F#                   E             F#
four years down and twenty one to blow
                  E             F#
ten thousand more breakfasts to go
                            E           F#
fourteen million seconds of living this way
                                   E              F#        E    F#
and I guess it's time I started to pray them bars away

                         E               F#       G

                                     F               G      Ab
I heard that he went crazy tryin' to pray them bars away


                               F#              Ab
sometimes I miss the weman and miss them all I do
                                   F#                  Ab
sometimes I miss the whiskey and I miss the good times too
                           F#                Ab
sometimes I miss my mama I saw her christmas day
                           F#             Ab      A
but I never miss a time to pray them bars away


                                  G               A
I'm told I should be thankful for everything I've got
                                        G                    A
so thank you for the rock walls and the brave bulls thanks a lot
                                   G              A
and thank you for the good job and twenty cents a day
                                G               A        G-A  G-A
thank you for the break time to pray them bars away
