      If You're Gonna Be Dumb 






Tuning:Standard


[Intro]

G|G|C|D|G

                                      C
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
D                                           G
When you get knocked down you gotta get back up

I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer
C
BUt I know enough to know
D                                    G
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
                            C
I lit my Brain with rot-gut whiskey
D                         G
Till my pain was chicken fried
                            C
And I had dudes with badges frisk me
D                           G
And teach me how to swallow pride
                            C 
I took advice no fool would take
D                         G
I got some habits I can't shake

I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer
C
But I know enough to know
D                                    G
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
                                     C
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
D                                            G                          
When you get knocked down you gotta get back up
                                    C
That's the way it is with life and love
D                                    G
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough

G                                  C
I've been up and down and down and out
D                            G                          
I've been left and right and wrong
                                C       
Well I walk the walk and run my mouth
D                               G
Been on that short end for too long
                                        C
Well if they gave medals for honky-tonk wars
D                                  G
Hell I'd keep mine in my chest of drawers
                                         C
With my IRS bills and divorce papers and all that stuff
D                                         G
Hell If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
                                     C
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
D                                          G
When you get knocked down you gotta get back up
                                    
I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer
C
BUt I know enough to know
D                                    G
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
D                                    G  
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
