Chords

[Verse 1]
G
I grew up in the country

     Cadd9             D
Six kids in a two room shack

Cadd9                   G
Soon as I learned those three chords

  D       Cadd9      G
I had a guitar on my back

G
I wanted to carry a football

     Cadd9                    D
That dream came and went real soon

Cadd9                        G
Made it through two years of college

      D           Cadd9   G
Thank God I could carry a tune

Cadd9    G              D            Cadd9   G
Nah nah, yeah-eh, thank God, I could carry a tune
[Chorus]
           Cadd9            G
I've known love, I've known pain

             Em            D
Got a little rusty in the rain

          Cadd9           G
I've been lost, I've been found

          Em                      D
I left my mark on my little bitty town

      Cadd9                G
Yeah, raised me a few good babies

 Em                     D
Raised me a whole lotta hell

    Cadd9            G
And if I ever get to heaven

    D            Cadd9    G
I'm gonna have a story to tell, yeah

Cadd9 G              D            Cadd9    G
If I, get there, I'm gonna have a story to tell
[Verse 2]
G
I drank a lot of cheap whiskey

 Cadd9             D
Shut down too many bars

Cadd9               G
Low as a dog in the valley

    D           Cadd9    G
And high as the Carolina stars

G
I've kissed some girls, still missed some girls

     Cadd9                 D
Most beautiful you've ever seen

  Cadd9              G
I gave my heart to a woman

    D             Cadd9      G
Who didn't give a damn about me
[Chorus]
           Cadd9            G
I've known love, I've known pain

             Em            D
Got a little rusty in the rain

          Cadd9           G
I've been lost, I've been found

          Em                      D
I left my mark on my little bitty town

      Cadd9                G
Yeah, raised me a few good babies

 Em                     D
Raised me a whole lotta hell

    Cadd9            G
And if I ever get to heaven

    D            Cadd9    G
I'm gonna have a story to tell, yeah

Cadd9 G              D            Cadd9    G
If I, get there, I'm gonna have a story to tell
[Bridge]
      Em                    G
It's got some parts that'll make you laugh

    Cadd9                 G
And some that'll make you cry

     Em                   G
Some pages I wish I could tear out

       Cadd9               G
Well I ain't gonna tell no lie

       Cadd9              G
'Cause it's a story of my life

           G
No I can't preach or give no advice

  Cadd9                G
I didn't do everything well

    G
But man, just live while you're alive

    D             Cadd9    G
And try to have a story to tell
[Chorus]
           Cadd9            G
I've known love, I've known pain

             Em            D
Got a little rusty in the rain

               Cadd9           G
Yeah I've been lost, I've been found

          Em                      D
I left my mark on my little bitty town

  Cadd9                G
I raised me a few good babies

   Em                     D
I raised me a whole lotta hell

    Cadd9            G
And if I ever get to heaven

    D            Cadd9    G
I'm gonna have a story to tell, yeah

Cadd9 G               D                Cadd9    G
If I, get there, I'll have a real good story to tell

Cadd9    G             D                Cadd9    G
Nah nah, yeah-eh, I'll have a real good story to tell
