         B                  F#maj                C#maj         E
 I got a half a six pack of Old Milwaukee, and a half a bag of weed
         B                       F#maj             C#maj         E
 I can't do it like I did when I was a kid this is all I'm gonna need
         B                               F#maj                    C#maj             E
 Because I know you always worry bout me drinking my dinner but I don't do that anymore
            B                                 F#maj                    C#maj              E
 I got me a sweet girl at home, she's keeping food on the table and at night she keeps me warm
         B                    F#maj           C#maj            E
 So I've got me this piece of paper, and I've got my favorite pen
             B                                 F#maj                  C#maj            E
 I know it's been a little while and talking's not my style so I just had to write my friends
 
 
 [Chorus]
 
                       B                F#maj                      C#maj                  E
 Well hey I'm doing alright mamma, I'm okay I know your late night talks with Jesus have helped me on my way
           B                  F#maj               C#maj     E
 I know it wasn't always easy raising my father's son
                   B                  F#maj                C#maj            E
 And your son will be alright if the shows keep comin, this old guitar and me are still strumming 
   B                             F#maj           C#maj    E
 I know you always knew I always took it way too far
                 C#maj              E
 But I'm doin alright now mamma
            C#maj              E

 You remember the time when I was stuck in LA and I didn't have a job and I didn't have a way
            B                    F#maj        C#maj                   E
 To pay the bills that I'd racked up yeah you kept me from losing my truck
            B                          F#maj                C#maj               E
 Yeah I'm a little better off now than I was then but it's sure nice to see you calling me when
      B               F#maj             C#maj           E
 I'm out there on the road yeah you're calling, to say "have a good show"
 
 
 [Chorus]
 
                       B                F#maj                      C#maj                  E

           B                  F#maj               C#maj     E
 I know it wasn't always easy raising my father's son
                   B                  F#maj                C#maj            E
 And your son will be alright if the shows keep comin, this old guitar and me are still strumming 
   B                             F#maj           C#maj    E

                 C#maj              E

He tunes down half a step or you can play capo 3 G D Am C if you’d rather. Correct chords just different tuning

If I transpose so it starts in A#, then it plays perfectly with the song. Often when you see a song on Youtube the guitar was probably tuned up, but thank you for the post. You did all the work. I'll have to check out the Youtube video. Thanks again!

I'd go with a capo on the 1st. From there, A - E - Bm - D throughout. At the breaks "I'm doin' alright now, mamma... I'm doin' alright now, mamma..." use Bm or F#m. This seems to match what's on the Adobe Recordings. Thanks for the chord post!
