Em7add11 (no 5) = 302030 or 30203x





Intro - G- D - Cadd9


(verse 1)
Em7            Em11(no 5)         Em7add11(no 5)         Cadd9
Shoulda seen the look on the face of the boss of the second shift,
Em7           Em11(no 5)       Em7add11(no 5)   Cadd9
When I threw my hard hat at him, An' suggested the box  where he could stick it.
G                                      C
I walked downstairs an told 'em I was leavin' Bethlehem,
          Em7                 D/F#                    
Like I'd seen the Saviour, had tears in my eyes,
Cadd9   
Holdin' my hands up an' shoutin', "Amen!"


(chorus)
             G                 D/F#            C
'Cause there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do.
         G              D/F#              
I spent most of my life a-wrapped up tight,
      C            Bb      Am       G
In somebody else's hand-me-down old shoes.
          D/F#              Em             Cadd9
Startin' today, I'm someone I'd be proud to know,
Am        G/B              C
You might tell me where to go,
           G                  D               G - D - Cadd9
But there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do.



(verse 2)
We buried Daddy just like week at the church that saved his soul.
Man, he dreamed of pilot's wings,spent his whole life diggin' coal.
I got a guitar under my bed but I've been too scared to fly.
That's enough of that stuff, I'm packin' up my truck,
They can just kiss my butt goodbye.




(chorus)
             G                 D/F#            C
'Cause there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do.
         G              D/F#              
I spent most of my life a-wrapped up tight,
      C            Bb      Am       G
In somebody else's hand-me-down old shoes.
          D/F#              Em             Cadd9
Startin' today, I'm someone I'd be proud to know:
Am        G/B              C
You might tell me where to go,
             G                D            Em
But there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do.

(chorus)
             G                 D/F#            C
'Cause there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do.
         G              D/F#              
I spent most of my life a-wrapped up tight,
      C            Bb      Am       G
In somebody else's hand-me-down old shoes.
          D/F#              Em             Cadd9
Startin' today, I'm someone I'd be proud to know:

G                                     Cadd9
