CAPO 1st Fret
INTO
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
