G I was feelin' important, feelin' in control C Cm G D Felt like everywhere I went, folks said, "There he goes" G C Cm I was beaming like a noon-day sun, my ducks all in a row G When all a sudden in a flash, I saw it was not so G Ain't goin' my way Em Ain't goin' my way C D G There's no denyin' thing's ain't flyin' my way G Aint goin' my way Em Aint goin' my way C D G There's no denyin' thing's ain't flyin' my way ( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/o/old_man_luedecke/aint_goin_my_way_crd.html ) G I used to walk around a lot feelin' pretty small C Cm G D People said, "You're not so bad" so I stood up tall G C Cm Then my inner Napoleon said, "You could have it all!" G I hit a curb and strained a nerve and headed for a fall Chorus G Now I am a lonely mole back in the underground C Cm G D Diggin' bigger hills and little hills cause I'm so tightly wound G C Cm Really am I all that bad takin' pennies for the pound G Cause even from the margins, lord, there comes a holy sound Chorus
