Bare Essentials chords by Lee Kernaghan

• Difficulty: Beginner

A
I've got two strong hands to rope the load
A
I've got dust and grit from head to toe
A
I may not look such a pretty sight
A
But I got what I own and I'm doin' alright

A
By the end of the week I'm strapped for cash
A
Drive an old HT she's not too flash
A
Big bench seat and a radio
A                                    E
She gets me anywhere that I wanna go

E                D                 A     E
Well I'm not the kind who likes to boast
E                    D                  A
But I've got all the things that matter most
A       D                                     A    E
And the more you have, the more you've got to lose
E          D                A
The bare essentials get you through


A
Got an old stray dog's seen better days
A
No pedigree and unsociable ways
A
Ever since the day that he wandered in
A                                            E
I've found myself a true and faithful friend


E                D                A     E
Well I'm not the kind who like to boast
E                    D                  A
But I've got all the things that matter most
A       D                                    A    E
And the more you have the more you've got to lose
E          D                A
The bare essentials get you through


A
I got a few good mates from way back when
A
Some folks don't think too much of them
A
Rough around the edges, they get around
A                                                E
But they won't walk away when the chips are down


E           D                A    E
I'm not the kind who like to boast
E                 D                  A    E
But I got all the things that matter most
E       D                               A  E
And I'm having too much fun with makin' do
E                D               A
Yeah, the bare essentials get me through


E        D                                    A    E
Yeah the more you have the more you've got to lose
E             D               A
So the bare essentials get me through
A         E      D               A
Yeah, the bare essentials get me through
