Proud Souls by Jason Boland
Tabbed by Jaclyn
Standard tuning - Capo II
G D
Well I Got drunk by myself last night
Em C
They say its no way to make things right
G C D
I just didn't have anything better to do.
G D
The dog was asleep on the living room rug and
Em C
I watched a show about crime and drugs
G D G
Finished a bottle of Jaeger until it was through
G D
And I don't care that I can't sleep
Em C
Hell, I'd just as soon stay up all week
G C D
I might get some things done while others dream.
G D
The heater broke and the room got cold
Em C
Any my knees and ankles say I'm gettin' older
G D G
The phone finally rang but it wasn't for me.
Chorus:
Bm C
If Everyone was together
G C
I guess no one would be alone
G C D
Life's a lot of trade offs in the end.
Bm C
Somewhere in the fields of heaven
G C
The proud souls laugh and they love together
G D G
Somewhere between passion and losin friends.
G D
Sleep finally came but I woke up alone
Em C
And my head was laying next to the telephone,
G C D
I gave the sun a cussin' as I drew the shades.
G D
One thing that seems always true
Em C
That's when I'm hung-over well the sky is blue,
G D G
A rough night for me will make a hell of a day.
G D
And I believe in ghost and democracy
Em C
And that each man should leave us his legacy
G C D
Be that mans' work great or be it small.
G D
But, I don't believe in everything like
Em C
The designated hitter or that diamond ring
G D G
We'll make love last forever for one and all
Bm C
If Everyone was together
G C
Why are so many left alone
G C D
Life's a lot of trade offs in the end.
Bm C
Somewhere in the fields of heaven
G C
The proud souls laugh and they love together
G D G
Somewhere between passion and losin friends.
G D G
Somewhere between passion and losin friends.
