I am sure that this is not completely correct, but it is close enough and since
there are no submissions for this song I felt compelled to post SOMETHING since
this is an incredible song that deserves to be played. Jamey Johnson holds to the
true outlaw traditions of the Highwaymen members during their origional careers -
definetely worth checking out! P.S. This is my virgin post so be kind!
Fingerpick/arpeggiate throughout song - find you'r own pattern n rythm
Dsus2 Dm Bm7 G (x2)
G A Dsus2 (opt. hammer a string w/ the A chord)

G A Dsus2
I remember all the times I fell
G A Dsus2
Like somebody knew me all to well

It was my life story I was listening to
G A
I don't know 'bout you
Dsus2 Dm
But I buried family and a few good friends
Bm7 G
Held a brand new baby in my hands

You see this ain't just what I do.....It's who I am

Dsus2 Dm Bm7 G (x2)
G A Dsus2
G A Dsus2
I remember how it blew my mind
G A Dsus2
When I played my song and watched a grown man cry
G A Bm7
It was at that moment where I just knew
G A
What I was born to do
Dsus2 Dm
You see most songwriters never get the fame
Bm7 G
And most folks don't even recognize their names
Dsus2 Bm7 G A (emphasize G&A)
But chances are you've probably sang along
Dsus2 Dm
To Harlen Howard or Bob Mcdill
Bm7 G
To Whitey Shaffer..and my friend Whispering Bill
Dsus2 Bm7
And all the songs that ever gave us chills......(pause)
G A Dsus2 (hit and hold to fade)
