[Intro]

[Verse]
F C7 F                                         
■ ■  ■ I'm a lone country mile from bein' style
F                        
Dirty hat an cowboy boots
  F                                    
I cut my teeth on them old outlaw songs
                        F7
My daddy used to listen to
                 Bb7  
Guess it's in my genes
C7         F  F7 F
■  I gotta be me ■
       F               
Yeah I say what I think
    F                
But sometimes I drink
                          F7   F
And when I do I drink too much ■
F7                
Wind up on my back
F7               
Eye shinin' black
           F        F7                      Bb7
And I know it's all because bad as it might be 
C7             F     F7
■  Hey I gotta be me ■ 


[Chorus]
        Bb                   
You can wine me up an dine me
                                      F7                      F      
You can polish up an shine me but the real things gonna shine through
         G7                                
It ain't always pretty but the cowboy in me
C7                              F
Couldn't change if he wanted to ■


[Verse]
                  F                 
Yeah I had a girl her name was Pearl
                    F7      
I think she's up in Arkansaw
F                                        
She raised her voice and gave me a choice
F7                                Bb7
'tween singin' in a Honkeytonk or JOB
         C7             F 
As u can see I gotta be me


[Chorus]
             F7            Bb     
Yeah you can wine me up an dine me
                                      F7                      F      
You can polish up an shine me but the real things gonna shine through
                G7                         
It ain't always pretty but the cowboy in me
C7                           Bb
Couldn't change if he wanted to
