Picture Of Me

Am G D/F#
Am F G

[Verse]
Am                       G                  D/F#
I grew up on the edge of a cornfield at the end of a long dirt road
Am                       F                      G
Carolina plow boy, ain't had a free summer since I was ten years old
Am                                 G                    D/F#
Mama made us pick our own switches so we could feel the sting of doin' wrong
F                           G
That set me straight on the road I'm still on

[Chorus]
Am
I am who I am
     C                       D
The product of a good woman loved by a real good man
Am
I've learned what I've learned
    F                       G
By finding the right way in all of my wrong turns
Am
I love what I love
        C                           D
I ain't afraid to say it ‘cause I'm damn sure man enough
F                       G            N.C       Am        F    G
That's what you need to see to get a picture of me

[Verse]
Am                                G       D/F#
I grew up on gospel ‘cause that's all my daddy'd listen to
Am                 F                         G
I found my soul in rock and roll when me and my first guitar were introduced
Am
Truth is I've only loved one woman
G                        D/F#
And she'd have stayed, but I made her leave
F                        G
She's still hauntin' me in every song I sing

[Chorus]
Am
I am who I am
     C                         D
The product of a woman still loved by a stubborn man
Am
I've learned what I've learned
     F                              G
By finding the right way in all of my wrong turns
Am
I love what I love
  C                            D
I ain't afraid to say it ‘cause I'm damn sure man enough
F                        G                       Am    F    G
That's what you need to see to get a picture of me

[Solo]
Am F  G  Am

[Chorus]
Am
Like me or leave me
G                         D/F#
Either way you'll know it the second you shake my hand
F                                G                            NC.
I'm a long way from Jesus, but I know He knows I'm doing the best I can

[Chorus]
Am
I am who I am
     C                         D
The product of the good Lord lovin' a sinful man
Am
I've learned what I've learned
   F                                G
By finding the right way in all of my wrong turns
Am
I love what I love
  C                              D
I ain't afraid to say it ‘cause I'm damn sure man enough
F                       G
That's what you need to see (That's what you need to see)
F                       G                    N.C   Am   G   F/D
That's what you need to see to get a picture of me

[Outro]
Am F G
