     D             G                  D              G    
Well it's a great life if you don't weaken but who wants to be
    D
  strong
( fiddle )
               G                     D                  G
Well I don't guess I'll ever make a million I just want enough to
         D
     get by
                     G                          E7        
Like a checking the town in two or three banks and a yellow Cadillac
           A
      to drive

           D                           G                         
To go sportin' around with two or three red-heads or maybe take a
                 D
         blonde along
              G                  D               G         D
It's a great life if you don't weaken but who wants to be strong

                G                    D              E7        A
Just give me my money and cold hard pension give my guitar in tune
         D                   G                                  
And get me a date with a pretty little thing and I'll be barkin'
         D
    at the moon


        G                D                       G          D
                                                              
No want more than anybody else just takes more for me to get along
               G                 D              G         D
It's a great life if you don't weaken but who wants to be strong

( steel - fiddle )
               G                                     E7
It's a simple thing in life that really matter and I'm a pretty
                 A
         simple guy
       D                        G            D           G        D
Just give me a house a swimming pool and a little sport plane to fly

           G                 D                 G
It don't take much to satisfy me I'm a country boy tryin' to get
     D
   along
              G                 D              G           D
It's a great life if you don't weaken but who wants to be strong
