Bobby Bare – Rest Awhile (Guitar)

     E                A
Does anyone know of a girl who might like

  B                  E
A tired old boy on a rusty old bike

         E                        A
Who just pulled in today from the Florida Glades

    B                                    E
And just got to stop and rest awhile and rest awhile

     E                  A
Does anyone know of someone who can use

  B                           E
A hard working fool who don't ever touch booze

           E         A
Who's only vice is a roll of a dice

    B                                         E
And he's just got to stop and rest awhile and rest awhile

A                 E
Easy there lady I don't want no trouble

     B                    E
I'll pay for my chili and leave

A                 E
Easy there mister I got the money

    F#                            B
And if I was you I'd let go of my sleeve

     E                A
Does anyone know of a place I can sleep

      B                           E
Where I won't hear the cry of the wind as she weeps

      E                           A
For a poor wandering soul who got no place to go

    B                                    E
And just got to stop and rest awhile and rest awhile

A               E
No fellers, you can't have a ride

      B                            E
Cause my bike and my girls I don't share

A             E
Hey, Sheriff, thank you for stoppin'

    F#                                     B
And being concerned 'bout the length of my hair

    E                A
Can anyone lend me a half tank of gas

    B                             E
And I guess that a smile would be too much to ask

      E                                  A
Cause your warm friendly town don't want my kind around

    B                                        E
And I guess I can't stop and rest awhile and rest awhile

A               E
Hello mama your boy's comin' home

      B                             E
Cause my bike and my dreams all got wrecked

A               E
No, mama, don't hang up the phone

    F#                           B
I'm sorry that I had to call you collect

    E                A
Can anyone lend me a half tank of gas

    B                             E
And I guess that a smile would be too much to ask

     E                             A
your warm friendly town don't want my kind around

    B                                        E
And I guess I won't stop and rest awhile and rest awhile
