I gotta get my ass out
Am
I went to see what my friend was talking about
Drugs
D
He told me cocaine would get you clout
F
My momma said he's trouble and schools my route
Am
But I went to high school and got kicked out
Am
So I'm driving this truck down the 95
D
I pray to God I make it home alive
F
I don't get pulled over by the man
Am
I just want to make it home to hold your hand
[Chorus]
Am
Goodbye beloved one
D
Do you know what I am
If you don't see my face no more

I'm a provider girl, gotta face the streets tonight

Dm G
Someday, Someday, this will be over

We'll raise a family
Dm
I'll get a job and I'll be a voter
Dm
And if I die (no no no)
G
It will change you

I watch over a family

D
When you're looking at a mother*er just like me
F Am
I'm a rider girl
it doesnt fit properly on the page but if u listen to it it would make sense
no?!
still needing help!
Just let me start out by saying theres no way we can figure out a song with just a freehand typed semi staff mediocre compilation of the artists original works.
So you want to play it right?
write down the chords for each section practice playing them at different rythms, and then listen to the original recording, over and over again. Copy it exactly beat by beat if you have to.
It will come together.
None of us here can just tell you what to do. You have to feel and you have to know.

Write the lyrics on a piece of paper. Then listen to the song, and every time you hear a chord change make a mark on the sheet where the words are. You already have the chords and you know when they change, so get started on the actual rhythm of the song.
Get the rhythm in your head any way you can. Tap it out on your desk with a pencil or something similar. Record yourself going "dah-danana da daaa" or whatever in a tape recorder or on your computer. Don't just say what I put in quotation marks, you have to say the rhythm. If you've seen Beavis and Butthead before you know what I'm talking about.
Once you know the rhythm and the chords, you just need the melody. I'm no singer by any stretch of the imagination so we'll skip this part. If you know your scales (major and minor) it should be fairly easy to work out - I'm guessing the melody's mainly in A natural minor but that D might throw things off a bit (it could be from the melodic minor or the parallel major). You may have to do a bit of experimenting. The bridge progression is pretty much the same, only up a fourth (5 frets). Again, you'll have to experiment a bit.
I haven't actually heard the song, so I can't really help you beyond that.
