Ukulele chords to play along with the official video:
I have listed two versions here, the first one is a simplified version for easy strumming.
The second version includes some additional changes to make it sound more like the guitars in the official
version of the song.
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C Someone asked me once in an interview C What was growin' up like? Where'd you go to school? F C C And what would you do if you weren't doin' this?
[Verse 2]
C I'd be drivin' my first car, an old worn-out Dodge C F Tryin' to make rent with a dead-end job, just makin' do Am G F With tips in a jar, my guitar, and an old barstool
[Chorus]
C I'd have a Friday night crowd in the palm of my hand Em C Cup of brown liquor, couple buddies in a band Am G F Singin' them same damn songs like I am now C I'd be feelin' on fire on a hardwood stage Em C Bright lights like lightning runnin' through my veins Am G F At the Grand Ole Opry or a show in some no-name town C C I'd still be doin' this if I wasn't doin' this
[Verse 3]
C I'd still be the same guy they knew back in the day C Who was burnin' CDs just to give away F C Payin' his dues if I wasn't doin' this
[Verse 4]
C Five deep in a van, head full of steam C F Hot on the heels of my neon dreams maybe comin' true Am G F Livin' this life just like I was born to do
[Chorus]
C I'd have a Friday night crowd in the palm of my hand Em C Cup of brown liquor, couple buddies in a band Am G F Singin' them same damn songs like I am now C I'd be feelin' on fire on a hardwood stage Em C Bright lights like lightning runnin' through my veins Am G F At the Grand Ole Opry or a show in some no-name town C I'd still be doin' this if I wasn't doin' this
[Instrumental]
C F
[Bridge]
Am It ain't about the fame G It ain't about the fortune C It ain't about the name F It ain't about the glory Am G F I guess I'm sayin' it's always been a-bout
[Chorus]
C Having a Friday night crowd in the palm of my hand Em C Cup of brown liquor, couple buddies in a band Am G F Singin' them same damn songs like I am now C I'd be feelin' on fire on a hardwood stage Em C Bright lights like lightning runnin' through my veins Am G F At the Grand Ole Opry or a show in some no-name town C C I'd still be doin' this if I wasn't doin' this
[Outro]
C Someone asked me once in an interview C What was growin' up like? Where'd you go to school? F C And what would you do if you weren't doin' this?
For the second version listed below, I have included some additional chord changes to give more of the
motion of the guitar parts in the official version.
Notes in parentheses are indivdual notes played to match the walking patterns in the song. These can be
played or skipped. For the C5 C5* C passages, I hammer on to fret 2 of the G string and then lift 2 fingers
off so only the C remains.
