[Verse 1]
C                            Am
They say that smoking isn't allowed in here
    F
But I don't care
       G
Try to sneak you some
C                       Am
Saw your buddies at the barber shop
              F
And they sure fight a lot
                  G
Just like they've always done
F
You look at me
         Am
Like you don't know who I am
C
But that's alright
               G
Because I know who you are


[Chorus]
           F
You're the stubborn one
              Am
My great-granddaddy's son
    G                 E              Am         G
The one who drank his whiskey from a coffee cup
         F
Time has stripped you of
        Am
So many things you love
             G
But you keep fighting on
                   F
Because you're the stubborn one


[Verse 2]
C                         Am
Remember when we saw Hank Aaron play
         F
I was in second grade
             G
You snuck me out of school
C                        Am
And you wore overalls to Sunday church
             F
You said the Good Lord's work
                G
Ain't done in a monkey suit
F
You bought your tires down at
Am
Eddie Shaw's garage
         C                       G
You said K-Mart didn't need your dollar


[Chorus]
           F
You're the stubborn one
              Am
My great-granddaddy's son
    G                 E              Am         G
The one who drank his whiskey from a coffee cup
         F
Time has stripped you of
        Am
So many things you love
             G
But you keep fighting on
                   F
Because you're the stubborn one

[Verse 3]
Am
The nurses wonder why
F
I keep coming back
C                      G
They tell me you can't hear me
Am
I guess I'm more like you
     F
Than anybody knew
  C                           G
I can't let go of what I hold so dearly
F
The stubborn one


[Chorus]
C          F
You're the stubborn one
              Am
My great-granddaddy's son
    G                 E              Am         G
The one who drank his whiskey from a coffee cup
         F
Time has stripped you of
        Am
So many things you love
             G
But you keep fighting on
                   F
Because you're the stubborn one


[Outro]
C Dm
           C            Am
You're the stubborn one
          F             G
Yeah, the stubborn one
           C              Am
You're the stubborn ooooo-one
