Capo on the first fret
A E
Just the good ol' boys
A
Never meaning no harm
E B7
Beats all you ever saw, been in trouble with the law
E
Since the day they was born
E A
Straightening the curves, flattening the hills
E B7
Someday the mountain might get 'em
E
But the law never will
Chorus...
B7
Making their way, any way they know how
E
That's just a little bit more than the law will allow
A E
I'm a good ol' boy
A
You know my mama loved me
E B7
But she don't understand they keep a showin' my hands
E
And not my face on T.V.
Verse from the movie...
A E
Just the good ol' boys
A
Wouldn't change if they could
E B7 E
Fightin' the system like a true modern day robin hood
