I am a massive Eric Church fan and in "The Church Choir." This is a song you will NOT FIND DAD ILY
as it was released only to the "&" Album from his 2021 release of the 3 Album "Heart & Soul" collection.

The "&" [And] album was only released to The Church Choir, but I hope this song goes viral as it might
be one of the best off of the collection.

I hope you enjoy how underrated and underappreciated my hero singer-songwriter-artist is...The Chief! #EFC

NOTE: EFC usually plays the 4 finger G chord, however one says that...so there are my notes.


[Intro]
D G D G D A

[Verse]
       G                     D            G                        A
He's a modern day Jekyll and Hyde, mixin’ pride with the cold hard facts
G                       D                     G                      A
Starin’ awful hard at a picture on a bar of a girl that he won't get back
     G                  D                     G                      A
He's talkin’ to himself knowin’ damn well his self doesn't know what now
       G                      D                      G              A
'Xcept fire shots of Jack and popping caps of Silver Bullets in his mouth

[Chorus]
       G              D
He's a mad man at the world
         G                  A
‘Cause a girl told him good-bye
    G                  D
His thumbs up has been grounded
              G                A
Now it’s that bird he loves to fly
         G             D
Might be happy hour to you
        G                  A
But his mind ain’t nowhere near there
     G          A            G            A
It’s busy goin’ crazy on the heels of her Mercedes
        G                  D                  G
Drivin’ back home north of eighty towards the badlands
           Em      G            G          D G D G D A
He’s still holdin’ on    like a mad man

[Verse]
         G             D              G                A
He ain't lookin’ for a fight but that might be what ya get
       G                    D                   G                A
If you light that fuse that looks to you like a half-smoked ciga-rette
G                         D           G               A
Just leave his glass half empty, he's better off left alone
G                    D                           G               A
Kind of like a house up the road, the lights are on but no one’s home

[Chorus]
       G              D
He's a mad man at the world
         G                  A
‘Cause a girl told him good-bye
    G                  D
His thumbs up has been grounded
              G                A
Now it’s that bird he loves to fly
         G             D
Might be happy hour to you
        G                  A
But his mind ain’t nowhere near there
     G          D            G               D
It’s busy goin’ crazy on the heels of her Mercedes
        G                  D                  G
Drivin’ back home north of eighty towards the badlands
           Em      G            G
He’s still holdin’ on    like a mad...   ...man

[Solo over Outro]
D G D G A
