[Verse 1]
    C                           G                C 
I'm sittin' here waiting in the Tillamook County Jail 

    C                                         D7                  G 
I'm hoping that she's not so mad now that she doesn't even pay my bail 

   C              C7                     F              D7 
If I was her, I'm not so sure I wouldn't keep on moving down the trail 

C                           G                C 
Sittin' here waiting in the Tillamook County Jail 
[Verse 2]
      C                       G               C
Got a lump on my head, and a boot print on my chest 

             C                                        D7          G
From what the guys in here call the Tillamook County lie detector test 

        C                  C7                         F                D7
Well I did my best, but as you mighta guessed, it's a tough test not to fail 

     C                          G                C
I'm sittin' here waiting in the Tillamook County Jail 
[Chorus]
    F               C  
One phone call, two Tylenol 

     F                       C    G 
Four cold grey walls closing in 

     F                       C        F  
If I ever do get out on that highway again 

        C                  G              C  
I ain't ever going back to Tillamook County 

            C                  G              C  
No, I ain't ever going back to Tillamook County

  C                                G                       C
It all started when I had a little trouble with a guy on a highway crew 

            C                                    D7                  G
And that lying son of a gun told 'em I done some things that I didn't do 

             C                  C7           F             D7
They came a-runnin' for me down 101, lights flashing on my tail 

               C                          G                C
And now I'm a-sittin' here waiting in the Tillamook County Jail 
[Chorus]
    F               C  
One phone call, two Tylenol 

     F                       C    G 
Four cold grey walls closing in 

     F                       C        F  
If I ever do get out on that highway again 

        C                  G              C  
I ain't ever going back to Tillamook County 

            C                  G              C  
No, I ain't ever going back to Tillamook County

    C                                             D7             G
And I'm hoping that she's not so mad now she doesn't even pay my bail

   C                             C7   
We came down on vacation, gonna leave on probation 

          F                           D7
