Dirty Shirt

Intro
D C G C D

D                                 
Ronnie wasn't much on the thought 
     G
of a coat and tie
D                                 
'Cause they ain't much good to a 
           G
man wearin' steel-toed boots from 
eight to five
C         Bm                     
He's been known to pop the top on
   D
 a brew
C                   G   
He came off a little rough 
               A
sometimes, but folks that know him 
knew

[Chorus:]
D
If you can look past a dirty shirt
C
See beyond greasy hands
      G                    C
You'll find a heart hard at work
                D
In a damn good man

D                                 
Army green seemed to suit him more
      G
 than college life
D                               G
That's what his old man did and he 
turned out alright
C                     Bm     
He never got him that great big 
            D
house or fancy car
C                     G          
But ya'll, it ain't the 
             A
neighborhood you're in, it's the 
neighbor that you are

[Chorus:]
D
If you can look past a dirty shirt
C
See beyond greasy hands
      G                    C
You'll find a heart hard at work
                D
In a damn good man

D

G                     A          
He's got scars and an angel on 
         D
his arm he got in Saigon in '65
G                A               
To most folks he ain't nothin' 
       Em                          
more than the ol' boy on the corner
       A
 changin' tires

          D
But if you look past a dirty shirt
C
See beyond the greasy hands
            G                    C
You're gonna find a heart hard at 
work

[Chorus:]
D
If you can look past a dirty shirt
C
See beyond greasy hands
      G                    C
You'll find a heart hard at work
                D
In a damn good man
