Blackberry Smoke – Lonesome For A Livin (Guitar)

    C
You might say the reason I was put on this earth

       F7                      C   G
Was to pour out my heart every day

     C
It's just what comes natural Like takin' a breath

        F7          Ab7         C
I could sing what I never could say

      Am                     F7          C
I put quite a few tears into quite a few beers

     Am                      C
Yes, I've worn my soul on my sleeve

     Am                               G
Laid out there for the whole world to see

          F7                          C
Yeah, the blues have been My old boss man

    D7                       G
And lovesick, it knows me by name

          C         Cadd4          C      Am
You could say I was lonesome for a livin'

    C            G           C
And heartache is my claim to fame

  C
I lived all the lyrics For better or for worse

    F7                              C      G
The drinkin', the cheatin', and the lyin'

     C
Well I guess I walked it Just how I talked it

F7             Ab7      C
Both eyes wide open but stone blind

         Am                  F7            C
I wonder how many angels Are waitin' for me?

   Am                      C
To finally fall down on my knees

         Am                   G
And then put me back up on my feet

          F7                          C
Lord, the blues have been My old boss man

    D7                       G
And lovesick, it knows me by name

          C         Cadd4          C       Am
You could say I was lonesome for a livin'

    C            G           C
And heartache is my claim to fame

                F7         F#dim     C
I miss them old friends of mine That left me behind

Dm            G         C     C7
Seems like so many gone home

          F7           F#dim          C           Am
Yeah, but I still sing with 'em And I sure won't forget 'em

           D7                    G
I live the life of an old country song

          F7                          C
Lord, the blues have been My old boss man

    D7                       G
And lovesick, it knows me by name

          C         Cadd4          C       Am
You could say I was lonesome for a livin'

    C            G           C    Am
And heartache is my claim to fame

        C            G           (F7)
Oh, and heartache is my claim to fame
