Capo 1st Fret (to match recording)

Intro: (E5) (E5) (E5) (E5)

Haggard on a (E) houseboat, tryin' not to sink
Wonderin' if he (A7) oughta float back or just stay here and (E) drink
He found a (B7) guitar 'fore he found that Shasta (A7) shore
And a song was (E) born

Willie on an airplane, brown bag, and a pen
Flyin' high thinking 'bout being on the road again
Tried her out on a crowd down at John T. Floore's
A song was born

  Outta (A) real life, outta real love
  The (A) best ones you can't make up
  It just (C#m) means more when (B) you've been there be(A)fore
  Outta hard times, outta heartbreaks
  Hitch a (B) good rhyme to a mistake
  Then you (C#m) pour those feelings (B) out over three (A) chords
  A song was (E5) born

I've wrote 'em in the Carolina mountains, on a Cabo beach
In a thousand rooms in Nashville, Tennessee
On a Bitterroot River, Montana back porch
A song was born

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(SOLO)

  Outta (NC) real life, outta real love
  The best ones you can't make up
  It just (C#m) means more when (B) you've been there be(A)fore
  Outta hard times, outta heartbreaks
  Hitch a (B) good rhyme to a mistake
  Then you (C#m) pour those feelings (B) out over three (A) chords
  Then you (C#m) pour those feelings (B) out over three (A) chords
  A song was (E5) born
  A song was (E5) born
