G
As I drove down on sixty-five
C
I was cruisin' down that old grapevine
G D
Must of been doin' at least about ninety five
G
Right there on the side of the all broke down
C
Who do you think was a-standin' around?
G D G
But the greatest country singer alive ('cept for me)
Chorus:
G C
I'll fix you flat tire, Merle
D
Don't you get your sweet country pickin' fingers
G
All covered with erl
C
You're a honky, I know, but Merle, you got soul
D G
And I'll fix your flat tire, Merle
I heard you had some adventures, you
Makin' love in a telephone booth
And I hear you even did a little stretch in jail
But now you got a big ranch house with a bar
And eight or nine, ten of them fancy cars
And every other week a check comin' in the mail; well
Chorus
I heard about all them records you did
Makin' fun of us long-haired kids
And now you know we don't care what you think
But Merle, if you're gonna call the world your home
You know you're gonna have to go out and get stoned
And it's better with a joint than with a drink (I think)
Instrumental (same progression as verses)
Chorus
D C D G
So, I'll fix your flat tire, Merrrrrrrrrle
G G G D G
