CAPO I

INTRO: C F C C F C

C F C

I've got an old blue shirt 'n it suits me just fine

F C

I like the way it feels so I wear it all the time

F C

I got an old guitar that won't ever stay in tune

G C

But I like the way it sounds in the dark and empty room

I've got an old pair of boots that fit my feet just right

I can work all day and go out and dance all night

I've got a new used car that runs just like a top

Yeah I get the feelin' it ain't ever gonna stop

CHORUS:

F C

Stuff that works, stuff that holds up

G C

Is the kinda stuff you don't hang on the wall

F C

Stuff that's real, and that stuff you feel

G C

Is the stuff you always reach for when you fall

F

I got a pretty good friend who's seen me at my worst

He don't care if I'm a blessin' or a curse

But he always shows up when the chips are down

That's the kind of friend I like to be around

CHORUS

VERSE chords

And there's a woman I love and she's crazy and she paints like God

She's got a playground sense of justice, she don't give odds

I've got a tattoo with her name right thru my soul

And I think everything she touches turns to gold

CHORUS (repeat and fade)
