American Kids

  G
There's a blue rocking chair,
  C
sittin in the sand,
  G
weathered by the storms,
  D
and the well oiled hands,
  G
It sways back and forth,
  C
with the help of the wind,
  Am
and it seems to always be there,
  D  
like an old trusted friend
 
(Chorus)

  C
I've read alot of books
  D
wrote a few songs
  G
looked at my life, where it's going
  G
where it's gone,
  C
I've seen the world, through a bus winshield,
  D
But nothing compares
  C                        D
To the way that I see it, to the way that I see it,
  C                              D
To the way that I see it when I sit,
 (stop)                 G  C  D  G
In that old blue chair

Verse 2

  G
From that chair I've caught,
  C
a few fish and some rays,
  G
and I've watched boats sail,
                        D
In and out of cinnamon bays,
  G
I've let go of a lover,
  C
who took a piece of my heart,
  Am
and prayed many times for forgiveness,
  D
and a brand new start

(Repeat Chorus)

  C
That chair was by bed one New Year's night,
  G
When I passed out from too much Cruzan and diet,
  C                                          D
and I woke up to a hunderd mosquito bites I swear
  C                        D
got 'em all sittin right there, 
(stop)              G C D  G
In that old blue chair

 G
There's a blue rocking chair
 C
Sittin in the sand
 D                        C
weathered by the storms and
 (stop)           G C D  G
well oiled hands

Verse 1:
A
Plowing these fields in the hot summer sun

Over by the gate Lordy, here she comes
         D                                                 A
With a basket full of chicken and a big cold jug of sweet tea

I make a little room and she climbs on up

Open up the throttle and stir a little dust
      D                                  E
Just look at her face, she ain't foolin' me

She's even kinda crazy 'bout my farmers tan
D               A        E           A          D
She's the only one who really understands what gets me
                        A
She thinks my tractors sexy



Verse 2:
We go back and forth till we run out of light
Take it to the barn, put it up for the night
Climb up in the hay loft, sit and talk with the radio on
She says she's got a dream and I ask what it is
She wants a little farm and a yard full of kids
And one more teeny, weenie ride before I take her home


CHORUS


          E
Well she ain't into cars or pick-up trucks
                                     
But if it runs like a Deere man her eyes light up
            
She thinks my tractors


CHORUS

E                       A

D                  A                                          
Wake up and you're twenty-five and 
     G                                   D
your high school sweetheart becomes your wife

D
Don't blink
A                   G                    A 
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
D            A                  G                    A
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"
    Em                  D
Of fifty years is there in bed
    G                        D
And you're praying God takes you instead
Em                                          A
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
         D             A       G      A
So don't blink

Verse 2
D               A                 G                 A  
I was glued to my tv when it looked like he looked at me and said
D            A                    G          A                  
"Best start putting first things first."
D                     A
Cause when your hourglass runs out of sand
         G                  A
You can't flip it over and start again
D                       A                      G 
Take every breathe God gives you for what it's worth

Don't really know what day it is

Been rocking nine days in a row
Cadd9
All I know is it's hurricane season

And any minute she's gonna blow

I need a shave and I need some rest

I know some people are worried about me
          G       GMaj7         G6          G
But I'm french kissing life square in the mouth

Sailing out on the sea

Went through customs and immigration

Still this feels like home
Cadd9
I'm floating 'round through Gorda Sound

With a cooler and a bong
D                         C
Maybe I could've been a pirate
                D                      C
Maybe in my next life that's what I'll be
 G               GMaj7   G6       G
French kissing life square in the mouth
C           D        G
Sailing out on the sea

Tonight I don't need to feel famous

Out here all I feel is free

French Kissing Life

G           D       A           D
Tired of my beeper, tired of my phone
G             D         A         D
Tired of this tired old tie I got on
G            D       A            D
Sick of this traffic jam that I'm in,
   G           D       A           D
We all get sick of it all now and then.
          G                           A
When I've had it up to here I go down there.

   G        D                A           D
To guitars, tiki bars, and a whole lotta love,

Mangos and Marley you know, fit me like a glove.
                G                     A         D
Sixth gear with nowhere to steer when enough is enough,
G             Em               G     A     D    
It's guitars, tiki bars, and a whole lotta love.

