[Verse 1]
G On a snow covered night Am Up in Eastern Wyoming D Another lazy day G Lookin' for the sun G In a draughty old cabin Am Outside a whiskey basin D Another shining light G And a good man on the run
[Verse 2]
Em There's a lady back in Laramie Cmaj7 And her reason no one else can see G For him to spend D The winter on his own G Nothing much to do tomorrow Am Just a matter of survival D Another friendly fight G In a life chocked full of fun
[Chorus]
G Yodel-odel-ayeee-eeee Am eeee-eeeee-eeeee D Yodel-ayeeee-eeeee G eeeee-eeeee-eeeee G Yodel-odel-ayeee-eeee Am Yodel-odel-ayeeee-eeee D Yodel-ayeeee-eeeee G eeeee-eeeee
[Verse 3]
Em It's a special kind of medicine Cmaj7 And all that you can do is win G And though the taste is sweet D You can refuse G Put your heart on the table Am Fill your cup with moonshine D Another empty case of G The Whiskey Basin Blues
[Chorus]
G Yodel-odel-ayeee-eeee Am eeee-eeeee-eeeee D Yodel-ayeeee-eeeee G eeeee-eeeee-eeeee G Yodel-odel-ayeee-eeee Am Yodel-odel-ayeeee-eeee D Yodel-ayeeee-eeeee G eeeee-eeeee
