          D                          G               D  D4 D 
 It ain't nothin' but a small frame house on an acre lot
     D                             A7                      D   D4 D 
 It ain't that much diff'rent from any other house on the block
        D                     G                       D  G 
 And it may not look like we got our share of the promise
         D                     A7               D   
 But at least one thing's for sure, I got it honest.
 
 D                          G                              D D4 D 
 Roll out of the sack ev'ry mornin', head on down to the mill
 D                       A7                       D  D4 D 
 Give 'em all I got for eight, 'cause that's the deal
             D                  
 If you'll check out my paycheck
               G                             D    G 
 Well, you'll see that there ain't that much on it
       D                     A7               D   
 But ev'ry single penny I'm paid, I got it honest.
 
    G                                
 I never had to hang my head in shame
     D                             
 For puttin' a price tag on my name
   G                                
 Never turned back on what I believe
     E                        A   
 Or let my heart be ruled by greed
         D                 G                D     G 
 'Cause buddy if I didn't earn it, I don't want it
      D                 A7               D  D4 D

 Now you ain't looking at some dude
           G                               D   D4 D 
 That was born with a Silver spoon in his mouth
        D                            A7     
 And I might seem like some kind of low life
                         D D4 D 
 To that high-falutin' crowd
           D                           
 But I'm plain spoken, straight talkin'
       G                          D        D4 D 
 And damn proud of what I have accomplished
