veins is tried and true

Verse:
D MajorD             Cadd9Cadd9
I left home at 16, with a guitar on my back
               Cadd9Cadd9
With everything that I could call my own,
            D MajorD
I carried in a paper sack
D MajorD               Cadd9Cadd9
Spent years of having nothing, sleeping in my car
G+G                  Cadd9Cadd9
I’d drive all day just to play all night
Cadd9Cadd9         D MajorD
In the honky tonks and bars

Pre Chorus:
 Cadd9Cadd9           D MajorD
Same people that called me crazy,
   Cadd9Cadd9           D MajorD
Just to damn lazy, to amount to anything
G+G                              D MajorD
Are the first ones at the stage, just to beg me for a little taste
Cadd9Cadd9                    A augmentedA
They say they knew me when, nobody knew my name

Chorus:
D MajorD            Cadd9Cadd9
Cause you don’t know me, you don’t know who I am
      G+G              D MajorD
You don’t know the hell that I’ve been through
     D MajorD         Cadd9Cadd9
So don’t judge me, till you stand where I stand
  G+G            Cadd9Cadd9     A augmentedA
Cause I don’t need you or anyone else to prove
Cadd9Cadd9      BB   A augmentedA     FF    D MajorD
Cause the blood in these veins is tried and true
Cadd9Cadd9      BB   A augmentedA     FF    D MajorD
Cause the blood in these veins is tried and true
