Capo:5th fret

INTRO
G    A
 
D    G
D    G
 
VERSE
    D
Outside there's a rusty pickup
 G
Underneath a shed
 A
Mockingbird's nest in the tailpipe
       G                  A
Empty feed sack in the bed
 
 D
They took away my keys
        G
Sayin' I'm too old to drive
      A
It's like they're tryin' to bury me
       G
While I'm still alive
 
 
CHORUS
A                  D
I always wanted a son
                   G
I always wanted a woodshed
                    A
I always wanted to ride on an open range
                                  D
And learn how to fly a plane, but I, I guess
 
A                 D
Even pictures we never take
                            G
Memories we'll never make still fade
 
                   A
I never did all I wanted to do
                      D    G
But I always wanted to
 
 
VERSE
 D
They talk like I can't hear 'em
      G
When they have to change my sheets
  A
They're getting tired and angry
       G                    A
'Cause I won't accept defeat
 
       D
Uncle Frank lived to be a hundred
 G
Hell, I'm only ninety five
A
I ain't raising no white flag
       G
While I'm still alive
 
 
CHORUS
A                  D
I always wanted a son
                   G
I always wanted a woodshed
                    A
I always wanted to ride on an open range
                                  D
And learn how to fly a plane, but I, I guess
 
A                 D
Even pictures we never take
                            G
Memories we'll never make still fade
 
                   A
I never did all I wanted to do
              D       D  G   A   A
But I always wanted to
 
 
VERSE
      D
My Marie showed up this morning
  G
Floatin' right above that chair
         A
And she smiled the sweetest smile at me
        Em               A
As she hovered in the air
 
           D
When that fever stole her from me
              G
I was twenty seven, she was just twenty five
         A
I never dreamed I'd see my angel again
       G
While I'm still alive
 
 
CHORUS
A                  D
I always wanted a son
                   G
I always wanted a woodshed
                    A
I always wanted to ride on an open range
                                  D
And learn how to fly a plane, but I, I guess
 
A                 D
Even pictures we never take
                            G
Memories we'll never make still fade
 
                   A
I never did all I wanted to do
              D       D  G
But I always wanted to
 
                   A
I never did all I wanted to do
 
                      D   G   D   G   D
But I always wanted to
