Against The Grain - Garth Brooks

    G
1. Folks call me a maverick, guess I ain't too diplomatic,
        F              C           G  
I just never been the kind to go along
       G
Just avoidin' confrontation for the sake of conformation
            F             C                D
And I'll admit I tend to sing a different song.
         Em                   D            C
But sometimes you just can't be afraid to wear a different hat.
      A                                                  D
If Columbus had complied this ol' world might still be flat.
 G                         F
Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained.  
     C                   F               G
Sometimes you've got to go against the grain.

         G
2. Well, I have been accused of making my own rules
               F                  C                  G
There must be rebel blood just a-runnin' through my veins.
      G
But I ain't no hypocrite, what you see is what you get
               F            C               D
And that's the only way I know to play the game.
     Em             D            C
Old Noah took much ridicule for building his great ark
          A                                              D
But after 40 days and 40 nights, he was lookin' pretty smart
     G                                     F
Sometimes it's best to brave the wind and rain
    C                      F               G
By havin' the strength to go against the grain.


                 G                      
3. Well there's more folks than a few who share my point of view
             F                  C              G
But they're worried if they're gonna sink or swim
        G 
They'd like to buck the system, but the deck is stacked against them
               F                C           D
And they're a little scared to go out on a limb.
              Em            D                     C
But if you're gonna make a difference, if you're gonna leave your mark.
           A                                                         D
You can't follow like a bunch of sheep, you've gotta listen to your heart
 G                           F
Go bustin' in like ol' John Wayne.
     C                   F               G
Sometimes you've got to go against the grain.


 G                         F
Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained,
     C                   F              Em - G
Sometimes you've got to go against the grain.
