Hard To Be Humble
3/4 Time with Bass-Pluck Down Strum
Ch. Bass
G= 6
A= 5

Pluck Bass, matching chord above, then strum chord twice.

Chorus:
D
Oh lord, it's hard to be humble,
A
When you're perfect in every way,
I can't wait to look in the mirror,
D
I get better looking each day.
To know me is to love me,
G
I must be a hell of a man,
D
Oh lord it's hard to be humble,
A D
But I'm doing the best that I can.
D
I used to have a girlfriend,
A
But I guess she just couldn't compete,
With all of these love starved women,
D
Who keep clamoring at my feet.
Well I prob'ly could find me another,
G
But I guess they're all in awe of me,
D
Who cares, I never get lonesome.
A D
'Cause I treasure my own company.
Chorus:
D
Oh lord, it's hard to be humble,
A
When you're perfect in every way,
I can't wait to look in the mirror,
D
I get better looking each day.
To know me is to love me,
G
I must be a hell of a man,
D
Oh lord it's hard to be humble,
A D
But I'm doing the best that I can.
D
I guess you could say I'm a loner,
A
A cowboy outlaw tough and proud,
I could have lots of friends if I wanted,
D
But then I wouldn't stand out from the crowd.
Some folks say that I'm egotistical,
G
Hell, I don't even know what that means,
D
I guess it has something to do with the way
A D
That I fill out my skin tight blue jeans.
Chorus:
D
Oh lord, it's hard to be humble,
A
When you're perfect in every way,
I can't wait to look in the mirror,
D
I get better looking each day.
To know me is to love me,
G
I must be a hell of a man,
D
Oh lord it's hard to be humble,
A D
But we're doing the best that we can.
