Capo 3 to sing along with Jesse

Intro: E-A-B7-E

E
Life is much too short for some folks
    A                         E
For other folks it just drags on

Some folks like the taste of smokey whiskey
A                        B7
Others figure tea is too strong

E
I'm the type of guy who likes to ride it down the middle
A                                       E
I don't like all this bouncing back and forth
A                          E
Me, I want to live with my feet in Dixie
       B7                    E
And my head in the cool blue North

E
In a small suburban garden
A                               E
Not a single neighbor knows our names

I know the woman wishes we would move somewhere
          A                     B7
Where the houses aren't all the same

       E
Jessy, I wish you would take me

Where the grass is greener
  A                                E
I really couldn't say where it may be
A                      E
Somewhere up high on a mountain top
   B7                    E
Or down by the deep blue sea

    A                         E
And there we'll do just as we please
Fm                     B7
It ain't nothing but a breeze

E
One day I'll be a old gray grandpa
A                                 E
All the pretty girls will call me Sir

Now, they're asking me how things are
 A                              B7
Soon they'll ask me how things were

      E
Well, I don't mind being an old gray grandpa
A                         E
If you'll be my gray grandma
A                               E
But I'll suggest we go have our milk and cookies
       B7                   E
In the shade of the old paw-paw

Instrumental - Verse Chords

A                         E
There we'll do just as we please
Fm                     B7
It ain't nothing but a breeze

E
Life is just too short for some folks
A                         E
Other folks it just drags on

Some folks like the taste of smokey whiskey
A                        B7

    E
Now I'm the type of guy who likes to ride it down the middle
A                                       E
I don't like all this bouncing back and forth
A                          E
Me, I want to live with my feet in Dixie
       B7                    E
And my head in the cool blue North

     A                         E
Yea, me I want to live with my feet in Dixie
       B7                    E
