[B] [E]
[E]I promised you the good life and [B]all the finer things
Fancy clothes cadillacs and [E]lots of diamond rings
[E]The bible tells us that the lilies
Are the [A]best dressed of the flowers
But it's [B]hard to dress a woman on $5.15 an h[E]our
[E]This is the good life [B]singing in a bar
Playing all these songs I love
[E]Wondering where you are
[E]Smoking all these [E7]cigarrettes
And [A]drinking all this beer
[B]This is the good life
So sad you weren't [E]here
SOLO
[E]Now you say that you don't love me
And [B]honey that's alright
Cause I've got lots of better things that [E]I can do tonight
Like wondering what became of all the s[A]tars of yester year
As I [B]watched the angels dancing in the bubbles in my [E]beer
[E]This is the good life [B]singing in a bar
Playing all these songs I love
[E]Wondering where you are
[E]Smoking all these [E7]cigarrettes
And [A]drinking all this beer
[B]This is the good life
So sad you weren't [E]here
