Capo 1

Intro: (G)  (C) x4

(G)                 (C)
I ain't the kind you take home to Mama

(G)                (C)
I ain't the kind to wear no ring

(G)        (C)
Somehow I always get stronger

(G)            (C)...
When I'm on my second drink...

(G)  (C) x2


Even though I hate to admit it
Sometimes I smoke cigarettes
The Christian folk say I should quit it
And I just smile and say, "God bless"

(G) strum


Chorus:

      (D)
'Cause I heard Jesus, He drank wine

     (C)           (G)
And I bet we'd get along just fine

        (D)
He could calm a storm and heal the blind

     (C)                              (G)
And I bet He'd understand a heart like mine

(G)  (C) x2


Daddy cried when he saw my tattoo
But he said he loved me anyway
My brother got the brains of the family
So I thought I'd learn to sing...

(G) strum...

(Chorus)

Repeat intro...

Bridge:

          (Am7)   (G)
Well, I'll fly...away

       (Am7)     (G)
From it all one day

        (Am7)            (D)
And I'll fly, I'll fly away...(but..)


These are the days that I will remember
When my name's called on the roll
He'll meet me with two long-stemmed glasses
And make a toast to me coming home...

(G) strum...

(Chorus)
