Guy Clark - Stuff That Works Chords

Stuff That Works
Guy Clark

 C
I got an ol’ blue shirt 
    F                C
And it suits me just fine 
C
I like the way it feels 
     F
So I wear it all the time 
C
I got an old guitar 
        F
It won’t ever stay in tune 
C
I like the way it sounds 
    G              C
In a dark and empty room 

I got an ol’ pair of boots 
And they fit just right 
I can work all day 
And I can dance all night 
I got an ol’ used car 
And it runs just like a top 
I get the feelin’ it ain’t 
Ever gonna stop 

Chorus:
C          F                 C
Stuff that works, stuff that holds up 
C                     G                C
The kind of stuff you don’t hang on the wall 
C           F               C
Stuff that’s real, stuff you feel 
    C                 G                 C
The kind of stuff you reach for when you fall 

I got a pretty good friend 
Who’s seen me at my worst 
He can’t tell if I’m a blessing 
Or a curse 
But he always shows up 
When the chips are down 
That’s the kind of stuff 
I like to be around 

Chorus 

I got a woman I love 
She’s crazy and paints like God 
She’s got a playground sense of justice 
She won’t take odds 
I got a tattoo with her name 
Right through my soul 
I think everything she touches 
Turns to gold 

Chorus
