Hank Williams Jr. – Knoxville Courthouse (Guitar)

    A                        G            D
I'm sittin' in the Knoxville courthouse 

  D                    A
I ain't got a thing to do

A                            G          D
Do, I don't want to go to the movies, I couldn't if I wanted to 

A             G       D             A
'Cause I'm on trial,     for lovin' you. Now this all started 

     G          D                            A
In a honky tonk just the other side of town, a girl comes in 

        G                  D                      A
Takes a stool by me orders gin and drinks it down she lit up a 

  G            D              A                               G
Cigarette, and sexily turned around Well she said my name is Janie

        D                 A                         G                     D
And she asked me what was mine I answered Hank as I walked to the jukebox

              A                      G           D              A
And dropped a dime I checked out her short dress    and low neckline

                          G                   D                 A
We danced for five or ten minutes, and then I held her close to me I kissed lips and 

       G                       D               A
Then I squeezed her hips and I judged about 23    She whispered 

G          D              A                             G
In my ear, I said yes sir-e   Now the scene is a little motel 

D                    A                  G           D
Out on the state highway, there in room 12 a little love is 

              A                          G                     D
About to take place when a state trooper breaks down the door

                        A           B                       A
And shines a flashlight in my face. I said what the hell is this

        E                   B
Another man and woman comes in, and the girl I'm with starts

A                       E                B
Cryin' and screamin' as she runs over to them she said thank

A             E                   B                A
God your here he tried to hurt me Mama, I said now you don't 

         E                        B
Mean the cop said son the girl is 17. And that's why I'm in the 

          A                 E                            B

                           A                     E              B

                A                    E
Time you give a girl the eye and she gives you that certain little 

B                               A              E
