I Got It Honest Aaron Tippin

D MajorD D4 D MajorD D4

     D MajorD             G+G        D MajorD  D4 D MajorD
It ain't nothin' but a small frame house on an acre lot
  D MajorD               A7A7           D MajorD  D4 D MajorD
It ain't that much diff'rent from any other house on the block
    D MajorD           G+G            D MajorD  G+G
And it may not look like we got our share of the promise
    D MajorD           A7A7        D MajorD
But at least one thing's for sure, I got it honest.

D MajorD             G+G               D MajorD  D4 D MajorD
Roll out of the sack ev'ry mornin', head on down to the mill
D MajorD            A7A7            D MajorD  D4 D MajorD
Give 'em all I got for eight, 'cause that's the deal
      D MajorD
If you'll check out my paycheck
       G+G               D MajorD   G+G
Well, you'll see that there ain't that much on it
   D MajorD           A7A7        D MajorD
But ev'ry single penny I'm paid, I got it honest.

  G+G
I never had to hang my head in shame
  D MajorD
For puttin' a price tag on my name
 G+G
Never turned back on what I believe
  E MajorE            A augmentedA
Or let my heart be ruled by greed
    D MajorD         G+G         D MajorD    G+G
'Cause buddy if I didn't earn it, I don't want it
   D MajorD         A7A7        D MajorD  D4 D MajorD
That way I can always say, I got it honest.

        D MajorD
Now you ain't looking at some dude
     G+G                D MajorD  D4 D MajorD
That was born with a Silver spoon in his mouth
    D MajorD              A7A7
And I might seem like some kind of low life
            D MajorD D4 D MajorD
To that high-falutin' crowd
     D MajorD
But I'm plain spoken, straight talkin'
   G+G             D MajorD     D4 D MajorD
And damn proud of what I have accomplished
    D MajorD            A7A7             D MajorD  D4 D MajorD
Some folks appreciate that and some don't But, I got it honest.

E MajorE             A augmentedA       E MajorE
Now when I die, I may not leave my kids a fortune
    E MajorE            B7B7              E MajorE
But I hope they know my life stood for things that were important
     E MajorE              A augmentedA             E MajorE  A augmentedA
And I'll hand out the same sturdy old values of my daddy and my momma
  E MajorE              B7B7         E MajorE
It made me every ounce of what I am and I got it honest.

  A augmentedA
I never had to hang my head in shame
  E MajorE
For puttin' a price tag on my name
 A augmentedA
Never turned back on what I believe
  F#F#            B7B7
Or let my heart be ruled by greed
    E MajorE         A augmentedA         E MajorE    A augmentedA
'Cause buddy if I didn't earn it, I don't want it
   E MajorE         B7B7        E MajorE  A augmentedA
That way I can always say, I got it honest.
       E MajorE          B7B7      E MajorE  A augmentedA  E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
