Drop D tuning


Intro:
D (hammer your 1st finger on the 3rd string, 2nd fret as you strum)


Verse:
            D
Well, there ain't a pair of boots in my closet that ain't scuffed up and walked right through the soles
          G                                                                    D
And there ain't a pair of jeans that ain't hanging on by the seams and full of holes
        C            G                  D
I ain't never been inside a three-piece suit
       C               G                 D
And my collar's just a worn out shade of blue

Chorus:
         D
I try to beat the morning sun out of the bed
       D
Then I work like hell til the sun goes down and then I rest my head
                 G
Next to the most beautiful thing you've ever seen
G                                                                   A
Lord only knows what she means to me, solid as the rock on her left hand
      C
She's proud to be my woman
G              C               D
That's why I'm proud to be her man


Verse:
        D
She's flowers in her hair on Sunday morning and she's a Bud Light in her hand on Friday night
      G                                                         D
She's cornbread in the oven, she's wild and crazy loving me just right - Oh you know that's right
      C             G               D
She ain't afraid to put me in my place
        C                        G               D
She ain't afraid to love me every night so every day


Chorus:
         D
I try to beat the morning sun out of the bed
       D
Then I work like hell til the sun goes down and then I rest my head
                 G
Next to the most beautiful thing you've ever seen
G                                                                   A
Lord only knows what she means to me, solid as the rock on her left hand
      C
She's proud to be my woman
G              C               D
That's why I'm proud to be her man


Bridge:
        Em                                   G
She can rock a dress in cowboy boots, make a rolling stone wanna plant some roots
          Em                               A
She's the one thing that I can't afford to lose


Chorus 2:
             D
So I try to beat the morning sun out of the bed
      D
Man I work like hell til the sun goes down and then
                                  G
I rest my head next to the most beautiful thing you've ever seen
G
Lord only knows what she means to me
                                       A
The reason I keep this ring on my left hand
C                              G             C             D
She's proud to be my woman, that's why I'm proud to be her man

C                              G             C             D
