Proud Souls Written by Jason Boland Artist Jason Boland and the Stragglers Cd Pearl Snaps From robs74@msn.com Capo 2 G5 D5 E5 C5 G5 D5 I got drunk by myself last night E5 C5 they say it's no way to make things right G5 D5 G5 I just didn't have anything better to do. G5 D5 The dog was asleep on the living room rug and E5 C5 I watched a show about crime and drugs, G5 D5 G5 punished a bottle of bourbon until it was through. G5 D5 I don't care that I can't sleep E5 C5 I'd just as soon stay up all week G5 D5 G5 I might get some things done while others dream. G5 D5 The heater broke and the room got cold E5 C5 and my knees and ankles say I'm gettin' older G5 D5 G5 the phone finally rang but it wasn't for me Chorus B5 C5 If everyone was together G5 D5 I guess no one would be alone G5 D5 G5 Life's a lot of trade offs in the end. B5 C5 Somewhere in the fields of heather G5 D5 The proud souls laugh and love together G5 D5 G5 somewhere between passion and losing friends G5 D5 Sleep finally came but I woke up alone E5 C5 my head was next to the telephone G5 D5 G5 I gave the sun a cussin' as I drew the shades. G5 D5 The thing that seems always true E5 C5 when I'm hung over the sky is blue. G5 D5 G5 A rough night for me will make a hell of a day G5 D5 I believe in ghosts and democracy E5 C5 and that each man should leave his legacy G5 D5 G5 be that mans work great or be it small. G5 D5 I don't believe in everything like E5 C5 the designated hitter or that diamond rings G5 D5 G5 will make love last forever for one and all. Chorus
