F# minorF#m |
A augmentedA |
D MajorD |A augmentedA | x 5
F# minorF#m A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
Any day now the sky could fall
F# minorF#m A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
And I'm not one to complain
F# minorF#m A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
But this don't feel like no paradise at all
F# minorF#m A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
Down on the corner in the rain
F# minorF#m A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
Old Kentucky, he's a friend of mine
F# minorF#m A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
He got them Fayette County blues
F# minorF#m A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
Ain't no woman ever keep the man in line
F# minorF#m A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
And there ain't no woman he can refuse
E MajorE
Well I stumbled in with my guitar
F# minorF#m
And bought a drink behind the bar
E MajorE F# minorF#m
Sat in with the band until oh two
D MajorD |D MajorD |A augmentedA |A augmentedA |E MajorE |E MajorE |E MajorE |E MajorE |
Then I saaaaaaaaaaaaid:
F# minorF#m A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
too much whiskey make me tumble home
F# minorF#m A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
too much Jesus make me pray
F# minorF#m A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
too much love and Lord I feel so all alone
F# minorF#m A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
but that's all right mama, that's OK
F# minorF#m A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
Cause Sweet Serrita, she's behind the bar
F# minorF#m A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
She's got the towel in her hand
F# minorF#m A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
Lord release her, she's only twenty-four
F# minorF#m A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
And she's doing the best that she can
E MajorE
Well I don't know, but I been told
F# minorF#m
That freedom is an open road
E MajorE F# minorF#m
But I guess it all depends on how you drive
D MajorD |D MajorD |A augmentedA |A augmentedA |E MajorE |E MajorE |E MajorE |E MajorE |
While you're aliiiiiive
|F# minorF#m |A augmentedA |D MajorD |A augmentedA | x 4
F# minorF#m A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
Now people tell me I'm the Lucky One
F# minorF#m A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
But that don't matter much to me
F# minorF#m A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
Cause I ain't nothing but my father's son
F# minorF#m A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
And that's all I'm ever gonna be
