Verse 1:
                        G
May the wind be at your back
        C
And the world beside your feet
        F              C
May you walks across Wyoming
       F                     G
With a rose clutched in your teeths
        C               G
May the answers to your questions
          C
Fall like raindrops right on cue
            F              C
And may you set a sharpend heather
           F     G            C
Before the Devil knows you're due

Chorus:

Ooh, here's to love

Here's to life
        C               F
All the fair and tender ladies

Here's to me
         C                F

And the kid from Tennessee

Verse 2:
C                              G
May your nights be filled with laughter
         C
And your days with honest work
        F                C
May you wake up smelling roses
            F               G
When you're facedown in the dirt
       C                G
If you had the sense to come in
         C
When the storm clouds start to grow
    F              C
You wouldn't be my right hand
        F           G      C
And the best friend that I know


Chorus:
G              C
Ooh, here's to life
          F
Here's to love
          C                  F
When your heart beats like a lion
                          G
And your shoes fit like a glove
                C
Yeah, here's to you
          F
Here's to me
         C                F
Some ol' mad dog mountain flyboy
                 G     C
And the kid from Tennessee

Verse 3:
C                      G              C
May you always stay in touch with the things
C
That keep you young
            F            C
When you're staring at injustice
        F               G
May you never bite your tongue
        C                   G
May the bear tracks in your future
         C
Find you downwind in a glade
          F                 C
Where the grass as green as absinthe
         F     G         C
Comes in forty different shades


Chorus:
G              C
Ooh, here's to love

And the kid from Tennessee
G                 C              F
Yeah, set 'em up, the drinks are free
         C                F
