This is a great song by my favorite artist. I've listened to it a dozen times or more and im pretty sure the key Brantley plays it in is A# but I have it in A so just put the capo on fret 1. Intro: G5 A5 B5 x2 Verse: 1 G5 A5 B5 Growing up I was always mama's angel G5 A5 B5 Never new I'd ever fall from grace G5 A5 B5 I was taught to walk With God and run from trouble G5 A5 But I ran with a crowd that was bound to change my ways Chorus: D5 I was proud to be in the bad news crowd A5 The one my mama warned me about B5 A5 G5 The closest thing to hell she'd ever raised D5 A5 But when I look back on those days I knew I'd never change a thing B5 A5 G5 I made mistakes that paved the way to the man I am today D5 A5 (let A5 ring) I?m proud of em all, and I had a ball bending the rules and breaking the law Intro: G5 A5 B5 x2 Verse: 2 G5 A5 B5 We were bad about sneakin out and shootin road signs G5 A5 B5 Throwing eggs and rollin every yard in town G5 A5 B5 Yeah my claim to fame was a babe Ruth swing on a mailbox G5 A5 Yeah the police just love driving me around Chorus: Bridge: D5 A5 Yeah you learn to walk the way you talk G5 The DUI means SOL A5 Respect was earned B5 A5 G5 You live and learn to pray A5 You learn to pray D5 We were proud to be in the bad news crowd A5 The one our mamas warned us about B5 A5 G5 The closest thing to hell they?ve ever raised D5 A5 But when I look back on those days I know we'd never change a thing B5 A5 G5 Made mistakes that paved the way for the men we are today D5 A5 (let A5 ring) We?re proud of em all, yall. And we had a ball Bending the rules and breaking the law Outro: G5 A5 B5 x2
