Charlie Daniels Was it 26 D G Livin' hard was easy, when I was young and bulletproof C G D I had no chains to bind me, just a guitar and a roof G Empited every bottle, when I poured I never missed C G D I had bloodshot eyes at 25, or was it 26? G It didn't seem to matter, what price I had to pay C G D 'Cause anything worth having I'd just lose it anyway G Friends worried about me they asked if I was sick C G D Thought I would die at 25 or was it 26? G D Those two years run together like whiskey over ice C G D Melting in my memories like somebody else's life G D C I'm glad to say I've come around but if I could have one wish G C D I'd like another try at 25 or was it 26? D G I met a girl from Georiga smart pretty college grad C G D I thought my luck was changing up till then it'd all been bad G Guess I fell in love with her all it took was one kiss C G D But she said goodbye at 25 or was it 26? REPEAT CHORUS: D G Yeah, I"ve been down the road before almost as far as hell C G D Deception or redemption I guess only time will tell G I have in the knowledge that God gave us a gift C G D I couldn't hide at 25 or was it 26? G D Those two years run together like whiskey over ice C G D Melting in my memories like somebody else's life G D C I'm glad to say I've come around but if I could have one wish G C D I'd like another try at 25 or was it 26? G C D I'd like another try at 25 or was it 26?
