I think he tunes down to a different key because I can’t get the
EXACT sound (open strings) but these chords will allow you to play
Along with the mp3.
Capo 3
D
I met a good friend a long time ago
D/C#
I could make it to the cooler shade
D
But I ended up burying myself alive
D/C#
To prove that I could use a spade
G
I could be the next, I could be the first
D
A few people even know my name
G
I'm a big league hitter with a hell of a glove
D A
But they never put me in the game
Chorus:
G A Bm
But I-I-I'm gonna be alright
G A D
If I leave here tonight
And I told a good friend a long time ago
I was gonna make it to the Hall of Fame
But she left me for a Hollywood movie star
She liked the way he spelled his name
I could be the best, I could be the worst
But I'm gonna tell you one thing's for sure
To those who fight for a life that's a special flavor
the shelter can never know
Chorus
Bridge:
Bm G
Mmmmmmmmmm, oohhhooohhh
Bm G
I try to find a little humor everywhere I go
Bm G
Mmmmmmmmmm, hey-hey
E7 A
A little humor is the only thing that keeps me sane
Oh and I begged my poor mom a long time ago
Not to hate me for the choice I made
And a minute in the sun's no price to pay
For a second in the cooler shade
I could be the one but I'm on the run
So don't come a knockin' on my door
I'll be swingin in a hammock strung 'tween the trees
Well I did it and I told you so
Closing Chorus:
Bm G
I'm gonna be alright
Bm G
I'm gonna be alright
G A Bm
I-I-I'm gonna be alright
G A D
If I leave here tonight
