Heart Like Mine
View chords used in this chart
Capo 1
Intro: (G) (C) x4
(G) (C)
I ain't the kind you take home to Mama
(G) (C)
I ain't the kind to wear no ring
(G) (C)
Somehow I always get stronger
(G) (C)...
When I'm on my second drink...
(G) (C) x2
Even though I hate to admit it
Sometimes I smoke cigarettes
The Christian folk say I should quit it
And I just smile and say, "God bless"
(G) strum
Chorus:
(D)
'Cause I heard Jesus, He drank wine
(C) (G)
And I bet we'd get along just fine
(D)
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
(C) (G)
And I bet He'd understand a heart like mine
(G) (C) x2
Daddy cried when he saw my tattoo
But he said he loved me anyway
My brother got the brains of the family
So I thought I'd learn to sing...
(G) strum...
(Chorus)
Repeat intro...
Bridge:
(Am7) (G)
Well, I'll fly...away
(Am7) (G)
From it all one day
(Am7) (D)
And I'll fly, I'll fly away...(but..)
These are the days that I will remember
When my name's called on the roll
He'll meet me with two long-stemmed glasses
And make a toast to me coming home...
(G) strum...
(Chorus)
