When Good Ol' Boys Go Bad

And all the G notes after the A notes can either be G
or E (I'm not really sure) you can also alternate the chords


(Verse 1)
    E                       G
Ol' Clarence was a corn-fed Sunday School teacher at the
A                    G
Cheap hill church of Christ
  E                            G
A god-fearin', fence-clearin', hay-slingin', hymn-singin'
A                       G
Back breaker all o' his life
        E
Came in early one night
          G
found his pretty wife
       A               G
in the arms of another man
      E                  G                 A        G
There hell to pay when a good ol' boy goes bad

(Verse 2, same chords)

In a smoke-filled late night club by the river
sat a stranger dealin' five card stud
He was a big-talkin' fast-walkin' fly by nighter
There to take their money and run
They caught the fella' cheatin' so they set him up a meetin'
With his maker in the promise land
Nobody sees a thing when a good ol' boy goes bad

(Chorus)
         E                 G
The good book goes out the window
         A                G
When the gloves go to the floor
    E                   G
His give a damn to be a righteous man
      A              G
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

(Verse 3)

Now old man Taylor was a fourth generation
Crop growin' son of a gun
One dry summer Uncle Sam come a runnin'
Wantin' money but there wasn't none
He put a crop in the holler, when night came he watered
by fall he had the cold, hard cash
When times get hard sometimes a good ol' boy goes bad

(Repeat chorus 2x)
   E                   G
It hides the truth but it bleeds through
       A                 E
When a good ol' boy goes bad
