VERSE 1:
A D A F#m
Persuaded, paraded, inebriated, in doubt
E Esus D A D E Esus
Still aware of everything life carries on without
A D A F#m
Cause there's one too many faces with dollar sign smiles
E Esus D A
I got to find the shortest path to the bar for a while

CHORUS:
G D D A
A long way from happiness
A G D D A
In a three hour away town
A G D D A
Whiskey bottle over Jesus
Bm D E Esus
Not forever, just for now
Bm D E Esus
Not forever, but just for now

VERSE 2:
There's a trouble around, it's never far away
The same trouble's been around for a life and a day
I can't forget the sound cause it's here to stay
The sound of people chasing money and money getting away

CHORUS

PEDAL STEEL GUITAR SOLO (same chords as a verse)

VERSE 3:
In between the dirt and disgust there must be
Some air to breathe and something to believe
Liquor and guns, the sign says quite plain
Somehow life goes on in a place so insane

Notes:

The song is in three; I use "|" to mean a bar, and "/" to mean a beat.

The Esus chords are played 022200; just start with your regular E chord
(022100) and move your index finger from the first to the second fret.

Jay doesn't just play all the chords straightforwardly (of course). For
example, on the D in the second bar of the song, he plays a little run:
F#, E, D (1st string 2nd fret, 1st string open, 2nd string 3rd fret). And
on some of the As (especially the intro), he plays the 2nd string open
(what might be called an Aadd9, I don't really know), and then plays the
2nd string at the 2nd fret (like in a regular A chord).
