Shithouse Rat

E, E7,  E, E7,  E, E7,  E, E7 - intro

E
runnin' down the 301 like he never done before
Bm
gasin' down that stright 6 like there never was a floor
       A                                E     E7, E, E7
he was crazier than a shithouse rat, oh lord
Bm                                                E, E7, E, E7
past those blues at 110, the chase was all for sure
E     E7  E                   E7
oh no,    they just sat there
A                                               E, E7, E, E7
maybe they didn't see him, maybe they didn't care


E
that old boy turned around
E
passed him on the other side
E
he turned around again
Bm                  E, E7, E, E7
and gave it another shot
E
runnin' down that 301 like he never done before
Bm
burnin' up that old straight 6 like he had nine lives or more
A                                               E, E7, E, E7
he had fire in his eyes and led in his feet, oh lord

A                                              E, E7, E, E7
so now theres 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, smokers on his tail
Bm                                                                E, E7, E, E7
but if theres 7, 8, 9, 10, or more that boy wouldn't have given a hell
A                                                   E, E7, E, E7
they tried to run, run, run, run, run, run, run him down
Bm                                                          E, E7, E, E7
but they couldn't catch that old shithouse rat for the life of them
