CHORDS:
play the rests by muting
the strings directly at the
end of the note preceding the rest. you might want to
cut the preceding note a little bit short)
(these probably don't have to be played exactly correct, or as they're written, so as
long as you follow the changes it'll probably be fine)

We’ve all seen the man at the liquor store beggin’ for your change

God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
Fmaj7 C Dm
‘Cause then you really might know what it’s like to sing the blues

Dm Fmaj7 C
I’ve seen a rich man beg I’ve seen a good man sin I’ve seen a tough man cry
Dm Fmaj7 C
I’ve seen a loser win and a sad man grin I heard an honest man lie
Dm Fmaj7 C
I seen the good side of bad and the down side of up and everything between
Dm Fmaj7 C
I licked the silver spoon drank from the golden cup and smoked the finest green
Dm Fmaj7 C
I stroked the baddest dimes at least a couple times before I broke they heart
Dm Fmaj7 C
You know where it ends Yo it usually depends on where you start

3rd Verse:
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
I knew this kid named Max who used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
Fmaj7 C Dm
He liked to hang out late he liked to get shit faced and keep the pace with thugs
Fmaj7 C Dm
'Till late one night there was a big gunfight and max lost his head
Fmaj7 C Dm
He pulled out his chrome forty-five talked some shit and wound up dead
Fmaj7 C Dm
And now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of his pain
Fmaj7 C Dm
You know it crumbles that way at least that’s what they say when you play the game
Fmaj7 C Dm
God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
Fmaj7 C Dm
‘Cause then you really might know what it’s like to have to lose

Throughout each verse and chorus the Dm at the end of each line (between lyrics) can be
played either of these ways (not sure which is right, but I like the second one better)-
