E You can't sneak your way up the ladder F#m Have it handed to you on a silver platter A It don't depend on who or what you know E It won't rub off of some movie star F#m You gotta bang it out on a cheap guitar A It doesn't matter what you drive E7 It's how you go Chorus: C#m Amaj If I'm gonna play. I'm gonna play loud Emaj Pour the midnight oil, let it all burn out C#m Amaj If I'm gonna love, I'm gonna love big Emaj I wasn't born to hold nothin' back from you and that's the way it is G I don't want life watered-down Amaj I wanna drink it strong E7 Until it's gone, until it's gone Instrumental Break reapeating Chorus ( Whoohoo hoo, Whoohoo hoo, Whoohoo) E Well, nobody here sent for you, son F#m There's a million roads but you just get one A Treat every quarter inch like a hundred yards E Better swing your groove Like you swing your hammer F#m Sing like Cash did in the slammer A E7 You can't go half at it, ya got to nail it hard Chorus X2 Barred Chords C#m Amaj Emaj Gmaj E7 -4--------5-------7------3----------0------- -5--------5-------9------3----------3------- -6--------6-------9------4----------1------- -6--------7-------9------5----------2------- -4--------7-------7------5----------2------- -0--------5-------7------3----------0------- Shoutout Tarleton State!
