Chords

[Intro] E7 [Verse 1]
E7
Standing in the window with his tongue hanging out

         E7
like the king of something evil in a year-long drought

       E7
With a dirty white suit, a big white hat

  E7
a bullet in his pocket no matter where he's at

     A7     G7             E7
He's trouble  but ain't we all

A7     G7             E7
Trouble  but ain't we all
[Verse 2]
    E7
His daughter was a looker but five'll get you ten

   E7
He dressed her like a hooker and she smelled like sin

          E7
She had a ragtop car, she made good grades

    E7
She didn't like her daddy 'cuz he wouldn't let her date

        A7     G7               E7
She was trouble  but ain't they all

A7     G7               E7
Trouble  but ain't they all
[Chorus]
A7              E7
 Don't work for him boy

A7                      E7
 It's like selling your soul

A7                       E7
 He’ll turn his back and leave you

A7             G7
 Way down in a hole

A7                  E7
 His daddy wasn't a good man

A7                    E7
 He owned most of the town

A7                    E7
 He bought up all the farmland

A7                   G7
 and tore up all the ground
[Instrumental] E7 [Verse 3]
   E7
He covered up the county in stone and creosote

        E7
Came to football games in a new fur coat

      E7
Had a real big wife and a real big grin

   E7
He gave thanks to Jesus for the shape that he was in

     A7     G7             E7
He's trouble  but ain't we all

A7     G7             E7
Trouble  but ain't we all
[Chorus]
A7               E7
 Big sign on the roadside

A7                 E7
 telling me how to live

A7                    E7
 A couple things that he done

A7               G7
 Real hard to forgive

A7                 E7
 So don't work for him, boy

A7                      E7
 It's like selling your soul

A7          E7
He'll walk away and he’ll leave you

A              G7
 way down in a hole
[Outro] E7
