Chords

There is a walk-down with the G during the verse on the B string (3-2-0). Additional hammer-ons and pull-offs throughout with finger picking. If you'd like to see my version of this song for reference, it's located here: [Verse]
   G
Lately things are on my mind

   G                  D  D/F#
Good news is hard to find

   G
And I work on the factory line

   G                  D   A
And all I do is stay behind

   G
Call my mama like I should

   G                            D  D/F#
She says daddy ain't doing too good

   G
Me and him should wet a line

   G                       D   A
Just can't seem to find the time
[Chorus]
      G    A   D
But I love my life

            G    A   D
Man it's something to see

           G           D              A
It's the kids and the dogs and you and me

      G      A     D
It's the way it's alright

     G      A     Bm
Everything goes wrong

         G          A          G
It's a sound of a slow simple song
[Verse]
    G
Finally saved some money up

    G                  D  D/F#
'Til I had to fix my truck

   G
Talked to brother the other day

   G                      D    A
He didn't have too much to say

   G
Tryna quit these cigarettes

   G                    D  D/F#
I can't seem to kick em yet

  G
Sister got laid off last fall

  G                   D   A
And I got high cholesterol
[Chorus]
      G    A   D
But I love my life

         G       A    D
Man it's something to see

           G           D              A
It's the kids and the dogs and you and me

        G    A     D
It's the way it's alright

     G      A     Bm
Everything goes wrong

         G          A          G
It's a sound of a slow simple song
[Chorus]
      G    A   D
Yeah I love my life

            G    A   D
Man it's something to see

           G           D              A
It's the kids and the dogs and you and me

          G    A     D
It's the way it's alright

     G      A     Bm
Everything goes wrong

         G          A          G
It's a sound of a slow simple song
