    Standard tuning, no Capo

    Verses G G7 C/G / D G D / G G7 C/G / D G
    Interludes G G7 C/G D G / G G7 C/G D G

    [Intro]
    [Verse 1]
    Sometimes I'd ramble, I get drunk and gamble
    Ain't nobody's business what I do
    Nobody's business, nobody's dirty business
    Ain't nobody's business what I do
    [Interlude]
    [Verse 2]
    Ask where my money goes to buy my baby's clothes
    Ain't nobody's business what I do
    Nobody's business, ain't nobody's dirty business
    Ain't nobody's business what I do
    [Interlude]
    [Verse 3]
    She'd drive a Cadillac while I walk the railroad tracks
    Ain't nobody's business what I do
    She drives a limousine but I buy the gasoline
    Ain't nobody's business what I do
    Nobody's business, nobody's business
    Ain't nobody's business what I do
    Nobody's business, ain't nobody's dirty business
    Ain't nobody's business what I do
    [Interlude]
    [Verse 4]
    Well one more beer and three more shots, I'm going home and she's still my wife
    Ain't nobody's business what I do
    I said one of these days I'mma wake up crazy, gonna shoot my wife and take my baby
    Ain't nobody's business what I do
    Nobody's business, nobody's business

    This is one of the most talented young men I've ever heard. He absolutely owns that guitar and couldn't be any quicker of a picker. The first time I saw him, I thought to myself now if this guy can keep his liquor and drug use under control he's really going places. I'm wondering if he was born with a guitar in hand. If not then he had music in him since birth. He's definitely a winner.

      Yes Ive researched this and have followed him as long as I can remember .Him and his father played together all the time when he was a youngster. I learned a lot from my Dad about Ham radio, but I'll never be the guy he was. He built his own radio from a kit in 63. Then he had free rain of Mather Air Force Bases surplus radio parts. He and I built him a Ham shack in the garage and he was able to talk to anyone around the world. But they call these smartphones and there no smarter than the person behind it.
