I May Smoke Too Much

C                                              G
Once my future was as shiny as the seat of my pants are today
                                                         C
Then old mother luck & all her daughters started duckin' me
                                                            G
When I finally got tired of just sittin' there watchin' my life slip away
                                                                C
I said I better start takin' all the livin' that's a commin' to me


             C              F
     Now I love too much, fight too much
        C               F
        Stay out late at night too much
               C                                     G
        But you bet your butt I'm gonna live before I die
                  C               F
        And I may smoke too much, drink too much
         C              F
        Every blessed thing too much
              C                    G                  C
        It'a a low down life but it ain't gonna pass me by.


C                                              G
I don't care if the world don't ever hear the sound of my name
                                                       C
And old mother luck & all her daughters keep-a-duckin' me
                                            G
As long as that cat I gotta look at when I shave ain't ashamed
                                                 C
There ain't no Jody in the world I'd ever rather be

        C              F
Now I love too much, fight too much
        C               F
        Stay out late at night too much
               C                                     G
        But you bet your butt I'm gonna live before I die
                  C               F
        And I may smoke too much, drink too much
         C              F
        Every blessed thing too much
              C                    G                  C
        It'a a low down life but it ain't gonna pass me by.
