I Got It Honest Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
It ain't [D]nothin' but a small
frame house on an acre lot
It ain't that much diff'rent from [A]any
other house on [D]the block
And it may not look like we [G]got all
our share of [D]the promise[G]
But at [D]least one thing's for sure,
[A]I got it hon[D]est

[Verse 2]
[D]Roll out of the sack every [G]mornin',
head on down to [D]the mill
Give 'em all I got for [A]eight,
'cause that's the [D]deal
If you'll check out my paycheck
Well, [G]you'll see that there ain't
that much [D]on [G]it
But [D]ev'ry single penny I'm [A]paid,
I got it [D]honest

[Verse 3]
I [G]never had to hang my head in shame
For [D]puttin' a price tag on my name
[G]Never turned my back on what I believe
Or [E]let my heart [A]be [E]ruled by [A]greed
'Cause [D]buddy if I didn't [G]earn it,
[D]I don't want it[G]
[D]That way I can always [A]say, I got it [D]honest

[Verse 4]
Now you ain't [D]looking at some dude
That was [G]born with a Silver
spoon in his [D]mouth
And I might seem like some kind of low-life
[A]To To that highfalutin' [D]crowd
But I'm plain spoken,
straight talkin'
[G]And damn proud of what I
have ac[D]complished[G]
[D]Some folks appreciate
that and some [A]don't
But, I got it [D]honest

[Verse 5]
Now [E]when I die,
I may not [A]leave my kids [E]a fortune
But I hope they know'd my life [B]stood
for things that were import[E]ant
And I'll hand out the same sturdy old [A]val
ues of my daddy and [E]my momma[A]
It [E]made me every ounce of what
[B]I am and I got it h[E]onest

[Verse 6]
I [A]never had to hang my head in shame
For [E]puttin' a price tag [A]on [E]my name
[A]Never turned my back on what I believe
Or [F#]let my heart [F#sus4]be
[F#]ruled by [B]greed
'Cause [E]brother if I didn't [A]earn it,
I don't [E]want [A]it
[E]That way I can always say,
[B]I got it hon[E]est[A]
Friend there [E]ain't no doubt about it,
[B]I got it hon[E]est
