Capo 3

The intro pattern is a G,C,G,D...with hammer-on's/pull-off's on the D string 
at the conclusion of playing the C, then again on the D string at the 
conclusion of playing the D (listen to the song...it is very clear)

*note: this same intro pattern, with the hammer-on/pull-off on the C's and 
D's, is also played in the chorus*


Verse 1:

G

I get up in the morning

C

I drink a cup of coffee

G

I look out of the window

D

I try to get it started

G

I turn it all over

C

Plow it all under

G

I plant 'em in the springtime

D

Pick 'em in the summer

Chorus:
(remember the intro pattern...same applies here)

G            C           

I live in my own mind

G                  D

Ain't nothin but a good time

G            C

No rain just sunshine

G              D
Out here in my own mind

Verse 2: (same pattern as verse 1)

Randy and Danny Ray
They'll show back-up any day
That's one thing you can count on
But sometime's they'll be long gone

I'd rather be hunting
Hooked on fishing
I read it on their t-shirt
And if you don't believe it

Chorus

Steel Solo/Instrumental...play chorus progression

Verse 3:

Hardwood floor creakin
Bedroom door squekin
She's standing in the kitchen
I thought she was still sleapin

Kiss her on the forehead
Asked her how she slept
She says, "honey it's so early,
We probably shouldn't speak yet"

Chorus

Piano/Steel Again

Chorus
