Intro
Finally (A) got that prom(D)otion I (E) worked hard to (A) get
The one that came with a (D) company (E) car
When they (A) gave me the (D) keys
They said, (E) "son you can (A) bet
Keep it up and you'll (D) really go (A) far"
But what good is all that (E) knowin'
The best (A) thing that I had (E) goin' is go(D)ne
My good (A) friends come a(D)round, to hang (E) out now and (A) then
And they joke, "Man, you (D) sure got it (E) hard
With this (A) house on the (D) hill
And a (E) white picket (A) fence
And the grass sure is (D) green in the (A) yard
But what good is all that (E) knowin'
The best (A) thing that I had (E) goin' is (D) gone
Solo
Well I (A) squandered my (D) time tryin' to (E) buy her every(A)thing
Gave her all that I (D) thought she deser(E)ved
Now I (A) know all the (D) things
That she (E) wanted were (A) free
And I shoulda been (D) home holdin' (A) her
But what good is all that (E) knowin'
The best (A) thing that I had (E) goin' is (D) gone
Is gone...
