Chords

This is a great song by my favorite artist. I've listened to it a dozen times or more and im pretty sure the key Brantley plays it in is A# but I have it in A so just put the capo on fret 1.
Intro: | F  G |  Am     | x2
Verse: 1

F                G             Am
Growing up I was always mama's angel

F             G              Am
Never new I'd ever fall from grace

        F                 G                 Am
I was taught to walk With God and run from trouble

         F                                         G
But I ran with a crowd that was bound to change my ways
Chorus:
         C
I was proud to be in the bad news crowd

       G
The one my mama warned me about

       Am            G                F
The closest thing to hell she'd ever raised

            C                                 G
But when I look back on those days I knew I'd never change a thing

   Am                G                    F
I made mistakes that paved the way to the man I am today

                 Csus2           G  (let G ring)
I’m proud of em all, and I had a ball
bending the rules and breaking the law
Intro:   F  G  Am  x2
Verse: 2

       F                  G                 Am
We were bad about sneakin out and shootin  road signs

F                 G                     Am
Throwing eggs and rollin every yard in town

        F                   G                    Am
Yeah my claim to fame was a babe Ruth swing on a mailbox

         F                           G
Yeah the police just love driving me around
Chorus: Bridge:
Csus2             G
Yeah you learn to walk the way you talk

     F
The DUI means SOL

G
Respect was earned

                      Am    G    F
You live and learn to pray

             G
You learn to pray

         C
We were proud to be in the bad news crowd

    G
The one our mamas warned us about

       Am            G                  F
The closest thing to hell they’ve ever raised

           C                                    G
But when I look back on those days I know we'd never change a thing

Am                 G                      F
Made mistakes that paved the way for the men we are today

                Csus2                      G  (let  G  ring)
We’re proud of em all, yall. And we had a ball
Bending the rules and breaking the law Outro: F G Am x2
