(Intro.)
|(D) / (Bm)(G)|
|(D) / (Bm)(G)|(D) / (Bm)(G)|(D) /|(D)

(Verse 1)
(D) I'm like a magnet to some (Bm)high proof (G)liquor
(D) A song chaser and a (Bm)pipe dream (G)picker
(D) A short fuse that's got a (Bm)hairline (G)trigger
That's (D) put me through some (Bm)hell (G)

(Verse 2)
(D) Some people say I've got a (Bm)cheap thrill ad-(G)diction
(D) And throw stones at my (Bm)free bird (G)livin'
(D) I brush 'em off like the (Bm)habits I ain't (G)kickin' 'cause
(D) I know myself too well

(Chorus)
(D) The day I hang it up (Bm) is the day I'm (G)ridin' out
(D) Flying high above (Bm) what put me (G)in the ground
(D) I got it in my blood, (Bm) too late to (G)change it now
(D) The day I hang it up (Bm) is the day they (G)lay me down

(Instrumental)
|(D) / (Bm)(G)|(D) / (Bm)(G)|

(Verse 3)
(D) I don't mind a little (Bm)smoke on my (G)jacket
(D) Pretty girl with some (Bm)underlying (G)baggage
(D) I'm hard-headed with a (Bm)heart that'll (G)back it, yeah
(D) Just like this cross on my neck (Bm) (G)

(Chorus)
(D) The day I hang it up (Bm) is the day I'm (G)ridin' out
(D) Flying high above (Bm) what put me (G)in the ground
(D) I got it in my blood, (Bm) too late to (G)change it now
(D) The day I hang it up (Bm) is the day they (G)lay me down

(Instrumental)
|(D) / (Bm)(G)|(D) / (Bm)(G)
 
(Bridge)
That's the (D)price I'll pay, and I'll (Em)take it to the bank
Till I (Bm)take it to the grave and it's (G)said and done
Every-(D)thing I believe, these (Em)songs, this dream
That (Bm)rebel in me can't (G)get enough

(Chorus)
(D) The day I hang it up (Bm) is the day I'm (G)ridin' out
(D) Flying high above (Bm) what put me (G)in the ground
(D) I got it in my blood, (Bm) too late to (G)change it now
(D) The day I hang it up (Bm) is the day they (G)lay me down
(D) / (Bm)(G)|(D) / (Bm) And then they'll (G)lay me down

(Outro.)
