I picked the chords up from their performance of this Live From The Deer Den,
You’ll notice that on the C chord of the instrumental part, he moves his 4th finger between 3rd fret on the A
to 3rd Fret on the E to pad out the bass notes and give it a more country vibe. It’s pretty simple to do
and helps if you‘re playing this song solo.

[Verse 1]
Coulda been an Castronaut
Coulda been a fGireman
Coulda built an Amempire
Out of my Flemonade stand
Coulda been an CAthlete
Passing on eGighty-eight
Running Amround the track
On time and I’d Fnever be late
[Chorus]
GEver since my mom and dad
Gave Fme my first guitar
CI could only dream about
The GHonky Tonks and Bars
AmNever bet first pick you wouldn’t
FCall me a ringer, but

[Verse]
Maybe shoulda been a Cbanker
Maybe shoulda Gfinished school
Maybe shoulda Amlistened up
Instead of drinking and Fplaying pool
Coulda been a Clawyer
In a high Gprofile case
Put another Amguilty man
In his rFightful place
[Chorus]
From Gdusty old town roads
To Fcities oh so far
Cheap Cmotel rooms and playing tunes
In GHonky Tonks and Bars

I picked the chords up from their performance of this Live From The Deer Den,

You’ll notice that on the C chord of the instrumental part, he moves his 4th finger between 3rd fret on the A

to 3rd Fret on the E to pad out the bass notes and give it a more country vibe. It’s pretty simple to do

[Intro]

C G Am F

[Verse 1]

Coulda been an astronaut

Coulda been a fireman

Coulda built an empire

Out of my lemonade stand

Coulda been an Athlete

Passing on eighty-eight

Running round the track

On time and I’d never be late

[Chorus]

Ever since my mom and dad

Gave me my first guitar

I could only dream about

The Honky Tonks and Bars

Never bet first pick you wouldn’t

Call me a ringer, but

Hallelujah I’m a

Country singer.

[Verse]

Maybe shoulda been a banker

Maybe shoulda finished school

Maybe shoulda listened up

Instead of drinking and playing pool

Coulda been a lawyer

In a high profile case

Put another guilty man

In his rightful place

[Chorus]

From dusty old town roads

To cities oh so far

Cheap motel rooms and playing tunes

In Honky Tonks and Bars

I never thought that life could be as

Calloused as my fingers but,

Hallelujah I’m a

Country singer.

[Instrumental]

[Verse]

Coulda been an astronaut

[Chorus]

From dusty old town roads

To cities oh so far

Cheap motel rooms and playing tunes

In Honky Tonks and Bars

I never thought that life could be as

Calloused as my fingers but,

Hallelujah I’m a

Country singer.
