Rugged Country Ukulele tab

	  verse 1 
E   B     G#m          C#m 
6 6 6 sixteen-year-old kids 
E                   B 
huddled around the grocery lot 
    E              B            G#m               C#m 
"He punched out my teeth" so you said, so did the evidence 
    E             B           C#m                G#m 
The blood and the dent on the car door from your head 


verse 2 
    E 
And this is where I bring you 
     B                       A 
With every laurel I've hung from your neck 
        E 
It will be the noose that hangs you 
            E 
Yes it will be the noose that hangs you 


Pre-Chorus 
            B                    G#m 
Cause I was lonely here and its lonely still 
        C#m                       E 
In the rugged country where the weeds grow fierce 
        B                    G#m 
Quicker than the crop I keep running from 
        C#m 
In this rugged country 


Chorus 
         E 
I'm the rugged one 
         B 
I'm the rugged one 
         G#m 
I'm the rugged one 
         C#m 
I'm the rugged one 


verse 3 
 E 
And this is where we lost you 
        B               A 
Despite every effort to bring you back 
          E 
Yeah, the hopes the one that haunts you 
        B                             A 
And the home's the rope thats wrapped around your neck 
            E 
And it will be the noose that hangs you 
            E 
Yes it will be the noose that hangs you 


Pre-Chorus 
           B                  G#m 
And it's a heavy hand where I wear your death 
     C#m                 E 
As a wedding ring in the rugged country 
       B                  G#m 
I tend to your man in the home you had 
      C#m 
Oh in this rugged country 


Chorus 
         E 
I'm the rugged one 
         B 
I'm the rugged one 
         G#m 
I'm the rugged one 
         C#m           E 
I'm the rugged one
