It's A Great Life (If You Don't Weaken)
Banjo Tuned E, Key of D

Well Dit's a great lGife if you don't weDaken but who waGnts to be
stDrong
[Chorus]
Well I don't guGess I'll ever make a mDillion I just want Genough to
get Dby
Like a checking the tGown in two or three banks aE7nd a yellow Cadillac
to drAive
To go sportDin' around with two or three Gred-heads or maybe take a
blonde aDlong
It's a great lGife if you don't weDaken but who wanGts to be sDtrong
[Chorus]
Just give me my Gmoney and cold hard pDension give my E7guitar in Atune
And get mDe a date with a pretGty little thing and I'll be barkin'
at thDe moon
No want Gmore than anybody Delse just takes more foGr me to get Dalong
It's a great liGfe if you don't weDaken but who waGnts to be Dstrong
[Chorus]
It's a simple tGhing in life that really matter and I'E7m a pretty
simple gAuy
Just giDve me a house a swimming Gpool and a liDttle sport pGlane to fDly
It don't taGke much to satisfy Dme I'm a country Gboy tryin' to get
alongD  
It's a great lGife if you don't wDeaken but who wGants to be sDtrong
