The Real Me Shooter Jennings
This is a fairly basic way to play this song but it works and sounds good. Listen to the
song to get an idea of the strumming
Intro: D
[D]I wake up with my children
Right around the crack of noon
And I do good like a good daddy should
Till the devil rolls out that moon
Once that whiskey hits my lips
It opens Pandora?s box
And I start a lyin and a smoking and a fightin
Getting crazy as a white tailed fox.
My eye[G]s start burnin wild and red
Two ho[E]rns cut through the top of my head
My tee[D]th get jagged, my tongue gets sharp,
Cold n[G]eon blood starts a pumpin to my heart
My han[E]ds get frisky, with a mind of their own,
My leg[A]s start walkin me anywhere but home
And I?m a [D]double talking, chicken-lickin
[G]Meaner than the dickens sick and
[D]Wicked hole digging pickin [G]son of a gun,
And I?ll l[D]ove you like the devil, bite you
[G]Like a snake and then forsake and
[D]Break everything I don?t take be[G]fore I?m done
[D]Most people who know me say I?m as nice as a guy could be
That?s all fine cuz most of the time
They never get to see the real me
?He ain?t got a bad bone in his body?
Is how they talk about me back home,
But here my dark side is unable to hide
And you don?t want to see my bad bone.
My eye[G]s start burnin wild and red
Two ho[E]rns cut through the top of my head
My tee[D]th get jagged, my tongue gets sharp,
Cold n[G]eon blood starts a pumpin to my heart
My han[E]ds get frisky, with a mind of their own,
My leg[A]s start walkin me anywhere but home
And I?m a [D]double talking, chicken-lickin
[G]Meaner than the dickens sick and
[D]Wicked hole digging pickin [G]son of a gun,
And I?ll l[D]ove you like the devil, bite you
[G]Like a snake and then forsake and
[D]Break everything I don?t take be[G]fore I?m done
[D] [G] [D]
I'm mean when [G]I'm lonesome and
I'm on'ry when I'm high
I'm a dre[D]am when I'm home sonR[G]32;
But I'll ch[D]ase that nightmare until I die̷[G]2;
But I'll ch[D]ase that nightmare until I die̷[G]2;
D (stop)
But I'll chase that nightmare until I die
G, E, D, G, E, A
[D]And I?m a double talking, chicken-lickin
[G]Meaner than the dickens sick and
[D]Wicked hole digging pickin [G]son of a gun,
And I?ll l[D]ove you like the devil, bite you
[G]Like a snake and then forsake and
[D]Break everything I don?t take be[G]fore I?m done
[D]And I?m a double talking, chicken-lickin
[G]Meaner than the dickens sick and
[D]Wicked hole digging pickin [G]son of a gun,
And I?ll l[D]ove you like the devil, bite you
[G]Like a snake and then forsake and
[D]Break everything I don?t take be[G]fore I?m done
D, G, D, G, D, G, D,
G, D (hold)
