Verse:
 
C C/B Am Am/G F C G
I found comfort and courage and bottles of whiskey
C C/B Am D G
I swear to you friend that that life is some risky
C C/B Am Am/G F C
I have backed away quickly from those that would burn me
C C/B Am D G
And stopped up my ears that no one should learn me
 
[Refrão]
F G C
But the lady beside me
F G C
is the one I have chosen
F G
to walk through life
F G C
like a coat from the cold
 
Verse
 
C C/B Am Am/G F C G
I have flown like a bird from every cage that confined me
C C/B Am D G
and broken every one of the ties that bind me
C C/B Am Am/G F C
I have danced me around some sad ol' sad ol situations
C C/B Am D G
and taken my share of those sweet invitations
