G D C G C D When I was a kid Uncle Remus he put me to bed G D C G C D With a picture of Stonewall Jackson above my head Em D Then daddy came in to kiss his little man Em D With gin on his breath and a Bible in his hand C D He talked about honor and things I should know C D Then he'd stagger a little as he went out the door
[Chorus]
G D Em D C Em Am D I can still hear the soft Southern winds in the live oak trees G D Em D C And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me Em Am D Hank and Tennessee C D Em D C I guess we're all gonna be what we're gonna be D G So what do you do with good ole boys like me G (two measures) e|-----------------| e|-----------------| b|-----0---3-------| b|-----0---3-------| G|-------2-------o-| G|-------2-------0-| D|---0-------0h2---| D|---0-------0h2---| A|-----------------| A|-----------------| E|-3---------------| E|-3---------------|
[Verse 2]
G D C G C D Nothing makes a sound in the night like the wind does, G D C G C D But you ain't afraid if you're washed in the blood like I was. Em D The smell of Cape Jasmine through the window screen Em D John R. and The Wolfman Kept me company C D By the light of the radio by my bed, C D With Thomas Wolfe whispering in my head.
[Chorus]
G D Em D C Em Am D I can still hear the soft Southern winds in the live oak trees G D Em D C And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me Em Am D Hank and Tennessee C D Em D C I guess we're all gonna be what we're gonna be D G So what do you do with good ole boys like me [Between Chorus & 3rd Verse, you play this] G D C D e|------------------------------------------------------| B|-------0-------------3-------------1------------3-----| G|-----0---0---0-----2---2---2-----0--0---0-----2---2---| D|---0-------0-----0-------0-----2------2-----0-------0-| A|---------------0-------------3------------0-----------| E|-3----------------------------------------------------|
[Verse 3]
G D C G C D When I was in school I ran with a kid down the street, G D C G C D And I watched him burn himself up on bourbon and speed, Em D But I was smarter than that, and I could choose. Em D Learned to talk like the man on the six o'clock news. C D When I was eighteen, lord, I hit the road C D But it really doesn't matter how far I'd go
[Chorus]
G D Em D C Em Am D I can still hear the soft Southern winds in the live oak trees G D Em D C And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me Em Am D Hank and Tennessee C D Em D C I guess we're all gonna be what we're gonna be D Em D C So what do you do with good ole boys like me D G Yeah So what do you do with good ole boys like me [Outro] e|-----------------| b|-----0-----------| G|-------0h2-0-----| D|---0---------0h2-| A|-----------------| E|-3---------------| (x3, the strum a G chord)
