Tonight Im Playin Possum

D                G           A
I'm gonna need a strong one, it's gonna be a long one
            G                                     A
In case you haven't heard, "He Stopped Loving Her Today"
       D               G      A
So I'm dustin' off the vinyl, it's gonna be an all nighter
    G                                        A
I'm warnin' you now, from here on out, boys, I'll be the DJ

[Chorus]
D                  G                         A
So find a drink or find a road, I'm about to drop a needle on some ol' No Show
       D             G             A      G
You're gonna want an ashtrey and a bottle
D                  G                  A                                          D
I'm goin' deep and goin' long ?etil I run that needle through every last song he ever sung
   G                   A                          G   A                 D
So pour 'em strong and smoke 'em, if you got 'em, to- night I'm playin' Possum

[Verse 2]
           D             G       A
I bet he'd step right up singin'
                              G                           A
Right now he's bringin' every angel in the house up there to tears
D                      G            A
So close the doors and lock 'em up, and if you see me chokin' up
     G                                         A
Just dim the lights, 'cause boys, tonight what happens here stays here

[Chorus]
D                  G                         A
So find a drink or find a road, I'm about to drop a needle on some more "No Show"
       D             G             A      G
You're gonna want an ashtrey and a bottle
D                  G                  A                                          D
I'm goin' deep and goin' long ?etil I run that needle through every last song he ever sung
   G                   A                          G         A                 D      G A
So pour 'em strong and smoke 'em, if you got 'em, boys, to- night I'm playin' Possum | |
