[C] Well, I worked for [G] the city [C] in the town where I [G] grew up
[C] Some days I [G] run a back home
Some days I run it done
[C] if I had [G] other plans on [C] my
graduation [G] day
Then [C] several [G] years ago, I guess [Em] I hauled them all [C] away
Yeah, I hauled them [G] all away
[C] She told me [G] she was pregnant on the day I turned 18
[C] Not did [G] what you're supposed to [Em] do I bought her [C] ring
He didn't have [G] to ask us, but [C] he asked us [G] anyway
[C] We stood [G] up said I do [Em] what else were we gonna [C] say?
What else were we [G] gonna say?
Well, I'm [D] thankful for the things I have and [A] all the things [C] I don't
[G]
[D] I've got dreams that will come true
[A] And I got some [C] that [G] won't
[D] Most the time I just walk the line
[A] Wherever [C] it [G] goes
Cuz you [A] can't hang yourself
[C] If you ain't got enough rope
[G]
[C] My boss man [G] is mayor.
[C] I
Do just what [G] he asked
[C] I'm old [G] courthouse long whites [Em] prisoners walking [C] past
I'm happy to [G] be working
[C] instead of [G] wearing chains
[C] Like my [G] cousin Willie
[Em] He's locked up in [C] the green
He's locked up [G] in the green
But [D] I'm thankful for the things I have and all the things I [C] don't
[G]
[D] Not got dreams that will come true.
[A] I got [C] some that won't
[G]
[D] Most time I just walk the [A] line
wherever [G] it goes
Cuz you can't [A] hang yourself
[C] If you [G] ain't got enough rope
[D]
[C] [G]
Well, there's [C] a tavern [G] down the highway.
[C] I go to drink [G] some beers
[C] And wash down all [G] I'm missing [Em] my
Hanging [C] around here
Then I drive back to the [G] trailer
[C] I'll make up with [G] my wife.

Kiss my [G] sleeping children
[Em] Then I get on with my [C] life yeah get on with my life

Let's start jamming Chris Knight - Enough Rope chords, practice the chord sequence Em, C, G and C. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 68 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 136. Adapt the capo setting considering your vocal range, with reference to the key: C Minor.
