A Promise To Distinction Chords

(ver. 1)
Swingin Utters
One of my favorite songs that I've been playing for years but have never seen a tab for 
on the internet...

When I post this tab, the chords don't line up with the words anymore, and quite frankly 
I'm not going to f**k around with it and fix it.  you can figure it out.

This tab isn't perfect but I was hoping to just throw it up and see if people add to it.

INTRO

C   D   G    C   D   G C G

G
Once I was younger than
          C                           G
The youngest of fragile minds
                                   C
I ate the day with bad manners
                             G
Then spit out the rind

        Em                     G
And mother, mother told me
     Em                      D
As I looked to the sky
Em                      G                  C             D
Yes my mother told me, "my dear son,
                          G
You're not the one"


G                       C                   G
I flew home when I was just 21
                                        C                   G
Young enough to be the father of someone
                   C                                      G
I've got a conch p**sed with conch republic rum

My father by my side, teary-eyed, he said:

Em            G              C                 D
"Son, by God, what I could have done,
Em              G
And you're just like me
                  C                    D
You can, really put 'em down
C             D                    G
If I was in your place, I'd stay, have fun"
C         D                      G
               But I'm not the one

G                       C
Now I'm sittin' here
                         G
Haggling over sums
                              C
Money made by someone else
    G                     C
To me, it don't belong
G                           C
I toss a smile to the mighty boss
G              C
He's my God
G                  C
But I'm a bit backwards
        G                            C
And I know he's just a f**kin' dog

Em                             G
And mother, mother told me,
Em                        D
As I looked to the sky
Em           G                  C                  D
Yes my mother told me my dear son
                          G         C
"You're not the one"
                        G          C
"you're not the one"
                      G           C
You're not the one"
                       G            C
You're not the one"
