Ronnie Dunn-Cost of Living Standard tuning- Capo 2 Feel free to try the Capo else where for your singing preference. It does work at Capo 3. Verse 1: D Em Every thing you know about me is written on this page G D A number you can reach me, my social, and my age D Em Yes I served in the Army, it's where I learned to shoot G D Eighteen months in the desert, pouring sand out of my boots Em G No I've never been convicted of a crime Em G I could start this job at any time Chorus 1: D Em I've got a strong back, steel toes I rarely call in sick G D A good truck, what I don't know, I catch on real quick D Em I work weekends, if I have to, Nights and Holidays G D Give you forty, and then some, whatever it takes Em G Three dollars and change at the pump Em D The cost of living's high, and going up Verse 2: D Em I put Robert down as a reference, he's known me all my life G D We attend the same church, he introduced me to my wife D Em Gave my last job everything, before it headed south G Took the shoes off of my children's feet, D the food out of their mouths Em G Yesterday my folks offered to help Em G But they're barely getting by themselves Chorus 1: D Em I've got a strong back, steel toes I rarely call in sick G D A good truck, what I don't know, I catch on real quick D Em I work weekends, if I have to, Nights and Holidays G D Give you forty, and then some, whatever it takes Em G Three dollars and change at the pump Em D The cost of living's high, and going up Bridge: Em G I'm sure a hundred others have applied Em G Rumor has it you're only taking five Chorus 2: D Em I've got a strong back, steel toes, I'm handy with a wrench G D There's nothing I can't drive, nothing I can't fix D Em I work sun up, 'til sun down, ain't to proud to sweep the floor G D The bank has started calling, and the wolves are at my door Em G Three dollars and change at the pump Em D The cost of living's high and going up Outro through D I know some of you may suggest that there is another chord in a place or two. However this is the simple playing man's version.
