Intro: Am E F G C G

Today I drove through this ol’ town
Took a real good look around
Saw a lot of things I’d never seen before
An older couple holding hands
Young lovers picking out wedding bands
Things I’d never noticed
Until my eyes met yours

-(Chorus)-
Now I’m seeing things I’ve never seen
Dreaming dreams I’ve never dreamed
There’s been such a change in me
Since I felt your touch
Everywhere I go it seems folks
Can’t get close enough
Is the whole world in love
Or is it just us

When you walk with your head down
All you see’s the cold hard ground
But I looked up in time to catch a glimpse of you
If everyone on God’s green earth
Knew true love and what it’s worth
They’d know how I’m feeling
And share my point of view ‘cause

-(Chorus)-

Everywhere I go it seems folks
Can’t get close enough
Is the whole world in love
Or is it just us
Is it just us

INTRO: C F G7 F C (2x)

It’s cold out this mornin it’s rainin it’s pourin
My back’s actin up but so what, I’m alive and I’m breathin'
My baby’s still mad from that fight that we had
But her stomping around in the kitchen sure beats her leavin

CHORUS:
I’m doin better than I deserve
I guess I could complain, oh but things could be worse
There’s a lot of folks out there with a lot of good reasons to curse
But all things considered I’m doin better than I deserve

Well maybe someday all the debt’ll be paid off
I’ve have all i want, but for now, hey I don’t mind dreamin’
‘Cause I got what I need got this house with some trees in the yard
I got kids and wife and a life I believe in

CHORUS

SOLO

CHORUS 2:
I’m doin better than I deserve
The wolf ain’t at my door and I ain’t out of work
No matter how bad it gets someone somewhere’s got it worse
All things considered I’m doin better than I deserve

It’s cold out this mornin it’s rainin it’s pourin
My back’s actin up but guess what, I’m alive and I’m breathin

Oh yeah, thank ya
Well maybe someday all the debt’ll be paid of

You?d think by now
Every sound wouldn?t
Send a memory crashin?
Threw my brain
I Wouldn’t Mind The Shackles
If it, wadn’t for the rattle of the chain.

Certain little things she used to say
They come though loud and clear
It?s sad but I admit that I listen closer
Than I did when she was here
Now every noise sounds like her voice
And I?m torn between the pleasure and the pain
I Wouldn’t Mind The Shackles
If it, wadn’t for the rattle of the chain.

Chorus:
I Wouldn’t Mind The Shackles
I knew the day she left that I?d be wearin?
Them until the end of time
But everyday?s a battle
Just to keep the burden of my heart
From interfearin? with my mind.
It?s knowin? that I?ll always
Have her last goodbye
Ringin? in my ears
Drivin? me insane
I Wouldn’t Mind The Shackles
If it, wadn’t for the rattle of the chain.

Now it seems like every time I turn around
Here it comes again
Someone else is tellin? me
About the brand new love she wound up in
I tell myself
They all mean well
But I still tremble
At the mention of her name
I Wouldn’t Mind The Shackles
If it, wadn’t for the rattle of the chain.

Chorus:

No I Wouldn’t Mind The Shackles
If it, wadn’t for the rattle of the chain.

This is the intro and main filler riff throughout the song.
There is Dobro on the CD but this sounds pretty good on just guitar.

Intro chords: E A7 E B E (x2)

Dancin’ in the living room cuttin’ up a rug
Dancin’ with a baby looks more like a hug
Livin’ in a house made of saw mill wood
”Roll over Beethoven” never sounded so good

Chorus:
Come on baby, baby let’s go
Where we get the money honey I don’t know
One more baby’s alright by me
We’ll just add another limb to the family tree

Well raising up babies is our new sport
You’re one day late and I’m a dollar short
Now maybe it was planned maybe it was a goof
But a cat’s just gotta dance on a hot tin roof

Was It Good For You–Darryl Worley
written byCasey Beathard, Jim Collins, and Tim Owens

If I’m way off, let me know…but this sounds good enough to my ears.

CAPO II

Now don’t you worry baby I won’t tell
I’ll keep our little secret to myself
That’s fine no games no strings if you say so
But tell me just one thing before you go

CHORUS:
Was it good for you, ‘cause it was good for me
Was it anything and everything you thought it’d be
Hey I was bein bad, but baby you were too
And it was good for me, was it good for you

Ah this ain’t gonna leave me for a while
Not every girl can drive a boy that wild
Yeah you took me places I ain’t never been
And that’s one trip I’d love to take again

CHORUS

solo

Oh baby what you did, you just can’t undo
And it was good for me, was it good for you
It was good for me, say it was good for you

Oh was it good for you baby, it was sure good for me
Got a little crazy, didn’t it?

