*************** GUITARS THAT WON'T STAY IN TUNE ****************

written by Troy Seals and Eddie Setser

performed by John Anderson.


Verse 1:
         E 
	Well i grew up lean and hungry
	
	I worked hard for my money
              A                 B                E      
	Said i'm gonna live my life the way i please

	I spent some time on the road of life

	Saw an angel once and the devil twice
          A                     B                  E  
	I've come across some things that i don't need


Chorus:
     E            A              E    A              E
	That say cold hearted women,whiskey in my water
      C#m             B                E  
	And only one way out of hotel rooms
         A                 E          A             E
	Payments on the Cadillac,and too many questions
      C#m             B             E  
	Guitars that won't stay in tune


Verse 2:
         E
	You know there's good and bad breaks

	You learn from your mistakes
             A               B                     E        
	It's all in how you handle those do's and don'ts

	A country boy is hard to convice

	Wild and stubborn and not much sense
              A                  B                E  	
	But i've got enough to know what i don't want


Chorus.
      C#m             B             E    
	Guitars that won't stay in tune
