Chords for "Good Ole Boys Like Me" Ray Scott Roots Sessions Vol 3/6

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
You know, Don Williams is and has always been one of my favorite singers in country music.
Thirty-five [Eb] years ago, this song peaked at number two on Billboard, but it's definitely
number one as far as I'm concerned.
Bob McDill wrote this great song.
This is Good Old Boys Like Me.
