Chords for How to Play - Country Boy Aaron Lewis - Guitar Lesson-Tutorial

All right, here we go
[G] country boy by Aaron Lewis _
In this song Aaron Lewis tunes all of the strings down a half a step, but for the sake of simplicity
We'll just leave it in standard tuning
Only dropping the top top string and the bottom string to D.
So you get a sound that's something like this
[D] _
_ _ And they will be tuned to the D string
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ Now I grew up down an old dirt road in a town you [G] wouldn't know
My [A] pops picked a place [G] up for fifteen hundred bucks back in
[D] 1964
_ _ My grandfather was a drinker back [G] in the day he put them down
But a war is known to change a man and the whiskey is [D] known to change a man
_ [G] _ _ [G] _ That's [A] not me [D] _ I [A] rarely drink from the bottle [G] but I smoke a little
_ _ [D] _ Still [A]
live in [G] the sticks where you wouldn't go [A] in a town of twelve [D] hundred off an old dirt [A] road
Country [G] boy is all I'll [A] ever be
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _
It's been 12 years since I sold my [A] soul to the devil in LA
Said sign your name here on the dotted line and your songs they [D] all will play
He set up shop on Sunset.
[A] He put me up [G] in the marquee _
[A] Said you wanna sell [G] a million records boy.
You better listen [D] to me
[A] Say change your [G] style widen your [A] smile.
You could lose [D] a couple pounds
[A] If you wanna live this [G] life better lose that [A] wife you need your [D] friends around
And [A] I said
_ [G] _ No, that's [A] not me
_ [D] _
_ [A] Cuz the biggest things in life [G] are your friends and family
[A] _ _ [D] _ _ [A] And
I like my [G] jeans and the old t-shirt [A] and a couple extra pounds [D] never really hurt [A]
and the country [G] boy
Is all I'll ever [A] _ _
be
[F] Does Hank don't need [G] just how to [D] stay alive
_ _ _ _ [F] Never catch me at the [D] house without my 9 or 45
I
_ [F] Got a big old [D] tractor and a diesel truck and my idea headless chasing white
Tailbugs [F] and a country boy.
[D] I know I can [A] survive
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Now to flag fly above my land [A] really some of [G] our field
On is the color flying high and proud [A] the red [D] white the blue _
The other ones got a rattlesnake [A] with the simple [G] statement made
Don't tread on [G] me is what it says [A] and I'll take it [D] to my grave [A] because
_ [G] _ _
This [A] is me
[D] _ _ [A] I'm a
American [G] and a strong and [A] my believe
_ _ [D] _
_ And I said it before [G] but I'll say it again
[A] Cuz I never needed government [D] to hold my [A] hand and I said it before [G] and I'll say it again
[A] Cuz my family's always fighting back to save this land
Country boy [G] is all I'll ever [A] be
