Capo 3 to sing along with Jesse

Intro: E-A-B7-E

ELife is much too short for some folks 
    A                         EFor other folks it just drags on 

Some folks like the taste of smokey whiskey 
A                        B7 Others figure tea is too strong 

EI'm the type of guy who likes to ride it down the middle 
A                                       EI don't like all this bouncing back and forth 
A                          EMe, I want to live with my feet in Dixie 
       B7                    EAnd my head in the cool blue North 

EIn a small suburban garden 
A                               ENot a single neighbor knows our names 

I know the woman wishes we would move somewhere 
          A                     B7Where the houses aren't all the same 

       EJessy, I wish you would take me 

Where the grass is greener 
  A                                EI really couldn't say where it may be 
A                      ESomewhere up high on a mountain top 
   B7                    EOr down by the deep blue sea 

    A                         E And there we'll do just as we please 
Fm                     B7 It ain't nothing but a breeze 

EOne day I'll be a old gray grandpa 
A                                 EAll the pretty girls will call me Sir 

Now, they're asking me how things are 
 A                              B7Soon they'll ask me how things were 

      EWell, I don't mind being an old gray grandpa 
A                         EIf you'll be my gray grandma 
A                               EBut I'll suggest we go have our milk and cookies 
       B7                   EIn the shade of the old paw-paw 

Instrumental - Verse Chords

A                         EThere we'll do just as we please 
Fm                     B7It ain't nothing but a breeze 

ELife is just too short for some folks 
A                         E Other folks it just drags on 

Some folks like the taste of smokey whiskey

    ENow I'm the type of guy who likes to ride it down the middle 
A                                       E  I don't like all this bouncing back and forth 
A                          EMe, I want to live with my feet in Dixie 
       B7                    EAnd my head in the cool blue North 

     A                         EYea, me I want to live with my feet in Dixie 
       B7                    E And my head in the cool blue North