G D A D G D A D (x 2)

  G           D           A          D
I feel like a fish jerked out of the sea,
     G         D           A            D
Or a bird in a cage that's never seen a key,
G            D           A            D
Sick of this grind and I think that I ought
   G          D          A        D
To bring this grind to a grinding hault.
         G                               A
Now I've had it up to here let's go down there.

To guitars, tiki bars, and a whole lotta love,

Mangos and Marley you know, fit me like a glove.

Just Dont Happen Twice solo

G                           D 
Well me and my lady had our first big fight, 
C                                G 
So I drove around till I saw the neon lights,  
C                        G                        C G C 
At a corner bar, and it just seemed right, so I pulled up, 
G                              D 
Not a soul around but the ol' barkeep, 
C                       G 
Down at the end lookin half asleep, 
C                          G                          C G C 
But he walked up and said what'll it be? I said the Good Stuff, 
C                               D       C                    D 
He didn't reach around for the whiskey, He didn't pour me a beer,  
C                        D 
His blue eyes kinda went misty,  
C 
Said you can't find that here, 
 
      G                              D 
Cause it's the first long kiss on a second date 
C                            G 
Mamma's all worried when you get home late 
     C                        G 
And droppin the ring in the spaghetti plate,  
C           G                    C     D 
Cause your hands are shaking so much 
   G                         D 
It's the way she looks with rice in her hair 
C                        G 
Eatin burnt suppers the whole first year 
C                          G                 C G C 
And askin for seconds, to keep her from tearin up, 
     D               G  D C G C 
Yeah man that's the Good Stuff 
 
G                                D 
He grabbed a carton of milk and poured a glass 
C                       G 
I smiled and said I'll have some of that 
C                              G                    C G C 
We sat there and talked as an hour passed like ol' friends 
G                                     D 
Saw a black and white picture and it caught my stare 
C                               G     
Was a pretty girl with bouffant hair 
        C                  G                         C G C 
He said that's my Bonnie, takin bout a year after we wed 
        C                        D               C                   D 
He said spent five years in the bottle when the cancer took her from me 
     C                          D 
I've been sober for three years now,  
     C              G                 C     D 
Cause the one thing stronger than the whiskey was the 
 
     G                    D 
The sight of her holdn my baby girl 
     C                   G              
The way she adored that string of pearls  
   C                         G 
I gave her the day that our youngest boy Earl  
C                 G        C    D 
Married his high school love 
G                             D 
And it's a new T-shirt sayin I'm a Grand Pa 
C                                 G 
Being right there as our time got small 
    C                           G                C G C 
And holding her hand, when the good lord called her up 
     D               G D C G C 
Yeah man that's the Good Stuff 
 
G D C G C 
 
        D                         G 
He said when you get home she'll start to cry 
      D                      G 
When she says I'm sorry, say so am I 
     G    D           C      D       C 
And look into those eyes so deep in love  
     D 
And drink it up 
       G               D   C G C 
Cause that's the Good Stuff 
 G          D       C G C 
That's the Good Stuff

Thats The Good Stuff

Sunny days seem to hurt the most

I wear the pain like a heavy coat

I feel you everywhere I go
D
I see your smile, I see your face
D
I hear you laughin' in the rain

Still can't believe you're gone.

It ain't fair you died too young

Like a story that had just begun

Would you see the world, would you chase your dreams

Settle down with a family

I wonder what would you name
your 
G
babies
D
Somedays the sky's so blue
D
I feel like I can talk to you
D                          G
And I know it might sound crazy.



G
It ain't fair you died too young

Just knowin' no one could take your

Sometimes I wonder
A             D
Who you'd be today.


G      B      G        D
Today, today, today

Today, today, today.

Sunny days seem to hurt the most

I wear the pain like a heavy coat

The only thing that gives me hope        
A                             D 
Is I know I'll see you again someday
G               G             D

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me

And then they are bored of me

I know that its exciting
                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am

Fm                                            D
 a  heart and two flowers intertwined with a vine

Somehow we end up on the same side

We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A

Hold On You

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
