Verse 1:

D                   C                G               D
Well I'm not one to whine or cry, or wallow  in self-pity

D              C                     G            D
I take life in stride, and smell the roses when I can

D                     C                G             D
and I am one of those lucky guys who's happy just to be here

D           C         G               D 
Doin what I love, and thankful that I am


Chorus:

     Bm                              G
With all of life's temptation's this dream that I've been chasin,

       D             A                   Bm
it's a wonder I aint long since dead and gone

     G                         D                Bm
I've cheated undertakers, I've dang near met my maker,

            E7   G              A          D
I'm  tell y'all,   I'm lucky to be here at all



Verse 2:

D                C               G                 D      
My heart hit the cigarettes, and straight Kentucky Bourbon

D            C                    G             D
Takin' their toll, and doin their best to do me in

D           C               G               D
Guitars and beer joint bars up and down the highway

D                    C         G         D
If I could start all over, I'd do it all again


Chorus:

     Bm                              G
With all of life's temptation's this dream that I've been chasin,

       D             A                   Bm
it's a wonder I aint long since dead and gone

     G                         D                Bm
I've cheated undertakers, I've dang near met my maker,

            E7   G              A          D
I'm  tell y'all,   I'm lucky to be here at all



Bridge:

F#m                           G
And when I die I'll thank the good Lord face to face

F                    A
For his patience and grace



Chorus:

     Bm                              G
With all of life's temptation's this dream that I've been chasin,

       D             A                   Bm
it's a wonder I aint long since dead and gone

     G                         D                Bm
I've cheated undertakers, I've dang near met my maker,

            E7   G              A          D
I'm  tell y'all,   I'm lucky to be here at all
