Hayes Carll – If I May Be So Bold (Guitar)

E
It's no eternal mystery

          A                  E
You don't need a hard-earned clue

                                     B
Why some men do their damndest when half-a-damn would do

          E
There's a lifetime in the distance

          A                   B
And it's filled with love and gold

         E              B           E
And I'll find it yet if I may be so bold

       E
Yeah, some men do the congaroo

    A               E
And some men do the wheel

                            B
Some'll do most anything to hide the way they feel

    E
And some like givin' orders

    A               B
And some like to be told

    E                   B           E
But I'll make my way if I may be so bold

     A
Bold enough to make a difference

     E
Bold enough to say I care

                         B
Even when the will's not there

          E
There's a whole world out there waitin'

        A
Full of stories to be told

         E
And I'll heed the call and tell 'em all

     B         E
If I may be so bold

    E
The boys were emptying their glasses

       A              E
As the true believers will

                                         B
For what I guess these days passes for a good time or a thrill

            E
And they're tryin' hard to convince you

      A                    E
But I don't believe you're sold

   E                     B           E
So I'll step right up if I may be so bold

     A
Bold enough to make a difference

     E
Bold enough to say I care

                         B
Even when the will's not there

          E
There's a whole world out there waitin'

        A
Full of stories to be told

         E
And I'll heed the call and I'll live 'em all

     B         E
If I may be so bold

       E
I have stumbled 'round these country towns

         A                E
And I've swallowed up the sea

     E                                               B
I've wrestled with the question of just who I aim to be

     E
Been dealt hands I had to laugh at

         A
And some hands I'd like to fold

         E                B           E
But I'll play 'em all, if I may be so bold

     A
Bold enough to not surrender

     E
Bold enough to give a damn

                         B
Or to stay right where I am

          E
There's a whole world out there waitin'

        A             E
Full of stories to be told

         E
And I'll heed the call and I'll tell 'em all

   B           E
If I may be so bold

          E                B           Em7
Yeah I'll tell 'em all, if I may be so bold
