Lee Macdougall “How To Be” Guitar Chords

 

Hi there!  This is one of my favorites from Lee.
It's such a great song and fun to play too:)   

*Sometimes he plays this song with the capo on 2, still using
these same chords. So, if you're not playing with the version
from the link you may have to change the capo if it sounds off.

Play along-

Intro-
C Cmaj7 F G


                 [032000]
C                 Cmaj7
I don't care what people say
   F                   G
It makes no difference anyway
C                     Cmaj7
I try my best to understand
    F                    G
Why such a failure would need a hand

  F -once            G once
I don't quite have a job per such
  F -once          G once
I drink out loud I swear too much
    F              G
And my girl says I sing off key
  F                   Fm
I think she's getting bored of me 
  C*     FM7/A     C*   GG
Because, everybody does



C             Am            Em   F
I wish I knew how to be somebody
       C                 Am                 G   
'Cause I can't stand the thought of being myself
    C              G
And you may laugh, you may smile
Am                  F
Humor me for just a little while 
  C    G           C    GG 
Because, everybody does



C                   Cmaj7
And people say that I'm not well
  F               G
I guess that only time will tell
C                   Cmaj7
I fill my head with dirty jokes
   F                    G
To cheer me up when I'm sad and broke



    F -once          G once
And my girl tries to make amends
      F  -once             G once
But I heard she's sleepin' with my friends
    F                   G
She said that she's got PMT
  F                   Fm 
I think she's gettin' bored of me
  C*     FM7/A     C*   GG
Because, everybody does



C             Am            Em   F
I wish I knew how to be somebody
       C                 Am                 G   
'Cause I can't stand the thought of being myself
    C                    G
And if you've listened a little bit
    Am                      F       F -once
You probably think that I'm full if sh*t

  C    F           C   F 
Because, everybody does
          C    F
Everybody does
          C*  -once    
Everybody does

			


		


Have fun!
