Well I changed my ways to  please that woman
 A                    E
But I could never be  good enough
       A                    D
Yeah, I  gave up drinkin' an'  took up churchin'
 A                  E
And for a while it  wasn't tough
 D                                      A                D
But barkeep I've made a decision after  doing the best I  could
        A                    E                A
That for  better or worse, I'm  gonna be bad for  good

[Chorus]
               D
So bring on the  whiskey
                   A
Turn up the jukebox  loud
                         D
These boots were made for  tonkin'
                  E
Warn every woman a round
                 D
I'm gonna wind it  up tonight
                       A      D
A little tighter that I  should
         A                    E                A
Yeah, for  better of worse, I'm  gonna be bad for  good

[Verse]
 A                D
I really like my  reputation
 A                     E
And how I'm known all  over town
  A                  D
Of  being the first in  my generation
 A                     E
To close every single  honky tonk down
 D
I'm gonna be a tough act to follow
 A                   D
Doin' what I said I  would
         A                    E                A
Yeah, for  better or worse, I'm  gonna be bad for  good
 
[Chorus]
               D
So bring on the  whiskey
                   A
Turn up the jukebox  loud
                         D
These boots were made for  tonkin'
                  E
Warn every woman a round
                 D
I'm gonna wind it  up tonight
                       A      D
A little tighter that I  should
         A                    E                A
Yeah, for  better of worse, I'm  gonna be bad for  good
Oh, somebody be bad

                 D
I'm gonna wind it  up tonight
                       A      D
A little tighter that I  should
         A                    E                A
Yeah, for  better of worse, I'm  gonna be bad for  good
         A                    E                A
Yeah, for  better of worse, I'm  gonna be bad for  good
