[Verse]
C# G#
i paid my dues and i done my time
A#m F# C#
had my fair share of women that aint no lie
C# G#
travelled clear across the country just to get away
A#m F# C#
with a dollor in my pocket at the end of the day
[Chorus]
C# G#
and i toss my coin into a wishing well
A#m F# C#
guess i paid god just to burn in hell
C# G#
if it dont kill you, it'll keep you strong
A#m F# C#
theres only one way to learn right from wrong,
C# G#
just keep your chin up and hold yer head up high
A#m F# C#
dont let an opportunity pass you on by
C# G#
take a deep breath of the cool night air
A#m F# C#
to feel the roaring of the engines and the wind in your hair
C# G# A#m F# C#
in your hair in your hair in your hair ,in your hair
[Verse]
C# G#
put a price on freedom baby it aint cheap
A#m F# C#
i hitchen outa town and on a train i leap
C# G#
I'm gunna catch my dinner on the end of my line
A#m F# C#
and wash it all down with a bottle of wine
C# G#
then i met a woman that aint even the start
A#m F# C#
well she must of been a thief because she stole my heart
C# G#
so i carved her out a ring and asked if she'd be mine
A#m F# C#
she replied with a kiss and then she tossed me a dime
[Chorus]
C# G#
and i toss my coin into a wishing well
A#m F# C#
guess i paid god just to burn in hell
C# G#
if it dont kill you, it'll keep you strong
A#m F# C#
theres only one way to learn right from wrong,
C# G#
just keep your chin up and hold yer head up high
A#m F# C#
dont let an opportunity pass you on by
C# G#
take a deep breath of the cool night air
A#m F# C#
to feel the roaring of the engines and the wind in your hair
C# G# A#m F# C#
in your hair in your hair in your hair ,in your hair
