**CAPO 2**

In the brackets ie(D-A-Bm) are little walkdowns in between lines,
one quick strum on each chord then go into next line.

Intro: D MajorD D9D9 D MajorD (x2)

D MajorD              D9D9         D MajorD
Never owned a brand new car never worked in a white collar
   B minorBm
Never held a woman longer than I held one single dollar
   E minorEm
Never went out chasin' rainbows cause there can't be that much to it
  A augmentedA       Asus4Asus4       A augmentedA
Even if I found my pot of gold I'd probably piss right through it
     D MajorD     D9D9        D MajorD       (D-A-Bm)
I can't remember ever wanting for one second of my life
  B minorBm                      (Bm-A-G)
Even if I did it cost too much to ever pay the price
    G+G                         (G-D/F#-Em)
I don't dance out on the dark side ain't no secrets I can tell
 E minorEm                 Asus4Asus4            D MajorD
So you don't have to say a prayer for me, I just said one for myself

Chorus:
       G+G A augmentedA    D MajorD
I'm livin' my li--fe under my terms
        G+G    A augmentedA      B minorBm
I'm callin' the shots as far as I can see
    G+G     A augmentedA        D MajorD  D/F#D/F#  G+G
I don't owe nobody nothin' I don't answer to a soul
D/F#D/F#    E minorEm      A augmentedA     D MajorD
Might not work for you,   but it works for me

D MajorD D9D9 D MajorD (x2)

D MajorD                   D9D9       D MajorD
I've been bent and bruised and broken and flat busted once or twice
     B minorBm
I brought most of it upon myself but I never compromised
  E minorEm
My pride's too hard to swallow so I've chewed a lot of it
   A augmentedA        Asus4Asus4       A augmentedA
Mild mannered and soft hearted and hard headed as you get
 D MajorD        D9D9        D MajorD         (D-A-Bm)
I live out on the backroads where I walk my country mile
      B minorBm                    (Bm-A-G)
And if it's so good in the city why don't anybody smile
   G+G                         (G-D/F#-Em)
The traffic's always heavy and the air ain't fit to breathe
 E minorEm                  Asus4Asus4            D MajorD
I ain't saying that it's wrong for you it just don't make sense to me
