Against The Grain

D

[Verse 1]
D
Folks call me a maverick, guess I 
ain't too diplomatic,
     C              G        
Just never been the kind to go 
   D
along.
      D
Just avoiding confrontation, for the
 sake of conformation
           C             G    
And I'll admit I tend to sing a 
            A
different song.

[Pre-chorus 1]
    Bm                   A        
Sometimes you just can't be afraid
    G
 to wear a different hat.
     E                           
If Columbus had complied this ol' 
                      A
world might still be flat.

[Chorus]
D                          F
  Nothing ventured, nothing gained,
    G                   C   G    
Sometimes you've got to go 
      D
against the grain.

[Verse 2]
      D
Well, I’ve been accused of making my
 own rules.

              C               
There must be rebel blood just 
   G                  D
a-runnin' through my veins.
      D
But I ain't no hypocrite, what you 
see is what you get.
               C          G       
And that's the only way I know to 
         A
play the game.

[Pre-chorus 2]
    Bm             A        G
Old Noah took much ridicule building
 his great ark.
          E                        
But after 40 days and 40 nights, he
                    A
 was looking pretty smart.

[Chorus]
    D                           
Sometimes it's best to brave the 
          F
wind and rain.
   G                      C   G  
By havin' the strength to go 
        D
against the grain.

[Verse 3]
              E
Well, there's more folks than a few,
 who share my point of view.
            D                  A  
But they're worried if they're 
           E
gonna sink or swim.
       E
They'd like to buck the system but 
the deck is stacked against 'em.
              D                A  
And they're a little scared to go 
         B
out on a limb.

[Pre-chorus 3]
              C#m         
But if you're gonna make a 
 B                     A
difference, if you're gonna leave 
your mark.
          F#                    
You can't follow like a bunch of 
sheep, you've gotta listen to your 
 B
heart.

[Chorus]
E                            G
  Go bustin' in like ol' John Wayne.
    A                   D   A    
Sometimes you've got to go 
      E
against the grain.

E                         G
  Nothing ventured nothing gained,
    A                   D   A    
Sometimes you've got to go 
      E
against the grain.
