Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 W. Nelson):
  You  call us heathens with zero  respect for the law
  We are only songwriters just writing our songs and that's all
  We write  what we live and we live  what we write is that wrong
  If you think it is Mr. Music Executive
  Why  don't you write your own songs
 W. Nelson):
   And don't listen to mine,they  might run you crazy
  They might make you dwell on your feelings a moment too long
  We're making you rich  and you're already lazy
  So just lay on your ass and get richer  or write your own songs
 W. Jennings):
  Mr.  Purified Country don't you know  what the whole things about
  Is your head up your ass so far that you can't pull it out
  The world's  getting smaller and everyone  in it belongs
  And if you can't see that Mr. Purified Country
  Why  don't you just write your own songs
 Chorus.
  So just lay on your ass and get richer  or write your own songs
