[Intro]
C G C F C G C
[Verse 1]
C G May the wind be at your back C And the world sit at your feet F C May you waltz across Wyoming F G With a rose clutched in your teeth C G May the answers to your questions C Fall like raindrops right on cue F C And may you set up shop in heaven F G C Before the Devil knows you're due
[Chorus]
G C Ohh, here's to love F Here's to life C F All the fair and tender ladies G And the plain dirt-farmer's wife C Yeah, here's to you F Here's to me C F Some ol' mad dog mountain flyboy F G C And the kid from Tennessee
[Guitar Solo]
C G C F C G C
[Verse 2]
C G May your nights be filled with laughter C And your days with honest work F C May you wake up smelling roses F G When you're facedown in the dirt C G If you had the sense to come in C When the storm clouds start to grow F C Then you wouldn't be my right hand F G C And the best friend that I know
[Chorus]
G C Ohh, here's to life F And here's to love C F When your heart beats like a lion G And your shoes fit like a glove C Yeah, here's to you F And here's to me C F Some ol' mad dog mountain flyboy F G C And the kid from Tennessee
[Guitar & Harmonica Solos]

[Verse 3]
C G May you always stay in touch C With the things that keep you young F C When you're staring at injustice F G May you never bite your tongue C G May the bear tracks in your future C Find you downwind in a glade F C Where the grass as green as absinthe F G C Comes in forty different shades
[Chorus]
G C Ohh, here's to love F And here's to life C F All the fair and tender ladies G And the old fishmonger's wife C Yeah, here's to you F Here's to me C F Some ol' mad dog mountain flyboy F G C And the kid from Tennessee G C F Yeah, set 'em up, the drinks are free C F It's the mad dog mountain flyboy F G C And the kid from Tennessee
