Proud Souls(Chords)

	        A                  C#m 
Got drunk by myself last night 
            bm                                 A 
& they say that?no way to make things right 
					   E 
I just didn?have anything better to do 
        A			    E 
The dog was asleep on the living room rug 
 	      D				       A 
And I watched a show about a crime of drugs 
	     A			E		      A 
Punished a bottle of bourbon until it was through 
	A		C#m 
I don?care that I can?sleep 
	bm			    A 
I?just as soon stay up all week 
	     A					      E 
Might get some things done while others dream 
	  A			     E 
The heater broke and the room got cold 
	     D				A 
And my knees and ankles say I?getting older 
        A			   E		 A 
The phone finally rang but it wasn?for me 
 
Chorus: 
	  D                E            A 
If everyone should be together 
             E			bm 
I guess no one would be alone 
  E				         A 
That?a lot of tradeoffs in the end 
  E				     D 
Somewhere in the fields of heaven 
     A				     D 
Proud Souls laugh and love together 
    A			E			     A 
Some where between passion and losing friends 
 
Sleep finally came but I woke up alone 
And my head was next to the telephone 
A gave the sun a cussing as I drew the shade 
One thing that seems always true 
When I?hung over the sky is blue 
A rough night for me makes a hell of a day 
 
I believe in ghost and democracy 
And that each man should leave his legacy 
That mans work great or be it small 
But I don?believe in everything 
Like the designated hitter, or that diamond rings 
Can make love last for ever for one and all 
 
Chorus: 
 
(Repeat) Somewhere between passion and loosing friends 
 
This is how I play the song and it sounds pretty good.  These Guys are 
awesome in concert, if you ever get a change go see them.
