[G] When I was a [D] kid Uncle [C] Remus he [D] put me to [C] bed [D]
With a [G] picture of [D] Stonewall [C] Jackson a-[D]bove my [C] bed [D]
Then [Em] Daddy came in to kiss his [D] little man
With [Em] gin on his breath and a [D] Bible in his hand
He [C] talked about honor and [D] things I should know
Then he'd [C] stagger a little as he [D] went out the door
{c: }
I can [G] still hear the soft Southern [D] winds in the [Em] live oak [C] trees [D]
And those [G] Williams [D] boys they [Em] still mean a [D] lot to [C] me
Hank and [D] Tennessee
I [C] guess we're all gonna [D] be what we're gonna [Em] be [D]
So [C] what do you do with [D] good ole boys like [G] me
{c: }
[G] Nothing [D] makes a [C] sound in the [D] night like the [C] wind does, [D]
But [G] you ain't a-[D]fraid if you're [C] washed in the [D] blood like [C] I was. [D]
The [Em] smell of Cape Jasmine through the [D] window screen
John [Em] R. and The Wolfman kept me [D] company
By the [C] light of the radio [D] by my bed,
With [C] Thomas Wolfe whispering [D] in my head.
{c: }
I can [G] still hear the soft Southern [D] winds in the [Em] live oak [C] trees [D]
And those [G] Williams [D] boys they [Em] still mean a [D] lot to [C] me
Hank and [D] Tennessee
I [C] guess we're all gonna [D] be what we're gonna [Em] be [D]
So [C] what do you do with [D] good ole boys like [G] me
{c: }
[G] When I was in [D] school I [C] ran with a [D] kid down the [C] street, [D]
And I [G] watched him [D] burn himself [C] up on [D] bourbon and [C] speed,[D]
But I [Em] was smarter than that, and [D] I could choose.
Learned to [Em] talk like the man on the [D] six o'clock news.
When [C] I was eighteen, lord, [D] I hit the road
But [C] it really doesn't matter how [D] far I'd go
{c: }
I can [G] still hear the soft Southern [D] winds in the [Em] live oak [C] trees [D]
And those [G] Williams [D] boys they [Em] still mean a [D] lot to [C] me
Hank and [D] Tennessee
I [C] guess we're all gonna [D] be what we're gonna [Em] be [D]
So [C] what do you do with [D] good ole boys like [Em] me [D]
So [C] what do you do with [D] good ole boys like [Em] me [D]
Yeah [C] what do you do with [D] good ole boys like [G] me
