G                     C              G
I knew a man who came down from Kentucky
 G                                A          D
And everyone would whisper, "Boy he sure is lucky"
          G                             C            G
He'd go to church every Sunday and have breakfast at Stuckey's
                       D     G
He rubbed somebody the right way

G                  C          G
And all I'm askin' for you to do
 G                               A    D
Is live by this simple creed I give to you
 G                          C      G
Just take five minutes out of your day
 G                   D     G
And rub somebody the right way

 G                            C          G
Well I knew a woman who could act like a girl
 G                        A            D
She held the secret for peace in this world
     G                           C            G
She'd stand on her porch, with a baton she'd twirl
  G                        D      G
Singing, "Rub somebody the right way"

[Chorus]
 G                   C        G
And all I'm askin' for you to do
 G                             A        D
Is live by this simple creed I give to you
  G                       C         G
Just take five minutes out of your day
  G                   D     G
And rub somebody the right way

[BRIDGE][Verse]
 F                                   C
Now I know there's times you're frustrated and low
 F                        C
You'd like a shotgun to shoot down your foes
 F                               C
You swam with your sorrows, but both of you drowned
 F                        A             D
So tighten your seatbelt, wipe off that frown

[Chorus]
 G                   C        G
And all I'm askin' for you to do
 G                             A        D
Is live by this simple creed I give to you
 G                       C         G
Just take five minutes out of your day
 G                   D     G
And rub somebody the right way

[Verse]
 G                     C              G
Time passes quick, and you know how it goes
 G                                       A     D
You can open your arms, you can turn up your nose
 G                                           C               G
You'll have much, much more fun if you make peace with your foes
 G                     D     G
And rub somebody the right way

[Chorus]
 G                     C       G
And all I'm askin' for you to do
 G                            A        D
Is live by this simple creed I give to you
  G                       C         G
Just take five minutes out of your day
  G                   D     G
And rub somebody the right way
[Repeat]
G                     D       G
Got to rub somebody the right way
