Steve Earle – Guitar Town (Guitar Solo)

G
Hey pretty baby are you ready for me,

                                       C
It's your good rockin' daddy down from Tennessee.

D
I'm just outta Austin bound for San Antone,

         C
with the radio blastin' and the bird dog on.

G
Speed trap up ahead Selma town,

                           C              D
but no local yokel's gonna shut me down.

D
Cause me and my boys got this rig unwound,

          C                                     G
and we've come a thousand miles from the guitar town.

G
Nothin' ever happened round my home town,

                             C           D
and I ain't the kind to just hang around.

D
But I heard someone callin' my name one day,

      C
And I followed that voice down the lost highway.

G
Everybody told me you can't get far,

             C          D
on $37 and a Jap guitar.

D
Now I'm smokin into Texas with the hammer down,

      C                                    G
and a rockin' little combo from the guitar town.

D
Hey pretty baby don't you know it ain't my fault,

C                           G
Lovin' hear the steel belts hummin on the asphalt.

D
Wake up in the middle of the night in a truck stop,

C                          D
Stumble in the restaurant, wonderin' why I don't stop.

       G
Well, I Gotta keep rockin while I still can,

                          C           D
Got a two-pack habit and a motel tan.

D
When my boots hit the boards I'm a brand new man,

       C
put my back to the riser and make my stand.

G
Hey pretty baby won't you hold me tight,

                                  C             D
I'm loadin' up and rollin' out of here tonight.

D
One of these days I'm gonna settle down,

    C                                   G
and take you back with me to the guitar town.
