Another one of my heroes is George Jones.
This song is a little bit lighter than the last one,
but we took his nickname, the possum,
and wrote this little song around it
to see what y'all think about [E] it.
[D] [A]
[E] [A]
Barking my car around
Got the [D] shades pulled out
I told [E] everybody, including my mama
I was [A] leaving town
[E]
But I've been [A] right here
Since [D] you've been gone
Belly [E] up at the bottom of a bottle
Listening to [A] George Jones
And just playing the possum
[D] Laying low
I've [E] got a hundred watts of hurt
[D] Coming through the speakers of my stereo
[E]
Don't wanna see [A] nobody
Where I [D] won't go
[B]
Just playing [A] the possum
[E]
And laying [A] low
Gonna
[D]
[E]
[A] [F#m] [E]
[F#] [G#m] [A]
[D]
[E]
[A] hide [E]
[A] my heart
Be a [D] love refuse
[E] I could cry on my best friend's shoulder
But there ain't [A] no use
[E]
Need an [A] expert on
The pain I'm [D] going through
So I'll keep [E] George on the old turntable
Tell him [A] over you
Just playing the possum
Laying [D] low
I've [E] got a hundred watts of hurt
Coming [D] through the speakers of my [E] stereo
Don't wanna see [A] nobody
Where I [D] won't go
[B]
Just playing [A] the possum
[E]
And laying [A] low
[D] Just [A] playing the possum
[E] And laying [A] low
Oh yeah, [N] thank you!
