Awful Beautiful Life

Note-This is played in Drop tuning to get the full effect, however it sounds fine with normal chords too. If you play in normal tuning just ignore the walkdown. See diagrams at the bottom. Intro: (x4) I woke up early with a pounding in my head I'd been out the night before with all my friends A little worried, kinda wondering what I did I said, Lord please forgive me for my sins My wife wanted to kill me but she tried to save me first (walkdown) You're goin' if I have to drag your butt to church I love this crazy tragic, sometimes almost magic Awful, beautiful life I read the hymns and kinda sorta sang along Made it through the Sunday sermon wide awake We met the family for dinner at our home Drank some beer, watched the game and cooked some steak My little brother had a big fight with his wife (walkdown) And our poor mother sat between em both all night I love this crazy tragic, sometimes almost magic Awful, beautiful life Instrumental: A-G-D We said a prayer for cousin Michael in Iraq We're all aware that he may never make it back We talked about the way we missed his stupid jokes And how he loved to be a soldier more than most I lay in bed that night and thought about the day And how my life is like a roller-coaster ride The ups and downs and crazy turns along the way It'll throw you off if you don't hold on tight You can't really smile until you shed some tears (walkdown) I could die today or I might live on for years I love this crazy tragic, sometimes almost magic Awful, beautiful life I love this crazy tragic, sometimes almost magic Awful, beautiful life
