Proud Souls Jason Boland & The Stragglers
Proud Souls by Jason Boland
Tabbed by Jaclyn
Standard tuning - Capo II
Well I [G]Got drunk by myse[D]lf last night
They s[Em]ay its no way to m[C]ake things right
[G]I just didn't have an[C]ything better to d[D]o.
Th[G]e dog was asleep on t[D]he living room rug and
I wat[Em]ched a show about c[C]rime and drugs
[G]Finished a bottle of Ja[D]eger until it was thr[G]ough
And [G]I don't care that [D]I can't sleep
Hell, I'[Em]d just as soon stay [C]up all week
[G]I might get some things [C]done while others d[D]ream.
Th[G]e heater broke and th[D]e room got cold
Any my [Em]knees and ankles say [C]I'm gettin' older
[G]The phone finally r[D]ang but it wasn't for[G] me.
Chorus:
If [Bm]Everyone was [C]together
I guess [G]no one would be [C]alone
[G]Life's a lot of t[C]rade offs in the [D]end.
So[Bm]mewhere in the f[C]ields of heaven
The p[G]roud souls laugh and t[C]hey love together
[G]Somewhere between p[D]assion and losin f[G]riends.
[G]Sleep finally came but I w[D]oke up alone
And my [Em]head was laying next to the[C] telephone,
[G]I gave the sun a c[C]ussin' as I drew the [D]shades.
[G]One thing that seems al[D]ways true
That's whe[Em]n I'm hung-over well the s[C]ky is blue,
[G]A rough night for [D]me will make a hell of a [G]day.
And I[G] believe in ghost and de[D]mocracy
And that [Em]each man should leave us his [C]legacy
[G]Be that mans' wo[C]rk great or be it [D]small.
But, I [G]don't believe in eve[D]rything like
The d[Em]esignated hitter or that d[C]iamond ring
[G]We'll make love last fo[D]rever for one and a[G]ll
If [Bm]Everyone was [C]together
Why are [G]so many left[C] alone
[G]Life's a lot of t[C]rade offs in the [D]end.
So[Bm]mewhere in the f[C]ields of heaven
The p[G]roud souls laugh and t[C]hey love together
[G]Somewhere between p[D]assion and losin f[G]riends.
[G]Somewhere between p[D]assion and losin f[G]riends.
