[Intro 1]
[F][Em][D]
[F][Em][D]
[A][G][A][D][Em][A][Em]
[A]There's

[Verse 1]
a roadside bar with a neon sign
And when the [G]sun goes down
[D]We'll be rollin' up
About the [A]time to lighten
up (lighten up)
To kick off the floor on
the right foot
Southpaw, [G]pass [D]it around
Gon' keep the windows up
'Cause we'll be [A]lightin' [D]up

[Verse 2]
[A]Now, Brotha Jimbo ain't no
late night toker
Never [G]been one to roll with the [D]holy rollers
Just puts a little somethin' in his cup
When [A]he wants to lighten up, lighten up

[Verse 3]
[A]Maybe everybody could [G]lighten up
When the goin' gets a [D]little tough,
give a little love
And put your lighters in the
air and [A]light 'em up
Lately, everybody's done [G]had enough
Gotta get it back to the [D]good stuff,
just to live it up
And when the world goes [F#m]dark,
we'll be [A]lightin' up

[Verse 4]
[A]Back porch, pickin' from my [Em]six string
[A]Sippin' from a [G]fill it up cup,
[C]uh
[D]They ain't gonna turn it down, nah
Only gonna [A]crank it up,
crank it up (lighten up)
Redneck hippies and the girls from
the cities all [G]gettin' along
[C]Long hai[G]rs on the cou[D]ntry song

[Verse 5]
[A]Maybe everybody could [G]lighten up
When the goin' gets a [D]little tough,
give a little love
And put your lighters in the
air and [A]light 'em up
Lately, everybody's done [G]had enough
Gotta get it back to the [D]good stuff,
just to live it up
And when the world goes dark,
we'll be [A]lightin' [F]up

[Interlude 1]
[Em][D][F]
[Em][C][D]
[G]Yeah,[A]

[Verse 6]
maybe everybody
could [G]lighten up
When the goin' gets a [D]little tough,
give a little love
And put your lighters in the
[F#m]air and li[A]ght 'em up
Lately, everybody's done [G]had enough
Gotta get it back to the [D]good stuff,
just to live it up
And when the world goes [F#m]dark,
we'll be [A]lightin' up
[G]Lig[D]hte[A]n up (li[G]ghten
up), lighten up (lighten up)
[A](Lighten up)
