Verse:
C majorC         G+G      A minorAm       FF
I always did like music and I always did like wine
C majorC         G+G         A minorAm   FF
I always liked em best when they was mine
C majorC            G+G        A minorAm      FF
I’d heard enough of Nashville to give a happy man the blues
C majorC           G+G     A minorAm      FF   C majorC G+G C majorC
So I took a job for nothing as a beggar and a mule

Pre-Chorus:
     FF         C majorC
And I hauled my cart and guitar
    FF         C majorC
And I stood outside the doors
      FF       C majorC
Singin’: “Listen to me, listen . . .
      G+G      G--
Won’t you listen to me, sir?

Chorus:
     C majorC          G+G
Well fuck that cause I’ve got too much pride
   C majorC        FF
Fuck that cause I got clear
     C majorC        G+G
And fuck them that got no heart at all
    FF          C majorC
Or the balls to trust their ears

Verse:
C majorC         G+G      A minorAm      FF
I sat upon the sidewalks and I saddled up my sides
C majorC          G+G          A minorAm  FF
I chewed my cud and washed it down with pride
C majorC        G+G       A minorAm      FF
Catnip and barleycorn, and made ready for the show
C majorC            G+G       A minorAm      FF   C majorC G+G C majorC
Where I lost myself in stories of the hard luck and morose

Pre-Chorus:
    FF         C majorC
And people pitched me pennies
     FF       C majorC
And they pounded on the glass
     FF       C majorC
Then they left to see the painted man
    G+G       G--
And I left to pack my ass

Chorus:
     C majorC        G+G
Well good goddamn another empty town
  C majorC      FF
Goddamn another shell
  C majorC         G+G
Goddamn cause when I ride back home
    FF        C majorC
I’m a stranger there as well

Verse:

C majorC            G+G             A minorAm           FF
I can’t say that they weren’t good to me, I can’t say that they weren’t kind
C majorC            G+G       A minorAm  FF
It’s more the way they weighted down my mind
C majorC            G+G        A minorAm       FF
It’s more the lack of dignity and the hustle and the hounds
C majorC           G+G        A minorAm       FF  C majorC G+G C majorC
To have to take your hat off just to lay it on the ground

Pre-Chorus:
     FF      C majorC
It was never for the money
     FF      C majorC
Or the whistles and applause
   FF        C majorC
And I will not tip my hat
      G+G        G--
Unless you sing me back a song

Chorus:
    C majorC         G+G
So God bless the sound of music
  C majorC        FF
God bless the golden rule
      C majorC         G+G
That’s why all my friends are beggars
  C majorC         FF
And all my friends are mules
      C majorC         G+G
That’s why all my friends are beggars
  C majorC         FF
And all my friends are mules
