Chords

[Intro] A A A A [Verse 1]
A
The only joint my mother burned was on the rural route

A
She parked in old man Taylor's woods so she wouldn't be found out

A
Turned off her dome light and snuck off by herself

A
Crouched down beneath that window, fired it up, and gave it hell
[Chorus]
A                            D      A
That hangout my daddy used to hang around

   A                               E        
We watched it all go up in smoke until it all came down

A                                     D           A
Just like that the tabs and stools and tables got turned

A                    E          A
To the only joint my momma ever, burned, burned
[Verse 2]
A
Just like someone flipped a switch, dad started coming home

A
No more eating late cause supper's with that tavern gone

A
I had my suspicions, til the night when we said grace

A
Dad said, "Forgive us, our transgressions as I lit up momma's face."
[Chorus]
          A                       D      A
Like that hangout my daddy used to hang around

   A                               E                 
We watched it all go up in smoke until it all came down

A                                      D          A
Just like that the tabs and stools and tables got turned

       A             E          A
To the only joint my momma ever burned, (burned x7)
[Bridge]
   D                               A
Of all the small town bonfires and bloodhounds in this town

        D                            E
I'm the only one who ever found out about
[Chorus]
     A                       D      A
That hangout my daddy used to hang around

   A                               E           
We watched it all go up in smoke until it all came down

A                                      D          A
Just like that the tabs and stools and tables got turned

A                    E          A
To the only joint my momma ever burned
