Capo 5th fret (or play open in the key of C) This song is in 4/4, but has some goofy accents: band enters on the "and" of beat 1 for the intro and after the first chorus; enters on beat 2 after the second and last choruses. The acoustic guitar plays the bass notes of the chords on the beat, but otherwise largely accents the chords (down strum) on the "and"s. Intro: | G - - - | C G/B Am - | C - D - | G - - - | Verse 1: G G G/F# Em G

Intro Verse 2: They say that nobler men prevail, and lord knows that I'm not one I put off all my growing up for the sake of having fun I'll do right by you someday, but I’m damned if I know how ‘Cause I follow where my compass leads, but it's always pointing south Chorus Fiddle solo over the chorus progression Alternate Chorus: (sung a capella over claps and hollers) Throw me out, I’m wasted in so many ways Toss me back, into that deep dark sea Burn me up, just give me to the fire, doll Nothing good ever could come from me Chorus (same as above, but hold the C for a whole measure and follow with a D for a whole measure) Outtro: | - C G - | D - G C G |
