Lessons Learned by Tracy Lawrence
Written by Tracy Lawrence, Paul Nelson & Larry Boone
Transcribed by Charles Evans

Im pretty sure Tracy plays this in the key of F
I prefer to play it in G

Intro: G-Am-C-D-C-D

      G
I was ten years old the day I got caught
          Am
with some dime store candy that I never bought
C                      G
I hung my head and I faced the wall
   C                          D
as Daddy showed me wrong from right
         G
He said this hurts me more than it does you
        Am
there's some things Son that you just don't do
      C                   G
is anything I'm saying, gettin through
        C                 D
said Daddy I can see the light


Chorus
       G
oh, lessons learned, man they sure run deep
      Em
they don't go away and the don't come cheap
     C               G                         Am
oh there's no way around it, cause this world turns
D
on lessons learned


Verse 2

Grandaddy was a man I loved
he bought my first ball and glove
he even taught me how to drive his truck
circlin' that old town square

he spoke of life with a slow southern drawl
I never heard him 'cause I knew it all
but I sure listened when I got the call
that he was no longer there

Repeat Chorus
