Tom: D
D C G Gm
[Verse 1]
D C G D
Well I'm not one to whine or cry, or wallow in self-pity
D C G D
I take life in stride, and smell the roses when I can
D C G D
and I am one of those lucky guys who's happy just to be here
D C G D
Doin what I love, and thankful that I am
[Chorus]
Bm G
With all of life's temptation's this dream that I've been chasin,
D A Bm
it's a wonder I aint long since dead and gone
G D Bm
I've cheated undertakers, I've dang near met my maker,
E7 G A D
I'm tell y'all, I'm lucky to be here at all
[Verse 2]
D C G D
My heart hit the cigarettes, and straight Kentucky Bourbon
D C G D
Takin' their toll, and doin their best to do me in
D C G D
Guitars and beer joint bars up and down the highway
D C G D
If I could start all over, I'd do it all again
[Chorus]
Bm G
With all of life's temptation's this dream that I've been chasin,
D A Bm
it's a wonder I aint long since dead and gone
G D Bm
I've cheated undertakers, I've dang near met my maker,
E7 G A D
I'm tell y'all, I'm lucky to be here at all
[Bridge]
F#m G
And when I die I'll thank the good Lord face to face
F A
For his patience and grace
[Chorus]
Bm G
With all of life's temptation's this dream that I've been chasin,
D A Bm
it's a wonder I aint long since dead and gone
G D Bm
I've cheated undertakers, I've dang near met my maker,
E7 G A D
I'm tell y'all, I'm lucky to be here at all
