Capo: 3rd Fret
E
1ST: My grandmother owned a night club
A E
On the Arkansas-Oklahoma line
B7
Mama put me on a Greyhound
A B7
And I went to stay with her in the summertime
E
I'd box up those empty long-necks
A E
And stack 'em in the back and make a hand
B7
Then at night she'd let me sneak out
A E
Of the kitchen and let me sit in with the band
E
2nd Yes, I have sacks and quarterbacks
A E
And broke my share of bones along the way
B7
I knew it wouldn't last forever
A B7
Semi-pro always means semi-payed
E
I started climbing drilling rigs
A E
I'm oil field trash and proud as I can be, yeah
B7
Then I took my songs and guitar
A E
And sang 'em for a man from Tennessee
E
Chorus: I've played every beer joint tavern
A E
From New York City out to Pasadena
B7
Every corn dog fair and rodeo
A B7
And sold out every basketball arena
E
Like to get down with my boys
A E
In Afghanistan and Baghdad City too
B7
I am a red, white and blue blooded
A E
Graduate of Honkytonk U
E
3rd: A star can't burn forever
A E
And the brightest ones will someday lose their shine
B7
But the glass won't ever be
A B7
Half empty in my optimistic mind
E
I'll still have a song to sing
A E
And a band to turn it up and play it loud
B7
As long as there's a bar room
A E
With a corner stage and a honky tonk crowd
E
Chorus: I've played every beer joint tavern
A E
From New York City out to Pasadena
B7
Every corn dog fair and rodeo
A B7
And sold out every basketball arena
E
I like to get down with my boys
A E
In Afghanistan and Baghdad City too
B7
Son, I'm a red, white and blue blood
A E
Graduate of Honkytonk U
