Hey, this is a complete copy of the other version of 'Im Good Now' on 
this site, except it is so, so much simpler to understand.  Props though 
to that author for the chords n lyrics.  Just play the chord line given 
for the paragraph below it.  The intro chords given are to substitute 
for the riff in the other tab version, I can't play the riff and sing it.
          Em    G5    A5(X2)
          Em    G5    A5(X8)       
there was this time in west virginia 
when the cops showed up, when the shop blowed up 
where we didn't know what was gonna happen 
they messed the whole place up and tried to kill my dad 
took all the money i had and what was really bad 
was i couldnt do nothing to stop em 
    C~ ~  D7~ ~  Em~ ~  C~ ~
had to move to mexico to get away 
you reap the seeds you sow or so they say 
i spent most my nights hanging out at a place called the rainbow bar 
    G-  D-  C-  G-  Em-  C-  D- - (X2)
drink cervezas all night long, singing mexican love songs 
getting all the words all wrong and not giving a damn 
hoping that my luck might change, feeling crazy, acting strange 
never worrying about the danger i was in 
    Em-  C-  G-  D- (X4)    C~ ~ ~ ~
well ive had a might bad run of luck since you left this town 
sometimes you hit the brakes but you cant slow down 
i know what i want on my damn tombstone when they put me in the ground
tell them to write it big and tall or not at all 
    G-  D-  Em-  C(X3)    G-  D-  G- -
just put im good now, 
im good now, 
im good now, 
oh im good now.
          Em    G5    A5(X4)
          Em    G5    A5(X8)
well as the story goes things only got worse 
fell in love with a nurse she smuggled drugs in her purse 
she worked for doctor gonzales 
well it turns out the doctor was a mighty mean man 
who couldnt understand how things could get out of hand 
i guess he's gonna find out though 
    C~ ~  D7~ ~  Em~ ~  C~ ~
he tried to stop her one night well she pulled out a knife 
there was a struggle and then he fell there in the end 
as she ran home he lay on the floor dying 
    G-  D-  C-  G-  Em-  C-  D- - (X2)
wondering about the things he'd done thinking about his life and the fun he'd had 
choices that he made and roads he had taken 
and he thought about his kids and all the crazy things he did 
and he wondered if anything at all really matters 
    Em-  C-  G-  D- (X4)    C~ ~ ~ ~
when your life is almost over and theres no hope to be found 
when your dying and the blood is spilling out over the ground 
and the last words he said, though he hardly made a sound 
and he spoke each word in spanish cause he couldnt speak no english 
    G-  D-  Em-  C(X3)    G-  D- G  
he said im good now, 
im good now, 
im good now, 
oh im good now.
