LIFE AIN'T FAIR AND THE WORLD IS MEAN CHORDS
[Start] [Verse] B A E ■ ■ ■ Well that label man said E Son now can you sing a little bit more clear E Said Your voice might be too genuine E Your song's a little too sincere E Can you sing a little more about outlaws and A E The way things used to be E He told me You just worry about writing 'em songs [Chorus] B7 E Leave everything else ■ to me E Daddy was a highwayman E But he never wrote any old country song E Papaw never stayed out raising hell E 'til the break of dawn E But he raised a proud coal miners daughter A E And I'm proud to be her son E She told me Boy I don't care if you hit it big B7 'cause you're already number one E A E That's the way it goes in this day and age E Said you ain't gotta read between the lines B7 And you just don't turn the page A7 Well the most outlaw thing that I've ever done E Give a good woman a ring that's the way it goes B E Life ain't fair and the world is mean A E B7 E E7 ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ E Well I still got the wife and the dog E But I swapped my truck out for a van E Gonna hit the road find the end of that long E White line in the promised land E7 You won't hear my song on the radio A E New sounds all the rage E You can always find me in a smokey bar B7 With bad sound and a dim lit stage E A E That's the way it goes in this day and age E Said you ain't gotta read between the lines B7 And you just don't turn the page A Well the most outlaw thing that I've ever done E Give a good woman a ring that's the way it goes B7 E7 Life ain't fair and the world is mean E7 That's the way it goes B7 E Life ain't fair and the world is mean ■ [End]
