SONG: I ALWAYS WANTED TO ARTIST: CODY JOHNSON TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: [email protected] INTRO: G A D G D G VERSE:
    D
Outside there's a rusty pickup

 G
Underneath a shed

 A
Mockingbird's nest in the tailpipe

       G                  A
Empty feed sack in the bed

 D
They took away my keys

        G
Sayin' I'm too old to drive

      A
It's like they're tryin' to bury me

       G
While I'm still alive
CHORUS:
A                  D
I always wanted a son

                   G
I always wanted a woodshed

                    A
I always wanted to ride on an open range

                                  D
And learn how to fly a plane, but I, I guess

A                 D
Even pictures we never take

                            G
Memories we'll never make still fade

                   A
I never did all I wanted to do

                      D    G
But I always wanted to
VERSE:
 D
They talk like I can't hear 'em

      G
When they have to change my sheets

  A
They're getting tired and angry

       G                    A
'Cause I won't accept defeat

       D
Uncle Frank lived to be a hundred

 G
Hell, I'm only ninety five

A
I ain't raising no white flag

       G
While I'm still alive
CHORUS:
A                  D
I always wanted a son

                   G
I always wanted a woodshed

                    A
I always wanted to ride on an open range

                                  D
And learn how to fly a plane, but I, I guess

A                 D
Even pictures we never take

                            G
Memories we'll never make still fade

                   A
I never did all I wanted to do

              D       D  G   A   A
But I always wanted to
VERSE:
      D
My Marie showed up this morning

  G
Floatin' right above that chair

         A
And she smiled the sweetest smile at me

        Em               A
As she hovered in the air

           D
When that fever stole her from me

              G
I was twenty seven, she was just twenty five

         A
I never dreamed I'd see my angel again

       G
While I'm still alive
CHORUS:
A                  D
I always wanted a son

                   G
I always wanted a woodshed

                    A
I always wanted to ride on an open range

                                  D
And learn how to fly a plane, but I, I guess

A                 D
Even pictures we never take

                            G
Memories we'll never make still fade

                   A
I never did all I wanted to do

              D       D  G
But I always wanted to

                   A
I never did all I wanted to do

                      D   G   D   G   D
But I always wanted to
(BAGPIPES - Until end of song) ************************************************************************ ================================ INTRO ================================= ************************************************************************ NOTE: The INTRO is based on the chords I have indicated and with a capo on the 5th fret. I do not know how to show completely all the picking on a tab but highlighted the main notes played. Here is how I sort of play it along with the record. Feel free to improvise. Again, this is just how I personally play it. This was not neccessary to include since this is a CHORD tab. However, I thoughtI would. Please base your rating on the chords I have indicated. Thanks.
