VERSE 1: 
 
A                              D          C        A 
The old man was a good man, he raised his children right 
A                                 A         E      A  
He taught us how to work hard and showed us how to fight  
A                               A       C     D 
Told me about the good Lord and when to use a gun  
C            G                 C  
Made me very proud of where it is that I come from

B-C      D                       E  G# A 
  When I die put my bones in the Dixie dirt 
D                               E       G#       A  
Look down on me smiling I don't want no feelings hurt 
D                          E      G#     F#  
All I leave behind me is a ragged old guitar 
  C                  G             A  
I many not change the world but I'm gonna leave a scar

VERSE 2:
 
 
A  
Years they rolled on by, the old man turned me loose  
Way cross town I learned about them sad ol' country blues  
                                                      D 
Taught me how to prep my heart from trying to make it right  
C              G              C  
Told me not to ever break but one law at a time  
 
MAIN RIFF 
 
 
 
B-C      D                       E  G# A 
  When I die put my bones in the Dixie dirt 
D                               E       G#       A  
Look down on me smiling I don't want no feelings hurt 
D                          E      G#     F#  
All I leave behind me is a ragged old guitar 
  C                  G             A  
I may not change the world but I'm gonna leave a scar

BRIDGE: 
 
            F#              D 
Hope you'll wear me on your memory like a painted old tattoo  
  B                                       E 
I might not make no history book but I'll burn a page or two  
Yeah  
 
Pre-Lead: A D G A 
 
 
B-C      D                       E  G# A

D                               E       G#       A  
Look down on me smiling I don't want no feelings hurt 
D                          E      G#     F#  
All I leave behind me is a ragged old guitar 
  C                  G             A 
I may not change the world but I'm gonna leave a scar 
 C                  G                  A  
I may not change the world ... but I'm gonna leave a scar
