Verse 1:

D                   C                G               D
Well I'm not one to whine or cry, or wallow  in self-pity
D              C                     G            D
I take life in stride, and smell the roses when I can
D                     C                G             D
and I am one of those lucky guys who's happy just to be here
D           C         G               D 
Doin what I love, and thankful that I am

Chorus:

     Bm                              G
With all of life's temptation's this dream that I've been chasin,
       D             A                   Bm
it's a wonder I aint long since dead and gone
     G                         D                Bm
I've cheated undertakers, I've dang near met my maker,
            E7   G              A          D
I'm  tell y'all,   I'm lucky to be here at all

Verse 2:

D                C               G                 D      
My heart hit the cigarettes, and straight Kentucky Bourbon
D            C                    G             D
Takin' their toll, and doin their best to do me in
D           C               G               D
Guitars and beer joint bars up and down the highway
D                    C         G         D
If I could start all over, I'd do it all again

Chorus:

     Bm                              G
With all of life's temptation's this dream that I've been chasin,
       D             A                   Bm
it's a wonder I aint long since dead and gone
     G                         D                Bm
I've cheated undertakers, I've dang near met my maker,
            E7   G              A          D
I'm  tell y'all,   I'm lucky to be here at all

Bridge:

F#m                           G
And when I die I'll thank the good Lord face to face
F                    A
For his patience and grace

Chorus:

     Bm                              G
With all of life's temptation's this dream that I've been chasin,
       D             A                   Bm
it's a wonder I aint long since dead and gone
     G                         D                Bm
I've cheated undertakers, I've dang near met my maker,
            E7   G              A          D
I'm  tell y'all,   I'm lucky to be here at all
