"Carrying On"
Montgomery Gentry
While playing this song, you have to switch from E to E7, and A to A7 to get it 
to match the recorded version.
**Capo 1st Fret**
EThere's those who turn their nose up
When we play our music loud
Those folks would love to take control
And turn our volume down
But A7we come from the country
And we live by the code
That if it Efeels good, we're gonna do it
There ain't no middle of the road 
And no A7one's gonna tell me
How to live my Elife
'Cause it's my life
And it A7ain't nobody's business
What kind of flag I Efly
'Cause that's my right 
We just Dlove what we're doin'
You can A7hear it in our songs
We Eain't gonna break, ain't gonna bend
      E (Hold note....)
We're just carryin' on
EIt's a sign of the times, everybody trying
To be politically correct
But worrying 'bout what other people think
Will make you a nervous wreck
We're just A7here to tear the house down 
With the many or the few
There Eain't no law against having a ball
And that's just what we'll do

"Carrying On"

Montgomery Gentry

While playing this song, you have to switch from E to E7, and A to A7 to get it

to match the recorded version.

**Capo 1st Fret**

There's those who turn their nose up

When we play our music loud

Those folks would love to take control

And turn our volume down

But we come from the country

And we live by the code

That if it feels good, we're gonna do it

There ain't no middle of the road

And no one's gonna tell me

How to live my life

'Cause it's my life

And it ain't nobody's business

What kind of flag I fly

'Cause that's my right

We just love what we're doin'

You can hear it in our songs

We ain't gonna break, ain't gonna bend

E (Hold note....)

We're just carryin' on

It's a sign of the times, everybody trying

To be politically correct

But worrying 'bout what other people think

Will make you a nervous wreck

We're just here to tear the house down

With the many or the few

There ain't no law against having a ball

And that's just what we'll do
