These are the right cords... I got them off her video
(it showed them so it wasn't a guessing game).
Capo- 3rd fret
-Verse 1-
G
Found a piece of candy on the floor
C D
and I couldn't resist but taste it
G
Momma wanted to smack me
C D
and that's when I made up my mind and I ate it
Em
and I have to admit it
D C G
tasted better than the ones in the kitchen cupboard
-Verse 2-
G C D
Every night I'd look out the bedroom window and wonder what it's like to run away
G C D
Daddy told me he would hit me if I did it so I made up my mind and I ran away
Em D C
and I have to admit it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be
-Chorus-
C D
What doesn't kill you makes you sick
Em G
and if you're sick you learned a lesson
C D Em G
and with every lesson you get wiser (wiser)
C D Em
So I figure that it pays to cross the line
G C
and eat a little dirt sometimes
D Em G
-Verse-
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/susan_justice/eat_dirt_crd.html ]
G C D
I found a book about mystical things but momma said it's against our religion
G C D
So late at night I'd read it anyways and that was the last time I asked for permission
Em D C
and I have to admit that I don't regret telling her lies 'cause it opened my eyes
-Chorus-
C D
What doesn't kill you makes you sick
Em G
and if you're sick you learned a lesson
C D Em G
and with every lesson you get wiser (wiser)
C D Em
So I figure that it pays to cross the line
G C
and eat a little dirt sometimes
-Bridge-
Am F Em
I won't let my years go to waste living in a cage
G C
this prodigal child will always stray
D
I got over the stomach ache
Em G C D C
wiped the mud off my face 'cause this world belongs to the brave
-Chorus-
C D
What doesn't kill you makes you sick
Em G
and if you're sick you learned a lesson
C D Em G
and with every lesson you get wiser (wiser)
C D Em
So I figure that it pays to cross the line
G C D Em
and eat a little dirt sometimes ('cause this world belongs to the brave)
G C D Em
and eat a little dirt sometimes ('cause this world belongs to the brave)
G C D Em G
and eat a little dirt sometimes
-Ending verse-
C D Em G
Found a piece of candy on the floor
