Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

see below for guitar interlude played during verse)

 Well I thought about the army

 Dad said, "Son you're fucking high"

 And I thought, yeah there's a first for everything

So I took my old man's advice, three sad semesters

 It was only fifteen grand

 spent in bed, I thought about the army

I dropped out and joined a band instead

Chorus

piano solo)

Verse 2

same as verse 1 except for Fm chord)

Grew a moustache and a mullet

Got a job at chick-fillet

Citing artistic differences

the band broke up in May

 And in June reformed without me

And they got a different name

I nuked another grandma's apple pie

And hung my head in shame, no

Chorus

listen to song for the arrangement of the chords)

Been thinking a lot today

Been thinking a lot today

Bridge

Oh Oh Think I'll write a screenplay

Oh Oh Think I'll take you to LA

Oh Oh Think I'll get it done yesterday

Piano solo

Guitar solo

HORN INTERLUDE ("")

Verse 3

same chords as previous verse)

In this time of introspection

On the eve of my election

I say to my reflection

God please spare me more rejection

'Cause my peers, they criticize me

And my ex-wives all despise me

Try to put it all behind me

But my redneck past is nipping at my heels

Chorus

same as previous chorus)

ENDING

 I thought about

the army
