I don't know the words, but the chords start with: F C/E Dm C F C/E Dm C (repeat once) then: G FaddG C G C G C G G FaddG C G C G/B A The words over the last C G/B A are "Life's been good to me so far" Then it goes back to F C/E Dm etc Shapes: EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE xx3213 x20003 xx2010 FaddG G/B C/E I think you know the others.... Hope this gets you started- the rest of the song is mostly repeats and variations on these bits i.e the intro riff, acoustic chords and the main body of the song (the bit above with the chords) Hope y'all enjoy!
