G                      C                    G
I've been sitting here thinking back oer my life
           A7                          D7
All of the good things the trouble and strife
                 G                           C
Well my share of heart ache yes so many I've had
                      G          D7            G
But I still think the good things outweigh the bad


[Chorus]
                    C                         G
Well I've rocked my babies at night when they cried
                       A7            D7
I've seen the teardrops turned into smiles
                  G                             C
And that's when I realize all the bad luck I've had
                   G          D7            G
And I know all the good things outweigh the bad


[Verse 2]
                     C                  G
Well I'll never have riches no money to spare
                      A7               D7
Just a sharecropper's wages is my only fare
              G                       C
Yes making my living just working the land
                      G          D7            G
But I still think the good things outweigh the bad


[Chorus]

Well I've rocked my babies at night when they cried
                       A7            D7
I've seen the teardrops turned into smiles
                  G                             C
And that's when I realize all the bad luck I've had
                   G          D7            G
And I know all the good things outweigh the bad


[Verse 3]
                    C                         G
Yes I've worked the cotton in the heat of the day
                  A7                         D7
And then paid the landlord nearly all that I made
                    G                     C
Well I've seen high water take all that I had
                      G          D7            G
But I still think the good things outweigh the bad
