Why Can't People Just Get Along chords

Capo 2

          G
Well they took me home in the back of a checker cab
      G                                          D
After somebody took a chair cross the back of my head
   C                      D                G                  C   
My mama said bring him on in and when they told her where I'd been 
         G         D                G
She said why can't people just get along


Well mama never said a word as she patched my head
I figured she wasn't happy with me gettin' her out of bed
I said mama I hope you ain't mad, she said come on we're going back 
Hey why can't people just get along


Chorus:
C                          G
Why can't people just get along
       G                    A7                     D 
What a world it would be if we could all just have fun
                C         D          G                  C  
'Cause it don't do nobody right when it comes down to a fight 

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



    G         D                G
Hey why can't people just get along


Now when I got trouble ain't no one I'd rather have
Than my mama next to me with a broken bottle in her hand
She went in swingin' and when she got through
Everybody saw her point of view she said
Why can't people just get along

Chorus

Guitar solo

Well now things don't always run smooth in a honky tonk
And some nights somebody's gonna rub somebody wrong
And in those isolated incidents, we all loose our common sense 
Hey why can't people just get along

Chorus
