You Never Know Just How Good Youve Got It by Tracy Byrd
Key:AA| Capo:0fr| |
Intro: AA#EC#7F#7B7EVerse:
E
Hey, once I was the honky-tonkin' talk of the town
AE
Ridin' high in my bad Chevrolet
EC#7
I had seven pretty women, Lord, hangin' on me
F#7B7A different one for every day
E
But look at me now, all my women's left town
AE
And a buck is gettin' hard to come by
AA#
Well I must confess
EC#7
My life's a big mess
F#7B7E
I'm so low, I could lay down and die
Chorus:
E
Well, you never know just how good you've got it 'till you
AE
....ain't got it no more
EC#7
You never know just how high you're flyin' 'till you
F#7B7
Fall face down on the floor
E
All I can do is just moan the blues
AG#7
And dream about what I had before
AA#
Hey, you never know just how
EC#7
Good you've got it 'till you
F#7B7E
Ain't got it no more
Instrumental: EAEC#7F#7B7EAEAA#EC#7F#7B7EVerse:
E
Hey, lately I've become one pool-sharking fool
AE
Make my livin' on them buddies of mine
EC#7
I was cookin' last night when the chips were all down
F#7B7
So I layed everything I had on the line
E
Well i knew I'd regret that hundred dollar bet
AE
But you never learn until it's too late
AA#
We flipped and I lost
EC#7
Then I payed the cost
F#7B7E
When the eight fell in on the break
REPEAT ChorusAA#
No, you never know just how
EC#7
Good you've got it 'till you
F#7B7EE
...Ain't got it no more
