Chords

[Verse 1]
G
Bill Monroe out on the road

                           D7
He was goin' to a bluegrass date
When about midnight he said with a fright
C                    G
I'm hungry is it too late
Well the driver said chief there ain't no place to eat
                          C
Every thing's done shut up tight

                          G
Then the banjo man said he had a plan

     D7                     G
He thought it might save the night
From a greasy little sack tucked
                                     D7
Way in the back of the bus he gave his all
A bunch of country ham and biscuits
         C                G
His momma made him for the haul
About two days old and it started to mold
                      C
Said the banjo-pickin' man

                          G
Mon said boy bring me that sack

   D7                  G
You know you can't hurt ham
[Chorus] Well you know you can't hurt ham
   C                   G
You know you can't hurt ham
Mon said boy bring me that sack
   D7                  G
You know you can't hurt ham
[Verse 2]
                                        D7
Old Uncle Dave making his way across the USA
Tuck a ham in a box with nails for locks
    C              G
He'd open up once a day
He'd hand some to the waitress
                         C
And say throw this in the pan

                         G
I've been all around this world

            D7                  G
And girl you know you can't hurt ham
[Chorus] Well you know you can't hurt ham
   C                   G
You know you can't hurt ham
I've been all around this world
                D7                  G
And girl and you know you can't hurt ham
[Bridge]
       D7
You can hurt tater salad

   A7              D7
And it can hurt you back
Get a hold of milk too old
   A7                  D7
And throw things out of whack

   G
And you can hurt a chicken

                        C
Salmonella will mess you up

   A7
And no one can hurt you

                D7
Like someone you love

         G
There's a culinary promise

                           C
That's known throughout the land

               G
No frigerate no expire date

   D7              G
You know can't hurt ham
[Chorus] Well you know you can't hurt ham
   C                   G
You know you can't hurt ham
No frigerate no expire date
   D7                  G
You know you can't hurt ham
No frigerate no expire date
   D7                  G
You know you can't hurt ham
