Chords for Keith Whitley,Hard Livin

_ _ Folks here tonight [G#] on New Country, we hope you've enjoyed it as much as we have.
We're going to leave you with a song that was a top ten record for us this past year from my LA to Miami album.
It's called I Wish Hard Livin' Didn't Come So Easy For Me.
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Well you can call them the sheriff and the highway patrol
Cause there's a fool on the road, careening out of [A] control
Hard-livered, fine women, I just can't let him [E] be _
Oh, I [B] wish I never did, it's done so [E] easy for me _
Well I keep my motor running, got my beer on
I say my idea, heaven is a paradise
[A] Set, set this poor [E] boy free _
[B] Oh, I wish I never did, it's done so easy [E] for me _
_ [A] _ Saturday night, my [E] musta had a poor boy on my feet
You [A] know I'm a piece of cake, shimmy [F#] shake
Spend more [B] money than anybody makes
[E] Well here's some more high octane juice
It's the hard, you know there ain't no cure for these shahawky-toned blues
[A] And if it comes to something, I'll develop an [E] immunity
Oh, [B] I wish I never did, it's done [E] so easy for me
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [A] I don't have time just for fooling around
[E] When I got my mind and I lost [A] that balance
Step up, no need to be [F#] shy
And all the other [B] pretty women's got it diggin' too right
[E] Well my time's a-flat and now I might have gas
Oh, I promised myself I'd let the next one pass
[A] Lord, I wish that it wasn't, didn't break so [E] easily _
_ [B] Oh, I wish I never did, it's done so easy [E] for me _

[E] Well, give me some more high octane juice, Lord, you know there ain't no Kimberley's or Hawkeye's on [A] blues
