Steve Earle – The Week Of Living Dangerously (Guitar)

                                                       A
Well I got outa work and I headed for the neighborhood beer joint

        E                                               A
I sat around and had a beer with the boys like I always do

         D                                                A
Well I didn’t have nothin’ to say and well there aint no point

         E                                             A
There’s something about a Monday that always makes me blue

                  A                                                           A
Well it was way after dark so I knew my wife and kids were waitin’           E

                                      A
And I guess I took a left where I generally take a right                 D

                                           A
Well I filled ‘er up with gas and checked the oil at the Texaco station     E

                                                 A
I threw the car seat into the dumpster and headed out into the night

 D           G         A
Woooo Wooo-Wooo-Wooo 

         E                                              A
There’s somethin’ ‘bout a Monday that always makes me blue

        E                                A
Well I headed south on 35 hell bent for vinyl

     E                               A
I’d never had the truck up past 75 before                          D

                                            A
Well there’s something ‘bout that little red line always looked so final

       E                                                A
Buddy you’d be surprised how fast a Chevrolet truck can go

        E                                    A
Now in Mexico they got a little place called Boy’s Town

        E                                               A
Where a man is still a man if you know what I’m talkin’ about

         D                                        A
Well I walked into the Cadillac Bar and I laid my cash down

           E                                                            A
I said “There’s plenty more where that came from.” And the lights went out

 D           G         A
Woooo Wooo-Wooo-Wooo 

         E                                              A
There’s somethin’ ‘bout a Monday that always makes me blue

        E                                             A
Well I woke up in the county jail across the line in Laredo

         E                                                      A
I had a headache and the deputy was a starin’ at me through the door

         D                                           A
He said “how you got across that river alive I don’t know,

         E                                                   A
But you wife just made your bail so now your in her debt for sure.”

        E                                                   A
Now my wife she called my boss and she lied so I got my job back

        E                                                A
And the boys down at the plant they whisper and stare at me

         D                                                     A
Well my wife she finds a lot of little jobs to keep me on the right track

         E                                        A
That’s a small price to pay for a week of living dangerously

  D       G        A
Woooo Wooo-Wooo-Weee

          E                                       A
That’s a small price to pay for a week of living dangerously
