[Intro]
F  Gm  Bb  F  x2

[Verse 1]
        FWell, I never been to the Great Divide
    GmBut my journey started when I was just five
 Bb                            FI don't know why, I don't know why
             FSomehow I've been to places I've never been
     GmAnd I lived through things I don't understand
      Bb                              FAnd I know things I'm not supposed to know
        GmBut I'm fine with it
           BbI just get on with it
              F'Cause I can't change it

[Verse 2]
         FThey say keep in the flow and you'll never grow old
    GmBut I've got a story that's yet been told
       Bb                          FSo I'm telling it while I'm living it
              FSee, it's the boys from the past that blazed my path
GmWaylon and Willie, Jerry Jeff and the rest
          Bb                                FIt's their blood and sweat that turned this dirt red
        GmBut I'm fine with it
           BbI just get on with it
              F'Cause I can't change it

                                    F                DmThe voices of a thousand souls fell gently around my shoulders
       FLike a long lost friend
        GmI said "Hello boys, I'm glad you're here
            BbBut there's work to be done
                FGrab yourself a chair"

[Verse 3]

GmFifty Dollar Blue and Stoney, you too

          GmBut we're fine with it
