1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
I've witnessed_ those one night stands
Must have played in a thousand bands_
But I'm just here tonight, tomorrow I'll be gone_____
Seen folks show___ their blacker sides
Seen them die just for foolish pride_
And those drivers always ask to hear that same old song___
That's a big ten-four
From your back door
Just put that hammer down_
This young man feels___
Those eighteen wheels_
That keep turning 'round to take me down to Shak-y Town___
Just repeat the verse chords, but if you're playing this alone, then just
go right into the next verse.
I've heard all___ those hard luck tales
From all of you U.S. males_
I've heard you tell those lies about the love you've known_____
And I've followed___ those highway signs
And I've run down those thin white lines_
Like those drivers this old road is all I call my own___
That's a big ten-four
From your back door
Just put that hammer down_
This young man feels___
Those eighteen wheels_
That keep turning 'round to take me down to Shak-y Town___
All the way down to Shak-y Town___
(Repeat the outro a total of 4 times.)
End on G and let ring.
-I hope you enjoy; my little droogies.
