George Jones – I Just Got Tired Of Being Poor (Guitar)

   C                 F                G
My life with trouble goes back to the candy

       F                 C                Dm    G
That I stole from Jessie Walker's country store

  C                       F                   C
A penny seperated me from choosing sides with honesty

F              G              C
And I just got tired of being poor

G                                  C
Some folks eat their supper off of silver

G                                       C
And the only world they'll ever know is wealth

    D                                      G
But I can't blame the rich folks for these big stone walls

D                            G
This prison is the doings of myself

C           F               G
Freedom ran away from me at twenty-three

F                   C           Dm    G
I broke the lock on one to many doors

   C
My hungry hands would not behave

F                      C
When they got close to things they crave

F          G              C
I just got tired of bein' poor

C          F               G
I remember Willie Jack who laughed at me

        F                 C                Dm    G
And the talking about the ragged clothes I wore

C                                 F                   C
That's when Willie got a taste of all knuckles in his face

F          G              C
I just got tired of bein' poor

G                                  C
Some folks eat their supper off of silver

G                                       C
And the only world they'll ever know is wealth

    D                                      G
But I can't blame the rich folks for these big stone walls

D                            G
This prison is the doings of myself

C           F               G
Freedom ran away from me at twenty-three

F                   C           Dm    G
I broke the lock on one to many doors

   C
My hungry hands would not behave

F                      C
When they got close to things they crave

F          G              C
I just got tired of bein' poor

F          G              C
I just got tired of bein' poor
