Chords for Tennessee Ernie Ford & Charles Laughton do "Old Rattler"

_ _ [Bb] Charles, that was wonderful. _
Charming thing.
You know, you seem to fit so well everywhere, you know?
I was going to do a little song right here, but I was wondering _ if you would do one with me.
I was hoping you'd say that, Eddie.
I just love those country songs.
I've been studying up on them.
You know, I like that country beat.
Do you?
Yeah.
Hey! _ _
You train!
Hyah!
Hyah!
Get along, you [N] slovenly beasts!
Hyah!
Hyah!
Hyah!

That's wonderful, Mr.
Lawton, but I kind of thought we might do something a little quieter,
like Old Rattler.
Old Rattler?
You remember it!
Old Rattler.
Bring us a stew.
[Cm] Tell it!
All right!
All right! _
_ [F] All right!
All right! _
_ _ This is a classic.
Oh, yes.
Old Rattler was a good old dog, blind as [C] he could be.
Every night at [C] supper time, I believed that dog could see.
[F] Here, Rattler!
Here!
Here!
Here, [C] Rattler!
Here!
Old Rattler from the barn, here, Rattler, here!
[F] Here, Rattler! _ _ _ _
_ Grandma had a [C] yellow hen, we set her as you know.
We set her on three buzzards' eggs, she hatched out one old crow.
[F] _ Here, Rattler!
Here!
Here!
[C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
Happy birthday!
_ _ _ You got a country whistler, too, you know that?
This man's an amazing man.
I was born in the country.
I'll tell you, it's beginning to show more and more. _ _
_ Ready, Harry?
Yeah.
One night, I saw a big fat coon [C] climb up in a tree.
I called Old Rattler right away to get him down for me.
[F] But Rattler wouldn't do it, because [C] he liked that coon.
I saw them walkin', pawin', pawin', later by the light of the moon.
[F] I hear Rattler, [C] Help!
Help!
I hear Rattler, Help!
_ Call the Rattler from the barn!
I hear [E] Rattler, Help!
Help!
Help!
Help!
Help!
Call the Rattler from the barn!
