Good Ol' Boys Like Me
Don Williams
as played by Matt David Worsham

[Note: chords with a slash mark indicate where bass note
should fall, ex: G/f# is normal G chord but with bass on
low f# instead of G]

When [G]I was a [G/f#]kid Uncle [Em]Remus he [Em7/d]put me to [C]bed [D]
With a [G]picture of [G/f#]Stonewall [Em]Jackson a[Em7/d]bove my [C]head [D]
Then [Em]daddy came in to kiss his [D]little man
With [Em]gin on his breath and a [D]Bible in his hand
He [C]talked about [C/b]honor and [Am]things I should know
Then hed [C]stagger a little as he [D]went out the door

CHORUS:
I can [G]still hear the [G/f#]soft Southern [Em]winds in the [D]live oak [C]trees [D]
And those [G]Williams [G/f#]boys they [Em]still mean a [D]lot to [C]me
...Hank and [D]Tennessee
I [C]guess were all gonna [D]be what were gonna [Em]be [Em7/d] [C]
So [C]what do you do with [D]good ole boys like [G]me

[Note: Last chorus repeats last line, first time ending on Em instead of G
then repeats as normal on second repetition]

Nothing makes a sound in the night like the wind does
But you aint afraid if youre washed in the blood like I was
The smell of cape jasmine thru the window screen
John R. and the Wolfman kept me company
By the light of the radio by my bed
With Thomas Wolfe whispering in my head

When I was in school I ran with kid down the street
But I watched him burn himself up on bourbon and speed
But I was smarter than most and I could choose
Learned to talk like the man on the six oclock news
When I was eighteen, Lord, I hit the road
But it really doesnt matter how far I go
