Hellcat by Kevin Gordon
Hellcat
Tuning: E A D G B E
Odd tuning here. Sharp by about a quarter step. You'll get a feeling when you play along.
The break riff (marked just by G#) usually alternates between B5 G#5 and F#5 G#5. You'll hear it.
Couldn't find the lyrics anywhere. Any help is appreciated.
[Intro]
G#5 B5 C#5 B5 G#5
G#5
[Verse]
G#5 B5 C#5 G#5 B5 G#5
He come from east Texas in a beat up Ford
G#5 B5 C#5 G#5 B5 G#5
Twelve gauge on the backseat, flask on the floor
G#5 B5 C#5 G#5 B5 G#5
Rolling in the street for big city lives
G#5 B5 C#5 G#5 B5 G#5
Don't a rebelling mind wanna get real time
G#5 B5 C#5 G#5 B5 G#5
Got a job working for the Red Ball freight
G#5 B5 C#5 G#5 B5 G#5
I'm a rotten twenty one days off the rail
G#5 B5 C#5 G#5 B5 G#5
Met a woman working on the dispatch line
G#5 B5 C#5 G#5 B5 G#5
Not much longer took her for his bride
[Chorus]
D#5
Said "My daddy was a hellcat, son"
B5 C#5
He would bring the devil on the run
D#5 B5
Laid him in the ground before I grew up
C#5
Oh what have I done
[Break]
G#5 B5 C#5 B5 G#5 (x2)
G#5
[Verse]
G#5 B5 C#5 G#5 B5 G#5
Not much longer six kids came along
G#5 B5 C#5 G#5 B5 G#5
And a rebellin' mind started rebellin' wrong
G#5 B5 C#5 G#5 B5 G#5
Downtown drinking hard, out late night
G#5 B5 C#5 G#5 B5 G#5
Wandering the halls of his house all night
[Chorus]
D#5
Said "My daddy was a hellcat, son"
B5 C#5
He would bring the devil on the run
D#5 B5
Laid him in the ground before I grew up
C#5
Oh what have I done
[Break]
G#5 B5 C#5 B5 G#5 (x2)
G#5
[Verse]
G#5 B5 C#5 G#5 B5 G#5
He made a ???? on Easter weekend
G#5 B5 C#5 G#5 B5 G#5
His wife and kids would never fear him again
G#5 B5 C#5 G#5 B5 G#5
In a roadhouse talkin' loud, talkin' tough
G#5 B5 C#5 G#5 B5 G#5
Soon Bobby Lee and John had enough
G#5 B5 C#5 G#5 B5 G#5
Started pushin' and a-shovin' and a-took him outside
G#5 B5 C#5 G#5 B5 G#5
In the gravel and the glow of the neon light
G#5 B5 C#5 G#5 B5 G#5
When a man took a lead pipe to his head
G#5 B5 C#5 G#5 B5 G#5
Knocked that old hellcat dead
[Chorus]
D#5
Said "My daddy was a hellcat, son"
B5 C#5
He would bring the devil on the run
D#5 B5
Laid him in the ground before I grew up
C#5
Oh what have I done
[Outro]
G#5 B5 C#5 B5 G#5
G#5
