Capo 1 

G                             Cadd9              G
I grew up in the country, six kids in a two room shack
G                                             D      Cadd9 G 
Soon as I learned those three chords, I had a guitar on my back
  G                               Cadd9                    G
I wanted to carry a football that dream came and went real soon
G                                           D           Cadd9   G 
Made it through two years of college, thank God I could carry a tune
G        cadd9       D            Cadd9   G 
Nah nah, yeah, thank God, I could carry a tune


Chorus:
           Cadd9            G                  Em           D
I've known love, I've known pain, gotta little rusty in the rain
          Cadd9           G                Em                     D 
I've been lost, I've been found, I left my mark on a little bitty town
      Cadd9                G       Em                      D
Yeah, raised me a few good babies, raised me a whole lotta hell
    Cadd9            G           D            Cadd9    G   
And if I ever get to heaven, I'm gonna have a story to tell, yeah
Cadd9  G              D            Cadd9    G
If I   get there, I'm gonna have a story to tell

Well, I drank a lot of cheap whiskey, shut down too many bars
Low as a dog in the valley and high as the Carolina stars
I've kissed some girls, still miss some girls, most beautiful you've ever seen
I gave my heart to a woman who didn't give a damn about me

Chorus


Bridge:
     Em                     G                  Cadd9                 G  
It's got some parts that'll make you laugh and some that'll make you cry
     Em             G                    Cadd9
Some pages I wish I could tear out But I ain't gonna tell no lie cause it's the story of my life 
    G                                   Cadd9                G
Now I can't preach or give no advice, I didn't do everything well 
    G                                     D             Cadd9    G 
But man, just live while you're alive and try to have a story to tell

Chorus

I've known love, I've known pain Gotta little rusty in the rain
I've been lost, I've been found, I left my mark on a little bitty town
Yeah, raised me a few good babies, I raised me a whole lotta hell
And if I get to heaven, I'm gonna have some story to tell, yeah
If I get there, I'll have a real good story to tell

Nah nah, yeah, I've a real good story to tell
