CAPO 1st Fret
[Intro]
G Dsus4/f# Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus4/F# Cadd9
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
Well we ride into town in a beat up van, got our name on the side like rock n
roll band
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
Stearin’ out a cracked windshield with one headlight
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
Got our guitars and were rearin’ to go, down to Larson City for a 3 hour show
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
If we ain’t half bad I know there gonna treat us right
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
Oh whatever made me wanna live like this, gotta get stoned just to get my fix
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
Like it or not there ain’t no turnin’ round
G Dsus4/F# Em7
LIke a fright train rollin’ out through the night got the pedal to the medal
Cadd9
honey hold on tight
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
Gypsy life I know won’t let me down
[Chorus]
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
See I was born to be a guitar picker guess I had a soft spot for the women and
liquor
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
It’s a wonder how I kept my sanity
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
I played in every bar from here to Memphis drinkin’ like Hank and singin’ like
Elvis
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
Folks out west didn’t think awhole lotta me
G Dsus4/F# Cadd9 G
Guess an Old Honky Tonkers bout all I’ll ever be
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
Well I had a little woman back in San Anton times got rough and I moved on
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
Left her cryin’ in a trailer by the county line
G Dsus4/F# Em7
So I bought a guitar and I found me a band grew out my beard became a
Cadd9
travelin’ man
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
Playin’ one night shows in any place we could find
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
County fairs and micro clubs sang about whiskey, fast women and love
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
And it’s all the same just as long as we can make a buck
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
Well we play it fast and we play it so from Mustang Sally down to Curtis Loew
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
And when the bottles fly we just smile and turn it up
[Chorus]
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
See I was born to be a guitar picker guess I had a soft spot for the women and
liquor
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
It’s a wonder how I kept my sanity
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
I played in every bar from here to Memphis drinkin’ like Hank and singin’ like
Elvis
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
Folks out west didn’t think awhole lotta me
G Dsus4/F# Cadd9 G
Guess an Old Honky Tonkers bout all I’ll ever be
[Solo]
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
Well the night is young and the beer is cold the women are sweet and my lines are
old
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
But it all comes together when we get down and start to play
G Dsus4/F#
Guess there’s somethin’ bout the sound of a Gibson flat top
Em7 Cadd9
Crankin’ out loud just pickin’ it non stop
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
Get on the floor and two step the night away
[Chorus]
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
See I was born to be a guitar picker guess I had a soft spot for the women and
liquor
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
It’s a wonder how I kept my sanity
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
I played in every bar from here to Memphis drinkin’ like Hank and singin’ like
Elvis
G Dsus4/F# Em7 Cadd9
Folks out west didn’t think awhole lotta me
G Dsus4/F# Cadd9 G
Guess an Old Honky Tonkers bout all I’ll ever be
