The Good Life

Cadd9   D/F#

[Verse 1]
D/F#                   Cadd9
He was not the kind of man
           Em7                     
That would walk you to school hand 
   D/F#
in hand
       D/F#                    Cadd9
He was hard work leathered and tan
       Em7                         
And he spoke with a throat full of 
D/F#
sand
Em          G        A
Me I'd hang on every word
Em             G              A
You never know what you might learn


[Chorus]
     G              C             
Son, don't let your horseshoes 
   D
point down
G           C            D
Never put a blade in the ground
G             C         Bm      
Always look a man right square 
            Bm A
in the eye
      G            C             D
Don't let the good life pass you by

[Verse 2]
D/F#                  Cadd9
Any little problem of mine
     Em7                        D/F#
He'd spit and say boy you'll be fine
D/F#                        Cadd9
He knew that there'd come a time
     Em7                        
When I'd find real mountains to 
D/F#
climb
Em          G           A
Life can be cruel to us all
Em        G        A
Sooner or later we fall


[Chorus]
     G              C             
Son, don't let your horseshoes 
   D
point down
G           C            D
Never put a blade in the ground
G             C         Bm      
Always look a man right square 
            Bm A
in the eye
      G            C             D
Don't let the good life pass you by

[Verse 3]
D/F#                   Cadd9
Only ever once saw him cry
    Em7                     D/F#
The day that his own mother died
         D/F#                      
Just one tear in the corner of his 
Cadd9
eye
        Em7                      
Then he smiled and said, softly, 
D/F#
goodbye
Em          G         A
Me I've got two of my own
      Em           G        A
And a love that is solid as stone
       A
Like a stone


[Chorus]
     G              C             
Son, don't let your horseshoes 
   D
point down
G           C            D
Never put a blade in the ground
G             C         Bm      
Always look a man right square 
            Bm A
in the eye
      G            C             D
Don't let the good life pass you by
