Ronnie Dunn-Cost of Living
Standard tuning- Capo 2
Feel free to try the Capo else where for your singing preference.
It does work at Capo 3.
Verse 1:
D Em
Every thing you know about me is written on this page
G D
A number you can reach me, my social, and my age
D Em
Yes I served in the Army, it's where I learned to shoot
G D
Eighteen months in the desert, pouring sand out of my boots
Em G
No I've never been convicted of a crime
Em G
I could start this job at any time
Chorus 1:
D Em
I've got a strong back, steel toes I rarely call in sick
G D
A good truck, what I don't know, I catch on real quick
D Em
I work weekends, if I have to, Nights and Holidays
G D
Give you forty, and then some, whatever it takes
Em G
Three dollars and change at the pump
Em D
The cost of living's high, and going up
Verse 2:
D Em
I put Robert down as a reference, he's known me all my life
G D
We attend the same church, he introduced me to my wife
D Em
Gave my last job everything, before it headed south
G
Took the shoes off of my children's feet,
D
the food out of their mouths
Em G
Yesterday my folks offered to help
Em G
But they're barely getting by themselves
Chorus 1:
D Em
I've got a strong back, steel toes I rarely call in sick

I work weekends, if I have to, Nights and Holidays
G D
Give you forty, and then some, whatever it takes

Three dollars and change at the pump
Em D
The cost of living's high, and going up
Bridge:
Em G
I'm sure a hundred others have applied
Em G
Rumor has it you're only taking five
Chorus 2:
D Em
I've got a strong back, steel toes, I'm handy with a wrench
G D
There's nothing I can't drive, nothing I can't fix
D Em
I work sun up, 'til sun down, ain't to proud to sweep the floor
G D
The bank has started calling, and the wolves are at my door
Em G
Three dollars and change at the pump
Em D
The cost of living's high and going up
Outro through D
I know some of you may suggest that there is another chord in a place or two.
However this is the simple playing man's version.
