Chords with lyrics
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
I was raised on cornbread and gravy
G7G7 C majorC G7G7
And I slept in a cardboard box till I was nearly three
C majorC G7G7 C majorC G7G7
I bathed myself in the muddy river running by our shack
C majorC FF C majorC G7G7 C majorC
By the time that I had reached thirteen I'd been through hell and back
FF G7G7
I've been thrown from pillar to post
FF C majorC
I've been banged around and scarred
FF
I've done so much I've seen so much
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
And I've lived so fast and hard
G7G7 C majorC G7G7
Mama died when I was young and I never knew my dad
C majorC G7G7 C majorC G7G7 C majorC
I never had the love and care that other children had
G7G7 C majorC G7G7
I spent five years in an orphan's home but I ran off one day
C majorC FF C majorC G7G7 C majorC
And I hoboed an old freight train to San Francisco Bay
FF G7G7
I've fought in the war I've been in jail
FF C majorC
There ain't much I ain't done
FF
I'd lived as much as any man
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
Before I was twenty one
FF G7G7
I've been thrown from pillar to post
FF C majorC
I've been banged around and scarred
FF
I've done so much I've seen so much
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
And I've lived so fast and hard
