Drop D tuning
[Intro]
 D(hammer your 1st finger on the 3rd string, 2nd fret as you strum)
[Verse]
Well, there Dain't a pair of boots in my closet that ain't scuffed up and walked right through the soles
And there Gain't a pair of jeans that ain't hanging on by the seams and full of Dholes
I ain't Cnever been inGside a three-piece Dsuit
And my Ccollar's just a Gworn out shade of Dblue
[Chorus]
I try to Dbeat the morning sun out of the bed
Then I Dwork like hell til the sun goes down and then I rest my head 
Next to the most Gbeautiful thing you've ever seen
GLord only knows what she means to me, solid as the rock on her left Ahand
She's Cproud to be my woman
GThat's why I'm Cproud to be her Dman
[Verse]
She's flDowers in her hair on Sunday morning and she's a Bud Light in her hand on Friday night
She's Gcornbread in the oven, she's wild and crazy loving me just Dright - Oh you know that's right
She aiCn't afraid to Gput me in my plaDce
She ain'Ct afraid to love me every Gnight so every Dday
[Chorus]
I try to Dbeat the morning sun out of the bed
Then I Dwork like hell til the sun goes down and then I rest my head 
Next to the most Gbeautiful thing you've ever seen
GLord only knows what she means to me, solid as the rock on her left Ahand
She's Cproud to be my woman
GThat's why I'm Cproud to be her Dman
[Bridge]
She can Emrock a dress in cowboy boots, make a Grolling stone wanna plant some roots
She's the Emone thing that I can't afford to Alose
[Chorus 2]
So I try to bDeat the morning sun out of the bed
Man I Dwork like hell til the sun goes down and then
I rest my head next to the most beGautiful thing you've ever seen
GLord only knows what she means to me
The reason I keep this ring on my left Ahand
CShe's proud to be my woman, thaGt's why I'm prCoud to be her Dman
CShe's proud to be my woman, thaGt's why I'm prCoud to be her Dman

Drop D tuning

[Intro]

(hammer your 1st finger on the 3rd string, 2nd fret as you strum)

[Verse]

Well, there ain't a pair of boots in my closet that ain't scuffed up and walked right through the soles

G D

And there ain't a pair of jeans that ain't hanging on by the seams and full of holes

C G D

I ain't never been inside a three-piece suit

C G D

And my collar's just a worn out shade of blue

[Chorus]

I try to beat the morning sun out of the bed

Then I work like hell til the sun goes down and then I rest my head

Next to the most beautiful thing you've ever seen

G A

Lord only knows what she means to me, solid as the rock on her left hand

She's proud to be my woman

G C D

That's why I'm proud to be her man

[Verse]

She's flowers in her hair on Sunday morning and she's a Bud Light in her hand on Friday night

G D

She's cornbread in the oven, she's wild and crazy loving me just right - Oh you know that's right

C G D

She ain't afraid to put me in my place

C G D

She ain't afraid to love me every night so every day

[Chorus]

I try to beat the morning sun out of the bed

Then I work like hell til the sun goes down and then I rest my head

Next to the most beautiful thing you've ever seen

G A

Lord only knows what she means to me, solid as the rock on her left hand

She's proud to be my woman

G C D

That's why I'm proud to be her man

[Bridge]

Em G

She can rock a dress in cowboy boots, make a rolling stone wanna plant some roots

Em A

She's the one thing that I can't afford to lose

[Chorus 2]

So I try to beat the morning sun out of the bed

Man I work like hell til the sun goes down and then

I rest my head next to the most beautiful thing you've ever seen

Lord only knows what she means to me

The reason I keep this ring on my left hand

C G C D

She's proud to be my woman, that's why I'm proud to be her man

C G C D

She's proud to be my woman, that's why I'm proud to be her man
