Ain't Goin My Way chords by Old Man Luedecke

I was feelin' important, feelin' in control
C       Cm      G           D
Felt like everywhere I went, folks said, "There he goes"
   G                       C   Cm
I was beaming like a noon-day sun, my ducks all in a row
   G
When all a sudden in a flash, I saw it was not so

      G
Ain't goin' my way
      Em
Ain't goin' my way
    C     D          G
There's no denyin' thing's ain't flyin' my way
      G
Ain’t goin' my way
      Em
Ain’t goin' my way
    C     D          G
There's no denyin' thing's ain't flyin' my way

 G
I used to walk around a lot feelin' pretty small
C          Cm     G       D
People said, "You're not so bad" so I stood up tall
G                        C    Cm
Then my inner Napoleon said, "You could have it all!"
 G
I hit a curb and strained a nerve and headed for a fall

Chorus

G
Now I am a lonely mole back in the underground
    C        Cm         G       D
Diggin' bigger hills and little hills cause I'm so tightly wound
G                        C     Cm
Really am I all that bad takin' pennies for the pound
G
Cause even from the margins, lord, there comes a holy sound

Chorus
