The Good Life Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Asus4]He[D][Asus4][A][Asus4][D]
was not the kind [Dsus4]of man
that would [D]walk [Dsus4]you
[D]to school hand in hand
he was hard work leathered [Dsus4]and tan
and he spoke with [D]a throat full of sand
[Em]me I'd hang on[Bm] eve[G]ry
[A]word you [Em]never know
[Bm]what you might [A]learn

[Verse 2]
Son, [G]don't let [C]your horse
shoes point [D]down
[G]never put a [F]blade in the [D]ground
[G]always look a [C]man right
[Bm]square in [A]the eye
don't [G]let the good [A]life
pass you [D]by
[Asus4][D]

[Verse 3]
[D]any little problem [Dsus4]of mine
he'd spit and say [D]boy
you'll [G]be fine[D]
he knew that there'd come [Dsus4]a time
when I'd find real [D]mountains to climb
[Em]life can be [Bm]cruel to [G]us [A]all
[Em]sooner or [Bm]later we [A]fall

[Verse 4]
Son, [G]don't let [C]your horse
shoes point [D]down
[G]never put a [F]blade in the [D]ground
[G]always look a [C]man right
[Bm]square in [A]the eye
don't [G]let the good [A]life pass you [D]by

[Verse 5]
I [D]only ever once saw [Dsus4]him cry
[D]the day[G] that his own[Bm] mother died[D]
just one tear in the corner of his
[C]eye[Dsus4]
[D]then he smiled [G]and said,
[D]softly, goodbye
[Em]Me I've got tw[Bm]o of my own
[A]and a lov[Em]e that is sol[Bm]id as [A]stone
like a [Asus4]stone
[A]Son,

[Verse 6]
[G]don't let [C]your horse
shoes point [D]down
[G]never put a [F]blade in the [D]ground
[G]always look a [C]man right
[Bm]square in [A]the eye
don't [G]let the good [A]life pass
you [D]by
