 Capo 2
 
 Depending on where you sing, you can either capo 2 and
 play as written here, or you can transcribe up 2 half
 steps and play without the capo.  For example, the
 verse would then be played:
 E C#m A B
 
        D
 Never owned a brand new car, 
 never worked in a white collar
        Bm
 Never held a woman longer 
 than I held one single dollar
        G
 Never went out chasing rainbows 
 cause there can't be that much too it
         A
 And even if I found my pot of gold 
 I'd probably piss right through it
 
       D
 Can't remember ever wanting 
 for one second of my life
       Bm
 Even if I did, it cost too much 
 to ever pay the price
       G
 I don't dance out on the dark side,
 ain't no secrets I can tell
        A                                
 So you don't have to say a prayer for me, 
                      D
 I just said one for myself
 
 Chorus:
               G A         D
 I'm living my life under my terms
                 G          A           Bm
 I'm calling the shots, as far as I can see
         G          A                Bm          G
 I don't owe nobody nothing, I don't answer to a soul
                        A         D
 Might not work for you...but it works for me
 
          D
 I've been bent and bruised and broken 
 and flat busted once or twice
          Bm
 I brought most of it upon myself 
 but I never compromised
      G
 My pride's too hard to swallow 
 so I've chewed a lot of it
      A
 Mild mannered and soft hearted, 
 hard headed as you get
 
    D
 I live out on the back porch 
 where I walk my country mile
            Bm
 And if it's so good in the city 
 why don't anybody smile
         G
 All the traffics always heavy 
 and the air ain't fit to breathe
         A
 I'm not saying it's wrong for you, 
                             D
 it just don't make sense to me
