All right, Chris Loudon here.
I'm ready to do my second week's pick.
Chris Loudon's badass Aster Egg and Monday Morning Pick.
This week I'm going with Tony Jackson.
[N] Great artist, great friend, love his sound.
Another totally quintessential country artist.
Beautiful voice.
In his album, Tony Jackson, he has a new song on there called They Lived It Up.
It's one of [A#] my new favorites.
Here you go.

[A]
[E] Then along came branded [B] man, sing me back home in [E] mama's tribe.
[A] [E] Ain't never knew his daddy, but he carried on his name and [A] his own voice.
[E] As if the hand of destiny said, son, take this guitar, you have [B] no choice.
[A] It led him to that mountaintop where he nearly [E] lost his life.
But he lived to write a book and songs [B] about how country boys [E] survived.
[A] They lived it up and [E] wrote it down.
They were more than drugstore cowboys.
They'd been bucked and bruised and [B] kicked around.
[A] They took their pain, their voices rang, till the whole world sang that [C#m] country song.
[E] All because they lived it [B] up and lived to [E] write it down.
[A] [E] They didn't understand him when he wore his mohair suit and skinny [A] ties.
[E] So Willie took gold trigger, said you can kiss my Nashville [B] ass goodbye.
[A] On a bloody merry morning, he was on the road again in [E] Texas bound.
Oh, Willie knew how to live it up [B]
so he could [E] write it down.
[A] They lived it up and [E] wrote it down.
They were more than drugstore cowboys.
They'd been bucked and bruised and [B] kicked around.
[A] They took their pain, their voices rang, till the whole world sang that [C#m] country song.
[E] All because they lived it [B] up and lived to [E] write it down.
I think I'll live it up tonight.
[B] I hope I live to [E] write it down.
