Here For A Good Time Chords

   
A fun drinking/campfire song by George Strait! 

A couple notes: E5, C#5 and D5 are all barre chords relative to the capo (7th, 6th 
and 4th on A, the bass note), all chords are played with a half-step slide (listen 
to the song for clarification, I'm not sure what the terminology is for that), and enjoy!. 

Capo II
 
E                                                                                      
I'm not gonna lay around and whine and moan 
                  B
cuz somebody done done me wrong  
                                                                                                   
Don't think for a minute that I'm gonna sit 
                         E
around and sing some old sad song
A                              B      
I believe it's half full not a half empty glass
A                            B
Every day I wake up knowing it could be my last

Chorus:
                   A         B
I ain't here for a long time
               E
I'm here for a good time
                A                          B
So bring on the sunshine, to hell with the red wine
              E
Pour me some moon shine
A                 B                  E5   D#5     C#5             
When I'm gone put it in stone "He left nothing behind"
         B          A         B
I ain't here for a long time
               E
I'm here for a good time


E 
Folks are always dreaming ‘bout what they’d like to do 
                      B
but I like to do just what I like      
  
I’ll take the chance, dance the dance, 
                                    E   
it might be wrong but then again it might be right
A                         B
There's no way of knowing what tomorrow brings
A                                  B
Life's too short to waste it I say bring on anything


Chorus:
                   A        B
I ain't here for a long time
               E
I'm here for a good time
                A                          B
So bring on the sunshine, to hell with the red wine
              E
Pour me some moon shine
A                 B                  E5   D#5     C#5             
When I'm gone put it in stone "He left nothing behind"
         B          A         B
I ain't here for a long time
                     E5   D#5      C#5             
I'm here for a good time
B                         A   B
I ain't here for a long time
               E
I'm here for a good time
