Nobody Gonna Tell Me What To Do Chords by Van Zant

_ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ [C] _ _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Em] Should have seen the look on the face of the boss of the [C] second shift _
[Em] When I [C] threw my hard hat [Em] at him and suggested the box
He could [G] stick it.
I
Walked down the stairs and [C] told him I was leaving
Bethlehem
[Em] Like I'd seen the [D] Savior had tears in my [C] eyes
Holdin my hands up and shoutin [G] amen
Cause there ain't [D] nobody gonna tell me [C] what to do
I [G] spent most of my [D] life wrapped up [C] tight
Somebody else's hand me [G] down those shoes
[D] Starting today I'm [Em] someone I'd be proud to know
[Am] _ [G] You might tell me [C] where to go _
[G] There ain't [D] nobody gonna tell me [G] what to do
_ [D] _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Em] We buried daddy just last week at the church to save the soul
Many dreamed of pilots we spent his whole life [G] digging coal
_ I got a guitar
[C] I've been too scared to fly
[Em] But that's another life [D] stuff I'm packing on [C] my truck
They can just [G] kiss my butt goodbye
Cause there ain't [D] nobody gonna tell me [C] what to do
_ I [G] spent most of my [D] life wrapped up [C] tight
Somebody else's hand me [G] down those shoes
