Intro 1
(D major) (G major) (D major) (F major) (D major)
Verse 1
Born in (D major)
Louisiana, on a farm they call
Goldmine
My daddy left when I was three hard times for my mother,
my brother and me (F major) (D major)
Mother left to find a job to
lay the food on the table
So we packed up everything we had
and went to live with my
Grandpa
Caleb
Now that's (G major) how it started
And I still am going on strong (D major)
Yeah, for me (G major) that's how it started
And I'm still going on straight (D major)
Now, my grandpa was a marshal
In that part of the parish
And never I've been here
to take it with him
And I never will forget it
Said for (G major) me that's how it started
And I'm still going on strong (D major)
Shit for (G major) me, that's how it started
And I'm still goin' on strong (D major) (G major)
(D major)
There was two nightclubs in
Mangum, on opposite sides of the track
One side was full of white and
the other full of black
On (F major) (D major) one side I remember
Hank
Williams singin' the
Mercy
Blues
On the other side,
Elmore
James was singin'
Dust
Mountain
I believe (G major) that's how I got started
And I'm still going on strong (D major)
Say for me (G major) that's how it started
And I'm still going on strong (D major)
That's just the boyhood days
I've been through
Can't produce a minute of song
But I owe it all to my grandpa
Taylor
And him I give it all
Cause for me (G major) that's how it started
And I'm still going on
Startin' (D major)
Said for (G major) me that's how it started
And I'm standing by my (D major) side
