These Are My People
guitar tabs lyrics
Intro: (C) (C/B) (Am) (G) (F) (C) x 2
Well we (C) grew up (C/B) down by the (Am) railroad (G) tracks
Shootin' (F) b.b.'s at (G) old beer (C) cans
Chokin' on the (C/B) smoke from a (Am) lucky strike
(G) Somebody (F) lifted off of (G) his old (C) man
We were football (C/B) flunkies
(Am) Southern rock (G) junkies
(F) Crackin' up the (G) stere(C)os
Singin' loud and (C/B) proud to (Am) "Gimme Three (G) Steps"
"Simple (F) Man" and (G) "Curtis (C) Low"
We were good, ya know (C) (C/B) (Am) (G) (F) (G) (C)
We got some (C) discount (C/B) knowledge at the (Am) junior (G) college
Where we (F) majored in (G) beer and (C) girls
It was all real (C/B) funny �til we (Am) ran out of (G) money
And they (F) threw us out (G) into the (C) world
Yeah the kids that (C/B) thought they'd (Am) run this (G) town
Ain't (F) runnin' much of (G) any(C)thing
We're just lovin' and (C/B) laughin'
And (Am) bustin' our (G) asses
And we (F) call it all (G) livin' the (C) dream
These are my (F) people (G)
This is where (C) I come from
We're (F) givin' this life every(G)thing we've got and (C) then some
It ain't always (F) pretty (G)
But it's (C) real
That's the (C) way we were (C/B) made
Wouldn't (Am) have it any (G) other (F) way
These are my (C) people (C) (C/B) (Am) (G) (F) (G) (C)
Well we take it all week on the chin with a grin
Till we make it to a friday night
And it's church league softball holler �bout a bad call
Preacher breakin' up the fight
Then later on at the green light tavern
Well everybody's gatherin' as friends
And the beer is pourin' till monday mornin'
Where we start all over again
Repeat Chorus
We (C) fall (G) down and we get up
We walk (F) proud and we talk tough
We (C) got (G) heart and we got nerve
(F) Even if we are a (G) bit disturbed
Solo
Repeat Chorus
