_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Hey, uh, _ _ _ _ _ let me ask y'all a question.
_ Is it alright if I sit up here and play you a few songs with just me and my guitar? _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Awesome. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ By the way, how the hell [C#] are y'all tonight?
Man, I haven't really said [N] that much, have I?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ No, I haven't said that much.
_ That's something I've been working on lately is _ _ _ not _ talking so much when I get on stage
because normally by the end of the night _ _ I will have said something that I really regret. _ _
_ And, uh, _ _ I know I've been here once before a few years back and, uh, _ _ [F] and I know now that
it's been many years because I probably said something horribly offensive back [N] then, so
thank you for giving me a second chance because my mouth, _ my initials are BS. _ _ _ _ _ _
So, _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I still say that's better than having Buck Owens _ _ [D#] initials. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] Or Buddy Jewell.
[D] _
_ _ _ I _ _ _ _ _ mean, that one sucks right [N] there, you know. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Probably another ten years before that. _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] And I'll tell you one thing [Dm] that, uh, _ _ I know about Ohio, and that's not very much, but
_ _ _ _ One [Fm] thing I do know, [F] because I don't know if y'all, I'm a _ _ _ redneck, y'all, [G] and, uh, so
I'll _ _ [B] be _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
real honest with you, I can't tell you a damn thing about your [G] heritage and all
that stuff, but I know y'all got some big deer [F] _ in this area. _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
So, _ _ [D] _ _ and [F] I look out in this crowd and I see a lot of, if you come out to [C] see me, you gotta
be a freakin' redneck and you gotta be, _ [D] _ so, uh. _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F]
So let's do a song for people like us here [D] tonight, man. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [A] The preacher man says it's the end of time, _ [G] Mississippi River, she's a-pouring [D] _ dry. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ The agency's up and the stock market's down, and [D] you're only getting mugged if you go downtown. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ I live back in the woods, you see, a woman and the kids and the dogs [D] and me. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ Got a shotgun, a rifle, and a four [D]-wheel drive, and the country boy [A] can survive, _
_ _ [G] _ even
as the train [D] goes _ by. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ Rock and [D] plow field all day long, [G] I can catch _ catfish from dusk [D] till dawn.
_ _ _ _ Go on, Tiger. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ Make her own whiskey [A] and her own smoke too, ain't [G] too many things these old boys [D] can't
_ do. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ No good [A] old [G] tomatoes and homemade wine, and the country [D] boy can't _ survive.
_ _ _ [G] Country boys can't [D] _ survive. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Yeah, [G] because you can't stop us now, and you [Am] can't make us run, [C] with them old [G] boys raised on _ shotguns. _ _ _ _
Well, we say _ [F] grace, we [Dm] say mam, if you ain't into [G]
that, we don't give a damn. _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _
_ [D] Came from the West Virginia coal [Dm] mines and the Rocky _ Mountains [D] and the western _ sky. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
Man and wicked _ _ schnappuck and a [Dm] run-a-tron vibe, and the country boy can't [D] survive. _ _ _ _
Country [Gm] boys can't [D] survive. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ I had a good friend in New York City, _ [G] never called me by my name, just [D] _ Hillbilly. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [D] _
My [A] grandpa taught me how [D] to live off the land, he taught him to be a _ [F] _ [D] businessman. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ He [A] used to send me pictures [G] of the Broadway [D] nights, _ I'd send him some of my homemade wine.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [D] _ But he was [A] killed by a man [C] with a _ [D] switchblade knife, for $43 my friend [F]
lost [D] his life. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Here's my favorite part, y'all. _ _ _ _
I'd love to spit some [G] beats, numb that dude's eyes, I'd shoot him with [D] my _ .45,
_ [G] cause the country boy can't [D] survive.
_ _ _ [G] _
Country boys can't [D] survive. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Yeah, [G] because you can't stop us now, and you [F] can't make us run, [C] with them old boys [G] raised on shotguns. _ _
Well, _ _ _ we say _ [F] grace, we say ma'am, [C] if you ain't into [G] that, we don't give a damn.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [D] _ We're from North _ California, South _ _ [Gm] Alabama, little towns all around [D]
this land. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [D] Man and wicked _ schnappuck, [A] run-a [D]-tron vibe, and the country [C] boy can't [A] survive. _
