Artist: Jimmy Buffett Tabs/Chords
Song: Were You Born An Asshole
D
Well I was drivin' down I-95 the other night.
G
Somebody nearly cut me right off the road.
A
I decided it wasn't gonna do any good to get mad.
G                           D
So I wrote a song about him instead.
It goes like this...
D
Were you born an asshole?
G
Or did you work at it your whole life?
A
Either way it worked out fine
G                           D
'cause you're an asshole tonight.
D
Yes you're an A S S H O L E...
G
And don't you try to blame it on me.
A
You deserve all the credit.
G                    D
You're an asshole tonight.
D
You were an asshole yesterday.
G
You're an asshole tonight.
A
And I've got a feelin'
G                                     D
you'll be an asshole the rest of your life.
D
And I was talkin' to your mother
G
just the other night.
A
I told her I thought you were an asshole.
G                               D
She said, "Yes. I think you're right."
D
And all your friends are assholes
G
'cause you've known them your whole life.
A
And somebody told me
G                           D
you've got an asshole for a wife.
D
Were you born an asshole?
G
Or did you work at it your whole life?
A
Either way it worked out fine
G                          A7    D
'cause you're an aaaass...hole tonight.
