Rumour spreadin' a-'round in that Texas town
'bout that shack outside La Grange
and you know what I'm talkin' about.
Just let me know if you wanna go
to that home out on the range.
They gotta lotta nice girls ah.
Have mercy.
A haw, haw, haw, haw, a haw.
A haw, haw, haw.
Well, I hear it's fine if you got the time
and the ten to get yourself in.
A hmm, hmm.
And I hear it's tight most ev'ry night,
but now I might be mistaken.
hmm, hmm, hmm.
Ah have mercy.

During the first verse, keep repeating the section above between |: and :|
occasionally playing it this way to emphasize the words:
-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------
---2----2----2----2--2--2--2--2----
---2----2----2-2--2--2--2--2--2----
-----3----5----0-------------------

Then after 'They got a lot o' nice girls' comes the break. Resume playing
the same as above with heavy distortion:
----------------------|--------------------------------|

Keep repeating the part in between |: :| during the second verse, then
after 'I might be mistaken', switch to:
----------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
----------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
----------------------------|.-----8--8-10--10-------------------------.|

v ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Then, during the guitar solo, keep playing the above section between |: :|
When the solo comes to an end, this is the pattern and the break:
------------------------------------------

---------------------------------8--8-10--
----10-10--10--10--10--10-----10-8--8-10--

(I usually play the D string with my pick and the E string with
my middle finger. You can, of course, play both with your pick)
Repeat the break between |: and :| twice, then go back to the
clean part (same as the very first section). Play it 4 times,
hit the distortion, and play the same as the first verse until the fade...
