E                                B
I promised you the good life and all the finer things
                             E
Fancy clothes cadillacs  and lots of diamond rings
E
The bible tells us that  the lilies 
        A
Are the best dressed of the flowers
         B                                  E
But it's hard to dress a woman on $5.15 an hour
E                      B
This is the good life  singing in a bar

Playing all these songs I love
E
Wondering where you are
E                 E7
Smoking all these cigarrettes
    A
And drinking all this beer
B
This is the good life 
                   E
So sad you weren't here

SOLO

E
Now you say  that you don't love me
    B
And honey that's alright
                                          E  
Cause I've got lots of better things that I can do tonight  
                                       A
Like wondering what became of all the stars of yester year
     B                                               E     
As I watched the angels dancing in the bubbles in my beer
E                      B
This is the good life  singing in a bar

Playing all these songs I love
E
Wondering where you are
E                 E7
Smoking all these cigarrettes
    A
And drinking all this beer
B
This is the good life 
                   E
So sad you weren't here
