I like to switch to barr chords on the chorus just to give it a little more of a rock feel. Intro: Dm Am G Dm 2x Verse 1: Dm Am Was a smoke filled room was a Friday night G Dm Talkin to a sweet thing and havin me a good time Dm Am When through that door Big Jim walked in G Dm He'd been pushin me around since we was kids Dm Am I lowered my hat as he came toward me G Dm I heard him say, "Hey, you," but never saw him swing Dm Am He knocked me down on that nasty foor G Dm But somethin felt different than the times before Chorus 1: Dm Am Cause I got back up like my daddy taught G Dm Life's gonna hurt ya, but ya brush it off Dm Am Naw, you can't quit, ya gotta fight back, son G Am When you find yourself on the ground Dm Am G Dm You gotta get back up Verse 2: Dm Am I worked ten long years in a deep coal mine G Dm Til the roof caved in and it broke my spine Dm Am They put me in a chair and the doctor said, G Dm "I hate to tell ya, son, but ya ain't gonna walk again." Dm Am So, I closed my eyes, and prayed to The Lord G Dm And then a fire ran through me that moment before Chorus 2: Dm Am I got back up like my daddy taught G Dm Life's gonna hurt ya, but ya brush it off Dm Am Naw, you can't quit, ya gotta fight back, son G Am When you find yourself on the ground Dm You gotta get back up Solo: Dm Am G Dm (2x Softly pickin the second time) Verse 3: Dm Am When my time comes and they lay me down G Dm In an old pine box in the cold, cold ground Dm Am I won't rest in peace too long before G Dm Heaven calls my name and my spirit sours Chorus 3: Dm Am And I'll get back up when that trumpet sounds G Dm Naw, there ain't no grave gonna hold me down Dm Am I'll meet my Father when that day comes G Am And it's all (and it's all) because G Am And it's all (and it's all) because Dm I got back up Ending: Dm Am G Dm Dm Am G Am Dm The endin consists of a lotta strummin and mutin. Just listen to the track and match it up.
