Verse 1

C

Me and

my buddy

got us a

wild hair And

F

figured we

wanted to

go somewhere

So we

G

loaded up

in

my ragtop

C

Chevrolet

We had a

little bit of

money and a

whole lot of show

And with

F

Hank Junior

blaring on

the radio

We got a

G

tank full

of gas

and we was

C

on our way

We figured

we'd go

down to New Orleans

We were

F

barrelling' down

old 17

When a

G

man with

a blinking

red light was on

C

our tail

He said,

"You

were doin' 60

in a 45

But

F

I'm gonna

let you

go this time

But if I

G

catch you

again, I'm

gonna slap you

C

in the county jail"

Verse 2

We said,

C

"Thank you

sir, you

sure been

nice And

F

you ain't

gonna have

to tell us twice"

And we were

G

Southbound and

down with

the wind

blowing in our

C

faces

We

kept on

rolling and

pretty soon

The

F

radio was

cooking out a haggard

tune

And we were

G

pulling into

Houston and

checking out

C

all the places

I was

feeling dry and

I said, "I

think

We ought to

F

stop and get

ourselves a drink"

Old Jim

G

said, "Yeah

'cause we

got time

C

to kill"

We

kept on rolling

and I seen this

spot

We

F

pulled into

the parking lot

Of this place called,

G

'The Cloud

Nine Bar

C

and Grill'

Verse 3

We

C

walked through

the door and

the place was jammed

The

F

lights were low,

they had a punk

rock band

And some

G

orange haired feller

singing

about

C

suicide

I said,

"Jim, this

ain't our

kind of place

He said,

F

"Well, let's

just have one

round anyway"

So against

G

my

better judgment

we walked

C

on inside

Went up

to the

bar and we sat

down

This feller

F

walked up

and said, "I'll

buy this round"

And he

G

sat down

on the barstool

C

next to Jim

He

looked like

a girl but

he talked like

a guy He had

F

lipstick on

and mascara in his

eyes

And

G

everybody in

that place

looked just about like

C

him

Verse 4

I said,

C

"Jim, this

ain't our

kind of bar

Let's just

F

go on

out and get back

in the car

'Cause

G

there's gonna be

trouble, ain't

no sense in

C

taking a chance"

We was

getting up,

getting ready

to leave

When some

F

body grabbed old

Jim by

the sleeve

And this

G

good looking

girl, she

was asking

C

my buddy to dance

I said,

"Jim, don't

do it,

there's something missing

There's

F

fellers dancing

and fellers kissing

There's a

G

feller in

high heeled

shoes wearing

C

panty hose"

He said,

"Partner, I

just can't turn

this down

You just go

F

over

there and have

one more round

I'll

G

dance with

the lady and

we'll get on

C

down the road"

Verse 5

So he

C

walked away

and left

me alone

But this

F

funny looking

feller kept

coming on

And he was

G

making me mad

with

some of

C

the things he said

Then he put

his hand

on my knee

I said, "If

F

you don't

get your

paw off me

I'm gonna

G

locate your

nose around

the other side of

your

C

head"

He said, "I

love it

when you

get that

fire in your eye

F

I

said, "Well,

partner try

this on for size"

G

And

I unloaded on him

and he

went out like a

C

light

Everybody

in that

place must

have been

his friend They all

F

headed for

me, I

said, "This is the

end" But where

G

I come

from, we

don't give up

without a

C

fight

Verse 6

They were screaming

C

and yelling

and scratching and

clawing

I was

F

punching and

hitting and kicking

and pawing

I was

G

holding my

own, 'cause

I've been

in a scrap or

C

two

Old

Jim come

running up

out of the

blue And that

F

gal he was

with, come

running up too

And

G

proceeded to

beat on me

with a

C

high heel shoe

I grabbed

her by

the hair it

came off in my

hand And that beautiful

F

girl was

just

a beautiful man

And old

G

Jim just

got sick right

there on

C

the floor

He dropped

that dude

like a shot

from a gun

Smeared

F

his

lipstick, made

his makeup run

And

G

me and old

Jim started fighting

our way

C

to the door

A

Verse 7

Man, we lit out

D

of there

in that

Chevrolet

I

G

put in

on the floor

and it stayed

that way We was

A

going' down

the highway

doing about

a hundred and

D

ten

We were

headed for

home and

nearer Then a

blame cop

was pulling

us over
