Fifty Years Too Late

E G A E

[Verse 1]
        E
I love spring and dogs and rusty 
screen doors
G
Candle light on creaky wood floors
   A                            
A good sunrise and fireflys in a 
  E
jar, yessir
   E
A banjo ringing through the pines
    G                              
The way I feel on homemade wine and
  A
 jug fishing
                     E
Under a sky full of stars

[Pre-Chorus 1]
          A                   E
Said I'm okay, yes, I'm just fine
               A
Just wish the world would move 
slower
        B
Or that I could go back in time

[Chorus]
                       E
Well, but I'm still a down home 
southern boy
   G                       A      
I don't need nothing just enough 
         E
to get me by
       E                      G
I was raised at an early age when 
you shake a man's hand
     A                      E
You look him square in the eye
             E                     
Well, I'm a real cool, old school, 
 G
don't you lie to me fool
       A                         
There ain't a damn thing about me 
  E
fake
       E                      G
I'm a modern day John Wayne, got my 
daddy's last name
A                     E         E
Born fifty years too late, yep
  G  A  E


[Verse 2]
    E                       G
So whatever happened to an honest 
day's work
A                   E
Sweating hard in a flannel shirt
        E                   G
It's a fast paced rat race, no 
giving all take
A                   E
Who's gonna finish first
E              G              
Nowadays it's safe to say that a 
    A                   E
damn dog's got more rights
       E                           
Cause the administration's trying 
  G
to rule the population
           A                       
Folks, we gotta stand up, we gotta 
  E
fight

[Pre-Chorus 2]
                A                  
But I don't complain, just take it 
         E
all in stride
                    A
It just seems this whole world, it 
has changed
B
Almost overnight
