**CAPO 2**
In the brackets ie(D-A-Bm) are little walkdowns in between lines,
one quick strum on each chord then go into next line.
Intro: D D9 D (x2)
D D9 D
Never owned a brand new car never worked in a white collar
Bm
Never held a woman longer than I held one single dollar
Em
Never went out chasin' rainbows cause there can't be that much to it
A Asus A
Even if I found my pot of gold I'd probably p**s right through it
D D9 D (D-A-Bm)
I can't remember ever wanting for one second of my life
Bm (Bm-A-G)
Even if I did it cost too much to ever pay the price
G (G-D/F#-Em)
I don't dance out on the dark side ain't no secrets I can tell
Em Asus D
So you don't have to say a prayer for me, I just said one for myself
Chorus:
G A D
I'm livin' my li--fe under my terms
G A Bm
I'm callin' the shots as far as I can see
G A D D/F# G
I don't owe nobody nothin' I don't answer to a soul
D/F# Em A D
Might not work for you, but it works for me
D D9 D (x2)
D D9 D
I've been bent and bruised and broken and flat busted once or twice
Bm
I brought most of it upon myself but I never compromised
Em
My pride's too hard to swallow so I've chewed a lot of it
A Asus A
Mild mannered and soft hearted and hard headed as you get
D D9 D (D-A-Bm)
I live out on the backroads where I walk my country mile
Bm (Bm-A-G)
And if it's so good in the city why don't anybody smile
G (G-D/F#-Em)
The traffic's always heavy and the air ain't fit to breathe
Em Asus D
I ain't saying that it's wrong for you it just don't make sense to me
REPEAT CHORUS
