Good Ole Boys

[Verso 1]
 
C                                              Am         G     C 
Sometimes a good old boy can have a heart that feels like heavy stone 
C                                      Am      G    C 
Doesn't open up, he finds himself just sitting all alone 
Am                                               C      F 
It's hard to hold the goodness in the darkness that he sees 
F                  G                C          F 
Oh Lord, won't you come and set him free? 
 


[Verso 2]
 
C                                         Am         G     C 
A calloused heart can't help it when it's held in an angry fist 
C                                                Am         G     C 
All the screaming down the hallways, you'll just keep your feelings in 
Am                                               C          F 
It starts a fire that burns and burns, no wonder he's this way 
F                      G                       C 
Like father, like son, there's curses he can't break 
 


[Refrão]
 
F                            C 
Oh, the Holy Ghost, He walks gravel roads 
F                               G 
All the highs and lows where nobody else will go 
F 
The hollers in the backwoods sure run deep 
Am                         C 
But He don't quit, that's where He'll be 
F                                        G 
Finding us crying them tears nobody else sees 
                            C         F 
He loves good old boys like me 
 


[Verso 3]
 
C                               Am          G     C 
The good love of a woman, you'd think that'd be enough 
C                                               Am       G     C 
But she can't get through the barbed wire or the whiskey in his cup 
Am                                    C         F 
It's gonna take a miracle, some say he can't be saved 
F                           G                     C 
But the Lord sure hears the prayers that woman prays

F                            C 
Oh, the Holy Ghost, He walks gravel roads 
Am                              G 
All the highs and lows where nobody else will go 
F 
The hollers in the backwoods sure run deep 
Am                        C 
But He don't quit, that's where He'll be 
F                                        G 
Finding us crying them tears nobody else sees 
                            Am 
He loves good old boys like me 
D                            F 
Oh, loves good old boys like me 
C              C/B             Am 
Oh, loves good old boys like me 
D                            Dm 
Oh, loves good old boys like me 
G 
Yeah 
 


[Verso 4]
 
C                                  Am      G        C 
Some people call it testimony, but he just calls it life 
C                                     Am         G         C 
He's had all of the chances that some folks just don't get twice 
Am                                              C         F 
He's finally found a little peace, don't feel the need to run 
F                       G                Am 
All we can say is look what the Lord has done 
F                            G                 C 
Yeah, all we can say is look what the Lord has done 
 


[Refrão]
 
F                               C 
'Cause the Holy Ghost, He walks gravel roads 
Am                            G 
All the highs and lows where nobody else will go 
F 
The hollers in the backwoods sure run deep 
Am                        C 
But He don't quit, that's where He'll be 
F                                        G 
Finding us crying them tears nobody else sees 
                    F                                       G 
And I know what I'm talking about and I sure know what I've seen 
                                    C        F        C 
Oh, He loves the good old boys like me 
F                  C         F         C 
Good old boys like me
