Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
  Got  me a rocker without no arms
  Ol' wood stove to keep me warm
  My firewood out of the rain
  I sit and watch the seasons change
  There's  a woman in Little Rock
  Got plenty of money down in her sock
  She come to see me time to time
  We sit on the porch and drink our wine
  A man  ought to know when  he's got it all
  Holding  it down up  in Arkansas
  Coyotes  howl in the night
  The rats ate my food but that's alright
  They must have needed it more than me
  Ain't no sweat i'll eat their cheese
  Way  back in the woods a hoot-owl  calls
  Making  his rounds up  in Arkansas
  The  eagle flies wild and free
  Catches fish down in my creek
  I watch him rise on the breeze
  I don't bother him he don't bother me
  Walmart moves into town
  Progress can't keep it down
  Tourists come from miles around
  I sit on the porch,the sun goes down
  But i  live way back from  it all
  Doing  alright up  in Arkansas

Readable chord sheet for Up In Arkansas by Waylon Jennings

Go[E]t me a rocker without no arms

        Ol' wood stove to keep me warm

        My firewood out of the rain

        I sit and watch the seasons change

        Th[E]ere's a woman in Little Rock

        Got plenty of money down in her sock

        She come to see me time to time

        We sit on the porch and drink our wine

        A man[A] ought to know when[E] he's got it all
        Hol[A]ding it down [E]up in Arkansas

        Co[E]yotes howl in the night

        The rats ate my food but that's alright

        They must have needed it more than me

        Ain't no sweat i'll eat their cheese

        Wa[A]y back in the woods a [E]hoot-owl calls
        Mak[A]ing his rounds [E]up in Arkansas

        T[E]he eagle flies wild and free

        Catches fish down in my creek

        I watch him rise on the breeze

        I don't bother him he don't bother me

        Walmart moves into town

        Progress can't keep it down

        Tourists come from miles around

        I sit on the porch,the sun goes down

        But i[A] live way back f[E]rom it all
        Doi[A]ng alright [E]up in Arkansas
