[Intro]

[Verse]
C                                        
■ I wish I was a slave to an ageold trade
                                           F    C   
Like ridin' around on railcars and workin' long days
F                       C                   
■ Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways
F                     C                    C
Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways ■

[Verse]
            F         C                          
Call it one drink too many call it pride of a man
       F             C          Am                C    
And it don't make no difference if you sit or you stand
            F                             C          
'cause they both end in trouble and start with a grin
          F           C                            
Yeah they both end in trouble and start with a grin
   F              C                  
We do it over and over and over again


[Chorus]
   F          C            Am   C    
We do it over and over and over again

       F                  Am         
I know there's California ■  Oklahoma
C                       G                     
And all of the places I ain't ever been to but
F                       Am            
Down in the valley with whiskey rivers
C                             G             
These are the places you will find me hidin'
F                        Am            
■ These are the places I will always go
F                      C             
These are the places I will always go
  Fmaj7       
I am on my way
     Am          
I am ■  on my way
  F                 C                 
I am on my way back to where I started

One more for the stars and their eyes in the walls
                                    G        F   Am
I hail your face and then I saw you standing out ■ 
C                                      F        Am
■ I saw your face in the crowd and you came out ■ 
C                                        F      
■ You saw me crossing the valley and you came in
            Am                            C    
Look at the sign on the door and it reads to me
              C                                    
Just like the grass and the sign when you walked in
     F       
Ohoh ohohohoh

Ohoh ohohohoh
              Am

So I wish I was a slave to an ageold trade ■

Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways
