Verse:

         C  C/B      Am   Am/G   F          C       G  
I found comfort and courage and bottles of whiskey 
  C     C/B    Am               D            G  
I swear to you friend that that life is some risky 
       C      C/B  Am    Am/G   F                C    
I have backed away quickly from those that would burn me 
    C       C/B   Am        D             G   
And stopped up my ears that no one should learn me 


        F G    C 
But the lady beside me  
       F   G      C 
is the one I have chosen  
   F            G 
to walk through life  
       F    G        C 
like a coat from the cold  


Verse 

        C    C/B    Am   Am/G   F              C       G  
I have flown like a bird from every cage that confined me  
  C     C/B      Am           D        G  
and broken every one of the ties that bind me  
       C      C/B  Am    Am/G   F                C    
I have danced me around some sad ol' sad ol situations  
    C   C/B   Am        D             G   
and taken my share of those sweet invitations
