"Lovin' Makes Livin' Worthwhile"   by Jerry Jeff Walker


All chords are for capo at the *2nd* fret. 


Intro:  G strummed, with the following bass notes.


The "bass" line for the intro is pretty much this:

E  3
A        2  
D    2 0           NB: these are WITH the capo on.
G
B
e


VERSE:

 G              
I'm just sitting here counting my money
 C
Wondering why I'm in love with you honey
      G               Em                   D*
and why everybody is so high strung these days
  G
Price of living here has gone sky high
     C
but guys like me we're always getting by
 G                     D                  G
Babe told me, "A lean dog can run a long race."


CHORUS:

C                  G
All I know is you gotta keep trying
     D                           Em         D
You gotta laugh now and then to keep from crying 
    C                   G         Em                           
The only sure thing is taxes and dying  (taxes!)
          G               D             G
And your lovin makes the living worth while


VERSE:
Somedays I'm more gone in here
Somedays I like to just sit and drink beer.
And somedays I can't wait until I get home
All I like to d is play music and golf
The money I make pays the IRS off
Without you, Susan, I'd simply be a rolling stone


CHROUS


BRIDGE:

Em                        D
Ooh without you I'd have no one to sleep with (++)
Em                            D
Nobody to laugh with late at night  (++)
Em                         D
Without you there'd be no light in the window
 Am7           C          D*
There'd be no reason to write.


SOLO  (over chords of verse)


CHORUS


Well I've been sued and screwed and tatooed.
But I"m standing right here in front of you
Telling you that even the best of 'em make a mistake
We're all livin' life day to day
The whole damn world's just feeling it's way
But you can tell them ol' Jerry Jeff said it's OK (ok, ok!)


CHORUS

Makes ya smile, hoo, hoo, hoo...



* a descending bass line fits well here, so it would be like:


E
A     3  2  0
D  0                Pick the bass note, then strum.  It fits well
G                   in many songs.  Again these are WITH the capo on.
B
e



++ This can be played after these words are sung to lead to the Em:


E  3             0
A    2  0  3  0
D                    Again, notes are with the capo on.
G
B
e
