Take A Lot Of Pride In What I Am chords

[Cmaj7] [Am7] [Cmaj7] [Am7] [C]

Things I [Dm]learned in a hobo jungle,
[Dm]Were things they never taught [G7]me in a c[Cmaj7]lassroom[C6] ,
Like [Dm]where to find a handout,
[Dm]While thumbing through [G]Chicago in the [C]afternoon,
[C]Hey, I'm not bragging or complaining,
[C]Just talking to myself man to [F6]man[Am] , [Dm7]
[Dm7]This old mental fat I'm [G7]chewing didn't [Dm]take a lot of [G7]doing.
But I [Dm]take a lot of pride in what I[Cmaj7] am. [C6]

I guess I [Dm]grew up a loner,
I don't remember ever [G6]having [Cmaj7]any folks around[C6] .
But I keep [Dm]thumbing through the phone books,
And looking for my [Cmaj7]daddy's name in every town[C6] ,
[C6]And I meet lots of friendly people,
That I always end up leaving on the [Dm]lam,[Am] [Dm7]
Hey where I've been or where I'm [G7]going,
Didn't [Dm]take a lot of [G7]knowing,
But I [Dm]take a lot of pride in what I[Cmaj7] am. [C6]

I never [Dm]travel in a hurry,
Cause I got nobody [G6]waiting for [C]me anywhere,[C6]
Home is [Dm]anywhere I'm living,
If it's sleeping on some vacant [G7]bench in City [Cmaj7]Square,[C6]
Or if I'm [Cmaj7]working on some road gang,
[Cmaj7]Or just living off the fat of our great [F6]land[Am] , [Dm7]
I never been nobody's [G7]idol, but at [Dm]least I got a [G7]title,
And I [Dm]take a lot of pride in what I[Cmaj7] am. [C6]

I never [Dm7]been nobody's [G7]idol, but at [Dm]least I got a [G7]title,
And I [Dm]take a lot of [G7]pride in what I [Cmaj7]am, [C6]
I [Dm]take a lot of [G7]pride in what I [Cmaj7]am,
I [Dm7]take a lot of [G6]pride in what I [Cmaj7]am... [C6] [C]
