I Wrote The Book Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]
[G][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
When it comes [D]to
hitchin' the boat up
Backin' down the ramp in my old truck
[G]To find a bunch of [D]logs,
to catch [G]a bunch of hog[D]s
[G]Yeah, I wrote the[D] book,
yeah, I wrote the book

[Verse 2]
If you wanna [D]learn to throw a curve right
Catch a clean up lookin'
on a third [G]strike
Talk a little smack while he's walkin' [D]back
[G]Yeah, I wrote the[D] book

[Verse 3]
But there's [D]one that lays by
the lamp on the nightstand
One that says don't cuss and don't fight
[G]Or let the bottle turn you
into a different man
But damn if I don't do it
every Friday [D]night
Those get you into Heaven letters in red
Ain't gettin' read enough to
keep me on a straight [G]line
I'm a Jack of all trades,
but man I gotta say
That's one book [D]I didn't write

[Interlude 1]
[D]

[Verse 4]
I met a good [D]girl,
she had her life straight
She said she loved that I
was good at everything
[G]One day she left me in
a cloud of dust
'Cause I never was too
good at pickin' [D]up
[G]The one

[Verse 5]
[D]that lays by the
lamp on the nightstand
One that says don't cuss and don't fight
[G]Or let the bottle turn you
into a different man
But damn if I don't do it
every Friday [D]night
Those get you into Heaven letters in red
Ain't gettin' read enough
to keep me on a straight [G]line
I'm a Jack of all trades,
but man I gotta say
That's one book I didn't [D]write

[Interlude 2]
[G]

[Verse 6]
Yeah, the [D]good Lord knows I need it
I didn't [G]write it,
but I probably oughta read it

[Verse 7]
The [D]one that lays by the lamp
on the nightstand
One that says don't cuss and don't fight
[G]Or let the bottle turn you
into a different man
But damn if I don't do it
[D]every Friday night
Those get you into Heaven letters in red
Ain't gettin' read enough to
keep me on a straight [G]line
I'm a Jack of all trades,
but man I gotta say
That's one book I didn't [D]write
That's one book I [G]didn't write
That's one book I didn't [D]write
