Whiskey Myers "Guitar Picker" chords

I wrote this song, actually I wrote this song
pretty good while ago, it's probably the oldest song
that's on the album that I wrote.
When I was young, probably about, I don't know,
like [Ab] 15 or 16, me and my stepdad was riding around.
Went to a buddy's in his house and I just started
kinda [C] playing around on the [B] guitar and singing a little bit.
And he had been in a bunch of bands and stuff
and he told me, he was like, ah, you're pretty good.
He was like, but don't ever, [C]
you know, do this
or follow this life, he said,
because you'll just end up old and broke, you [B] know,
poor and all that good stuff.
So, it's a couple years later, I was sitting around
and I was just like, thinking about how I was actually,
I wasn't old, but I was just a broke guitar player,
singer or whatever, and I was sitting around
and wrote this song, so it's kind of a play off that.
