Things Are Fixin To Get Real Good Cifras

[Verse 1]
G
I moved to Nashville back in ‘91
      Em
I was hopin for heaven but I met the Devil’s son
      D
David Allan Coe was right ‘bout a long hard ride
         C                           D
Hell you ought to see the little red truck I drive
G
Well I refused to be something I’m not
     Em
So I didn’t make the Music City News a lot
D
But I don’t give a damn about that now
           C                     D
Cause some people like the way I sound
 
 
[Chorus]
G
Things are fixin’ to get real good
       Em
In the honky tonks you know I’m understood
D
I been to the school of hard knocks and hardwood and
C                   D        G
Things are fixin to get real good
 
[Verse 2]
G
I made a lot of good friends they came from all around
   Em
We chased women and dreams while searching for a sound
    D
But we sank right down the musical tubes
             C                         D
Getting lost in the crowd and drinkin’ too much booze
G
Lord knows I done a lot of things wrong
    Em
But I wrote em all down in my country songs
D
Sometimes you gotta go to hell and back
C                         D
Just to know where you’re at
 
 
[Chorus]
G
Things are fixin’ to get real good
       Em
In the honky tonks you know I’m understood
D
I been to the school of hard knocks and hardwood and
C                   D        G
Things are fixin to get real good
 
 
[Chorus]
G
Things are fixin’ to get real good
       Em
In the honky tonks you know I’m understood
D
I been to the school of hard knocks and hardwood and
C                   D        G
Things are fixin to get real good
 
[Outro]
G
Yeah I’ve done my dance on sawdust and hardwood
    C                    D        G
And things are fixin’ to get real good
N.C.
Yeah they are
G
I have done my dance on sawdust and hardwood
C                    D        G
Things are fixin’ to get real good
