Chords for Blake Shelton - Playboys of the Southwestern World (lyrics)

_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ This is a song about [D] best friends.
_ [G] _ John Roy [C] was a boy I [G] knew
Since he was [D] three and I was two.
[G] Grew up two [C] little houses [G] down [D] from me. _ _ _
_ _ [G] The only two bad apples on [C] our family tree
[G] Kind of ripened and rotted [D] in our puberty.
_ [G] Two kindred [C] spirits bound by [D] destiny. _ _ _ _
_ Well [Em] I was smart but [D] I lacked ambition.
[C] _ Johnny was [G] wild with no inhibition.
[C] Was about [G] like mixing [C]
fire [G] and [D] gasoline. _ _ _ _
And he'd [G] say, hey _ _ [C] _
Romeo,
_ [G] Let's go down [D] to Mexico.
_ [G] _ Chasein' your readers, drink our self-selling.
Show the Mexican girls a [D] couple real hillbillies.
[G] Got a pocket full of cash [C] in that old Ford truck.
[G] Buzzy cat hangin' from [D] the mirror, blood.
[C] Say, don't [G] you know [A] all those little [G] brown [D]-eyed girls
_ Won't play boys of [G] the southwestern world.
La [C]-la-la-la-la [G]-la-la-la.
La-la-la [D]-la _ _ [G] _ _ _ [C]-la-la-la [G]-la-la. _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [G] Long around our eighteenth year
We found two airplane tickets [D] to hell out of here.
[G] Got scholarships to some small town school [D] in Texas. _ _ _
_ We [G] learned to drink sangrias [C] till the dawn's early light.
[G] Eat eggs, rancheros, [D] and throw up all night.
[G] And tell those daddy's girls we were majoring [D] in a rodeo. _ _
_ Oh, but [Em] my favorite memory [D] of school at fall
[C] was the night John Roy [G] came running down the hall
[C] wearing nothing [G] but [Am] cowboy boots and [G] a big [D] sombrero. _ _
And he was yelling, [G] hey, _ _ _ Romeo, _ let's go down [D] to Mexico.
_ [G] Chase senoritas drank ourselves silly.
Showed them Mexican girls a [D] couple real hillbillies.
[G] Got a pocket full of cash in [C] that old Ford truck.
[G] Plus your cat hanging from the [D] mirror for luck.
[C] Said, don't [Em] you know all [Am] those little [G] brown [D]-eyed girls
won't play boys of the [G] _ Southwestern world.
La, [C]
la, la, la, la, la, [G] la, la, la, la, la, [D] la, la, _ _ [G] la, _ [C] la,
la, la, [G] la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, [D] la, la.
And I [Am] said we had a little [Em]
change in plans,
[C] like when Paul McCartney [G] got busted in Japan.
[C] And I said we [G] got way [C] late when we set [G] foot on [D] Mexican soil.
[C] _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ [D] _ _ You see [G] the border guard with a Fu Manchu mustache
kind of stumbled on John's pocket [D] full of American cash.
[G] He said, doing a little [C] funny business in Mexico, [G] _ [D] amigo. _ _
_ _ _ But [Em] all I could think about was [D] saving my own tail
[G] when he mentioned 10 years in a Mexican jail.
[C] So I pointed to [G] John Roar and [Am] said, it's all [G] his.
[D] Now please let [G] me go.
I mean, it was your [D] idea, genius.
I was just laying there in bed when you said, [G] _ _ hey, _ [C] _
Romeo,
_ [G] _ let's go down [D] to Mexico.
_ _ [G] Chase _ Senoritas [C] drank ourselves silly.
[G] Show them Mexican girls [D] a couple real, real bills.
[G] Got a pocket full of cash in that [C] old Ford truck,
[G] plus a cat hanging from the [D] mirror for love.
[C] Said, [G] don't you know all those little brown-eyed [D] girls
[G] want playboys up the South?
_ [C] Well, playboys from the [G] Southwestern world.
_ _ [D] Ah, we're still best [G] friends.
_ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] Pempery, sell me.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
