D*
Every morning and every night,
N.C. I prepare for what I do, N.C. Every morning, say every night, N.C. Nothing ever rings true, N.C. Every morning and every night, N.C. It ain't gonna change,
         D*
From the crack of dawn to the break of day,
N.C. 'Til they lie me in my grave. [Chorus]
C D
   Wild as a cyclone,

F G
  I'm smoother than homegrown,

C D
  Short-lived and long-gone,

F G  F*
       Chiseled on my headstone.

D*
Every morning and every night,
N.C. I prepare for what I do, N.C. Every morning, say every night, N.C. I end up black and blue, N.C. Every morning and every night, N.C. Got no one left to blame,
         D*
From the dirt floor dives to the lows and highs,
N.C. And it'll always be the same. [Chorus]
C D
   Wild as a cyclone,

F G
  I'm smoother than homegrown,

C D
  Short-lived and long-gone,

F G  F*
       Chiseled on my headstone.

      D*
I'm a bad man,

                       F6*
Guess there ain't much more for me to say,

G*
Bloodshot eyes and twisted lies,

      D*
I got one foot in the grave,

      D
I'm a bad man,

                              F6
I guess that's something that will never change,

        D
And the way I'm feeling right now,

      G
I got both feet in the grave,

           D
Yeah I'm a bad man,

                   F6
Guess I better get on my knees and pray,

          G
'Cause it won't be long, no it won't be long,

         D
'Til I'm six feet in the clay.
