          D                A         D          A 
If you're thinking that my life is a hoot and a holler 
                      E                      E 
from the start of the day to the dark of the night 
              E              A             D          
A 
and that it's ringing like a bell that you only wanna 
follow 
      A               E                             A 
gotta trust me when I say I'm just trying to get it 
right 
        A           D 
Still I think about myself As a lucky old dreamer 
       D                                           E 
And if you're asking me to tell Is it worth what I 
paid? 
E7                                       A 
You're going to hear me say Hell Yeah It Is 

D            A               Bm                  E 
And I say it loud I loved it all and I'm not too proud 
  E        A         D      A 
I freed my soul Just let it fly 
A              E 
Hell Yeah this crazy life around me It confuses and 
confounds me 
E 
But it's all the life I've got Until I die 
E            A 
Hell yeah It Is 

          D             A          D            A 
If you're asking for my time Isn't much left to give 
you 
                        E                       E 
Been around a good long while so I gotta say it fast 
        E              A             D            A 
Time is all we'll ever need but it's gotta have a 
meaning 
       A                E                             
A 
You be careful how it's spent cause it isn't going to 
last 
           A             D 
I hear you wondering out loud are you ever going to 
make it 
         D                                     E 
Will you ever work it out Will you ever take a chance 
E7                                     A 
and Just believe you can Hell Yeah You Will 


D                   A                 Bm               
           E 
You're going to be okay You might get lost But then 
you'll find a way 
E         A          D   A 
Don't go alone Can't be afraid 
A              E 
Hell Yeah this life is here And it's made for living 
E                       E                   E          
                   
and loves a gift that's made for giving you Give it 
all away and have it still 
E                 A 
And Hell yeah you will 

          D           A           D             A 
I've been livin' in a bowl with a lot of people 
staring 
                      E                            E 
with my feet on shaky ground and my head up in the sky 
         E               A         D                   
 A 
But it's where I want to be It's a life that's made 
for caring 
        A                E                           A 
Gotta a song to pass the day And a girl to share the 
night 
           A                D 
So if they ask you when I'm gone was it everything he 
wanted 
         D                                       E 
And when he had to travel on did he know he'd be 
missed? 
E7                                    A 
You can tell them this: "Hell yeah he did" 

D         A                 Bm                E 
He saw it all He walked the line Never had to crawl 
E          A       D       A 
He cried a bit But not for long  
A            E 
Hell Yeah He found the life that he was after 
E                 E                 E 
Filled it up with love and laughter Finally gotta it 
right and made it fit 
E            A 
Hell Yeah He Did