Cadd9 x32033

Intro: G Cadd9 D (4 times)

Gasoline prices are higher than ever

They line up to buy ‘cause they hate going slow

Someday I might learn to ride a bicycle

But I ain’t got no place to go

I pick up cigarette butts down at Kroger

They pay ten dollars to get rid of me

Some folks spend all of their money on nothin?

Hell I get my nothin’ for free

CHORUS:

I might buy me a bottle of five dollar booze

Give thanks for this shirt and this old pair of shoes

Build me a raft out of old inner tubes

Shove off and go for a cruise

Hell, I ain’t got nothin’ to lose

I used to spend all my time making money

Much in the fashion of my dear old dad

He could have taught me to ride a bicycle

Now I bet he wishes he had

G Cadd9 D (4 times)

I don’t have one thing to take care of tonight

And I was just thinking I might

CHORUS:

Go and buy me a bottle of five dollar booze

Give thanks for this shirt and this old pair of shoes

Build me a raft out of old inner tubes

Shove off and go for a cruise

Hell I ain’t got nothin’ to lose

I might just kick back and take me a snooze

Hell, I ain’t got nothin? to lose, y?all.

No, I ain?t got nothin? to lose.

G Cadd9 D to end

All day long i break my back

To keep this company in the black
There’s gotta be an end to all this labor
When i hear that whistle blow
I can’t wait to see your smilling face

And lose myself in your embrace
But lately every day when i walk in
oh it feels like work again

Chorus:
So maybe we should find ourselves a mountain top
A little place to stop for a while
Get above the things that made us feel this way
Hey a day or two and we’ll come back in style
Just a little time together

Oh it’s bound to make things better
Till the weight of this old world starts closing in
And it feels like work again

Now life ain’t no fairy tale,

and i guess we know all too well
How sometimes it can get a little crazy,
Yeah, that’s the way it is
So we just keep on going

But there’s a peace of mind in knowing
We can run off somewhere every now and then
When it feels like work again

Repeat chorus:

Inst: G / D / Em / A7 / A

Yeah, we just keep on going

Cause there’s a peace of mind is knowing
We can run off somewhere every now and then
When it feels like work again
When it feels like work again

Second Wind
Written By: Darryl Worley/Steve Leslie
Performed by Darryl Worley on CD Hard Rain Dont Last

(Intro)

Theres an old friendly breeze that blows in the Gulf of Mexico
Somehow it always knows when Im feeling low
So Im gonna anchor down and wait till it comes around
Leave the rest of the world behind, yeah thats how Ill pass the time

(Chorus)
Till I catch my second wind
Get back up and gain control again
Find the strength I lost back then
When you stopped loving me
I guess Ill just stay out here until I
Know the coast is clear
Sit and watch the tide roll in
Till I catch my second wind

Theres a peace in the way I feel when the waters still
And as long as its calm out here Ive got time to kill
But as soon as it starts to stir Ill lose track of the way things were
Float away on the open air, but Im not going anywhere

(Repeat Chorus)

I guess Ill just stay out here until I
Know the coast is clear
Sit and watch the tide roll in
Till I catch my second wind,
Yeah, sit and watch the tide roll in
Till I catch my second wind

VERSE:

If I could tell the truth
People just might see
Who I really am
Not who I have to be
I get so damn tired
Of playing by the rules
Afraid of what I’d lose
If I could tell the truth

CHORUS:

Nobody wants to listen
When it comes down to this
They’d rather take the truth and twist it
Than to tell it like it is
I don’t know how we got here
There’s really no excuse
I do it to get by
But I wouldn’t live this lie
If I could tell the truth

BREAK Em G D

VERSE:
If I could tell the truth
Girl we’d end up in a fight
And I would still be wrong
And you would still be right
We could stay right here
Another year or two
But I’m already gone
If I could tell the truth

CHORUS:

Nobody wants to listen
When it comes down to this
They’d rather take the truth and twist it
Than to tell it like it is
I don’t know how we got here
There’s really no excuse
I do it to get by
But I wouldn’t live this lie
If I could tell the truth[A-D]

TAG:
I’d do it to get by
But I wouldn’t live this lie
