[Intro lick] [Verse 1] G It was a cold and cruel evening C G Sneaking up on Speedy Creek D [G lick] Found myself asleepin' in the snow For one or two odd reasons C I ain't too proud to repeat A7 D For now we'll say I had no place to go G There was a rustle and a humming C G Just hauling down the street D [G lick] I drew myself up from my icy bed G C G Painted on that shiny car the letters 'R C M and P' G D [G lick] I can feel a little aching in my head [Verse 2] G And then out jumps this old boy C G About twice the size of me D [G lick] He asked me for my name and where I dwelt I just looked him in the eye C G And sang 'Blue Yodel Number 9' A7 D He didn't catch the reference, I could tell G Then the old, familiar click C G and the handcuffs bind and grip C [G lick] Should have left me in the snow, where I laid G He just laughed and touched his gun C And turned to me and he said G D Son, I bet you don't own a damn thing [G lick] To your name [Chorus] C Well, I got my health G My John B Stetson D G Got a bottle full of baby's bluebird wine C And I left my stash G Somewhere down in Preston D [G lick extended] Along with thirteen silver dollars and my mind C Well, I got my health G My John B Stetson D G Got a bottle full of baby's bluebird wine C And I left my stash G Somewhere down in Preston D [G lick] Along with thirteen silver dollars and my mind [G Outro lick] ***************************************** | / slide up | h hammer-on | p pull-off | V strum chord *****************************************
