Life Aint Fair And The World Is Mean
Sturgill Simpson
Key : E
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
B7 | A7 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
E          E
 Well that label man said son
Now can you sing a little bit more clear
Said your voice might be too genuine
Your song's a little too sincere
Can you sing a little more 'bout outlaws
           A7                  E
And the way  things used to be?
He told me you just worry about writing them songs
      B7
Leave everything else to me

[Verse 2]
---------------------
E      E
 Daddy was a Highwayman
But he never wrote any old country songs
Papaw never stayed out
Raising hell til the break of dawn
But he raised a proud coal miners daughter
        A7              E
And I'm proud to be her son
She told me boy I don't care if you hit it big
              B7
'Cause you're already number one
                     A7
That's the way it goes 

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
                   E
In this day and age
Well you ain't gotta read between the lines
                            B7
You just gotta turn the page
              A7
Well the most outlaw thing that I've ever done
        E
Was give a good woman a ring
                                          B7
But that's the way it goes Life ain't fair
                 E
and the world is mean

[Post-Chorus]
---------------------
A7 E B7 E             E
         Well I still got the wife and the dog

[Break]
---------------------
But I swapped the truck out for a van
Gonna hit the road find the end of that
Long white line in The Promised Land
You won't hear my song on the radio
A7                     E
New sounds all the rage
But you can always find me in a smokey bar
         B7
With bad sound and a dim lit stage
                     A7
That's the way it goes 

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
                   E
In this day and age
Well you ain't gotta read between the lines
                        B7
You just gotta turn the page
              A7
Well the most outlaw thing that I've ever done
        E
Was give a good woman a ring
                                      B7
That's the way it goes Life ain't fair
                 E
and the world is mean
                     E                B7
That's the way it goes Life ain't fair

[Outro]
---------------------
                 E
and the world is mean
