Capo: 5th fret
INTRO:
G A
D G
D G
VERSE:
D
Outside there's a rusty pickup
G
Underneath a shed
A
Mockingbird's nest in the tailpipe
G A
Empty feed sack in the bed
D
They took away my keys
G
Sayin' I'm too old to drive
A
It's like they're tryin' to bury me
G
While I'm still alive
CHORUS:
A D
I always wanted a son
G
I always wanted a woodshed
A
I always wanted to ride on an open range
D
And learn how to fly a plane, but I, I guess
A D
Even pictures we never take
G
Memories we'll never make still fade
A
I never did all I wanted to do
D G
But I always wanted to
VERSE:
D
They talk like I can't hear 'em
G
When they have to change my sheets
A
They're getting tired and angry
G A
'Cause I won't accept defeat
D
Uncle Frank lived to be a hundred
G
Hell, I'm only ninety five
A
I ain't raising no white flag
G
While I'm still alive
CHORUS:
A D
I always wanted a son
G
I always wanted a woodshed
A
I always wanted to ride on an open range
D
And learn how to fly a plane, but I, I guess
A D
Even pictures we never take
G
Memories we'll never make still fade
A
I never did all I wanted to do
D D G A A
But I always wanted to
VERSE:
D
My Marie showed up this morning
G
Floatin' right above that chair
A
And she smiled the sweetest smile at me
Em A
As she hovered in the air
D
When that fever stole her from me
G
I was twenty seven, she was just twenty five
A
I never dreamed I'd see my angel again
G
While I'm still alive
CHORUS:
A D
I always wanted a son
G
I always wanted a woodshed
A
I always wanted to ride on an open range
D
And learn how to fly a plane, but I, I guess
A D
Even pictures we never take
G
Memories we'll never make still fade
A
I never did all I wanted to do
D D G
But I always wanted to
A
I never did all I wanted to do
D G D G D
But I always wanted to
Outside there's a rusty pickup
Underneath a shed

I always wanted a woodshed
I always wanted to ride on an open range
And learn how to fly a plane, but I guess

I never did all I wanted to do
But I always wanted to
