[Intro]
 
F               C           Am            C        C
I wish I was a slave to an age-old trade
F               C           Am            C             C
Like ridin' around on railcars and workin' long days
F                           C                  C
Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways
F                      C                       C
Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways
 
[Intro Again]
 
 
[Verse]
 
F                       C
Call it one drink too many
Am                              C       C
Call it pride of a man
F                       C                       Am          C
But it don't make no difference if you sit or you stand
F                       N.C.                             C
'Cause they both end in trouble and start with a grin
F                     N.C.                           C
Yeah they both end in trouble and start with a grin
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
F                  C                    Am      C
We do it over and over and over again
F                   C                Am     C
We do it over and over and over again
 
F       Am      C       G
Oh      -oh     -oh     -oh (slow) (straight strumming)
F       Am      C
Oh      -oh     -oh     -oh  (build)
F       Am      C       G
Oh      -oh     -oh     -oh 
 
 
F                                    Am
I know there's California, Oklahoma
C                                   G
And all of the places I ain't ever been to but
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F
Down in the valley with
Am
Whiskey rivers
C                               G
These are the places you will find me hidin'
F                               Am
These are the places I will always go (not slow)
F                               C
These are the places I will always go (not slow)
 
F
I am on my way (slow)
Am
I am on my way (slow)
F                               C
I am on my way back to where I started
 
 
[Bridge]
 
F       Am      C       G (build)
 
F       Am      C       G
Oh      -oh     -oh     -oh (straight strumming)
 
F       Am      C       G
Oh      -oh     -oh     -oh  (build) (continued in the background)
 
 
F                                               Am
One more for the stars and the eyes of the walls
 
C                              G
I hail your face, and then I saw you standing out
 
F ............................... Am ............ (build)
 
C                         G
I saw your face in the crowd and you came out
 
F ................... Am ............ (build)
 
C                           G
You saw me crossing the valley and you came in
 
F                          Am
There was a sign on the door and it reads to me
 
C                                       G
Just like the grass and the sign when you walked in
 
 
F       Am      C       G
Oh      -oh     -oh     -oh (straight strumming)
 
 
F       Am      C       G
Oh      -oh     -oh     
 
 
F
I am on my way (slow)
Am
I am on my way (slow)
 
F                               C
I am on my way back to where I started
 
F                Am
California, Oklahoma
C                                   G
And all of the places I ain't ever been to but
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F
Down in the valley with
Am
Whiskey rivers
C                               G
These are the places you will find me hidin'
F                               Am
These are the places I will always go (slow)
F                               C
These are the places I will always go (slow)
F                                       C
So I wish I was a slave to an age-old trade
F                                       C
Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways

The formatting is completely off on ALL devices. This should be corrected or someone should repost correctly. That is all.
