🎸 Intro:

C  D  G Cadd9 G Em



🎸 Verse 1:
     G
Outside there’s a rusty pickup
Cadd9
  Underneath a shed
      D
Mockingbird’s nest in the tailpipe
        Cadd9                D
Empty feed sack in the bed
G

They took away my keys
        Cadd9
Sayin’ I’m too old to drive
      D
It’s like they’re tryin’ to bury me
       Cadd9           D
While I’m still alive
🎸 Chorus:
                    G
I always wanted a son
                   Cadd9
I always wanted a woodshed
                     D
I always wanted to ride on an open range
                                 G       D                  G
And learn how to fly a plane, but I guess even pictures we never take
                            Cadd9
Memories we’ll never make still fade
                   D
I never did all I wanted to do but I always wanted to
G     Cadd9


🎸 Verse 2:
  G
They talk like I can’t hear ’em
       Cadd9
When they have to change my sheets
    D
They’re getting tired and angry
         Cadd9             D
‘Cause I won’t accept defeat
        G
Uncle Frank lived to be a hundred
         Cadd9
Hell
I’m only ninety five
D
I ain’t raising no white flag
       Cadd9          D
While I’m still alive

🎸 Chorus:
                    G
I always wanted a son
                   Cadd9
I always wanted a woodshed
                     D
I always wanted to ride on an open range
                                 G       D                  G
And learn how to fly a plane, but I guess even pictures we never take
                            Cadd9
Memories we’ll never make still fade
                   D                           G
I never did all I wanted to do but I always wanted to

🎸 Verse 3:
        G
My Marie showed up this morning
       Cadd9
Floatin’ right above that chair
       D
She smiled the sweetest smile at me
      G
As she hovered in the air
           G
When that fever stole her from me
               Cadd9
I was twenty seven, she was just twenty five
         D
I never dreamed I’d see my angel again
      Cadd9         D
While I’m still alive

🎸 Chorus:
                    G
I always wanted a son
                   Cadd9
I always wanted a woodshed
                     D
I always wanted to ride on an open range
                                 G       D                  G
And learn how to fly a plane, but I guess even pictures we never take

Memories we’ll never make still fade

I never did all I wanted to do but I always wanted to
