Travis Tritt – When Good Ol Boys Go Bad (Guitar)

    E                       G
Ol' Clarence was a corn-fed Sunday School teacher at the 

A                    E
Cheap hill church of Christ 

  E                            G
A god-fearin', fence-clearin', hay-slingin', hymn-singin' 

A                       E
Back breaker all o' his life

        E
Came in early one night 

          G
found his pretty wife

       A               E
in the arms of another man

      E                  G                 E        
There hell to pay when a good ol' boy goes bad

      E                       G
In a smoke-filled late night club by the river

     A                  E
sat a stranger dealin' five card stud

   E                      G
He was a big-talkin' fast-walkin' fly by nighter

 A                  B
There to take their money and run

 E                      G
They caught the fella' cheatin' so they set him up a meetin'

A                       E
With his maker in the promise land

E              G                     E
Nobody sees a thing when a good ol' boy goes bad

         E                 G
The good book goes out the window 

         A                E
When the gloves go to the floor

    E                   G
His give a damn to be a righteous man

      A              B
Don't give a damn no more

E               G
Under that blue collar 

     A                G
is a big ol' long red path

     E                   G
That hides the truth but it bleeds through

       A                 E
When a good ol' boy goes bad

   E                   G
Now old man Taylor was a fourth generation 

  A           E
Crop growin' son of a gun

E                    G
One dry summer Uncle Sam come a runnin'

  A                      B
Wantin' money but there wasn't none

  E                          G
He put a crop in the holler, when night came he watered

  A                           E
by fall he had the cold, hard cash

 E                              G                 E
When times get hard sometimes a good ol' boy goes bad

         E                 G
The good book goes out the window 

         A                E
When the gloves go to the floor

    E                   G
His give a damn to be a righteous man

      A              B
Don't give a damn no more

E               G
Under that blue collar 

     A                G
is a big ol' long red path

     E                   G
That hides the truth but it bleeds through

       A                 E
When a good ol' boy goes bad

   E                   G
It hides the truth but it bleeds through

       A                 E
When a good ol' boy goes bad
