A fun drinking/campfire song by George Strait!
A couple notes: E5, C#5 and D5 are all barre chords relative to the capo (7th, 6th
and 4th on A, the bass note), all chords are played with a half-step slide (listen
to the song for clarification, I'm not sure what the terminology is for that), and enjoy!.
Capo II
E
I'm not gonna lay around and whine and moan
B
cuz somebody done done me wrong
Don't think for a minute that I'm gonna sit
E
around and sing some old sad song
A B
I believe it's half full not a half empty glass
A B
Every day I wake up knowing it could be my last
Chorus:
A B
I ain't here for a long time
E
I'm here for a good time
A B
So bring on the sunshine, to hell with the red wine
E
Pour me some moon shine
A B E5 D#5 C#5
When I'm gone put it in stone "He left nothing behind"
B A B
I ain't here for a long time
E
I'm here for a good time
E
Folks are always dreaming ‘bout what they’d like to do
B
but I like to do just what I like
I’ll take the chance, dance the dance,
E
it might be wrong but then again it might be right
A B
There's no way of knowing what tomorrow brings
A B
Life's too short to waste it I say bring on anything
Chorus:
A B
I ain't here for a long time
E
I'm here for a good time
A B
So bring on the sunshine, to hell with the red wine
E
Pour me some moon shine
A B E5 D#5 C#5
When I'm gone put it in stone "He left nothing behind"
B A B
I ain't here for a long time
E5 D#5 C#5
I'm here for a good time
B A B
I ain't here for a long time
E
I'm here for a good time
