Start Jamming...
Now [Ab] I'm just a barter, [Ebm] [Fm] [Db] and I'm dead like [Bbm] my work, [Ab] but I [Eb] don't mind the money, [Ab] oh no.
[Eb]
[Bbm] [Eb] [Ab] I see lots of sad faces, [Db] and lots of [Bbm] bad cases, [Eb] of folks with their backs to [Ab] the wall.
[Eb]
[Db] But [Eb] [Ab] I need four walls around [Db] me to [Bbm] hold my life, [Eb] to keep me from going [Ab] to war.
I [Bbm] [Eb] [Ab] need a hockey, hockey jam to [Db] hold [Bbm]
me tight, [Eb] to help keep me from slipping [Ab] away.
[Eb]
[Bbm] I [Ab] can light up your smokes, [Db] I can laugh at [Bbm]
your jokes, [Eb] I can watch you fall down on [Ab] your knees.
[Eb]
[Bbm] [Eb] [Ab] I can close down this bar, oh [Db] and gas up [Bbm] my old car, [Eb] and I can pack up a Walmart in my own hand.
[Ab] [Eb] I [Bb] [Ab] still need four walls around [Db] me to hold [Bbm] my white life, [Eb] to keep me from going [Ab] on the streets.
[Eb]
[Bbm] I [Eb] need me [Ab] one of them honky jams [Db] to hold [Bbm] me tight, maybe [Eb] one could help little George to keep from slipping [Ab] away.
[Eb]
Now [Ab]
[Db] [Bbm]
[Eb]
[Ab] [E]
[A] the smoke fills the [G] air [D] in this honky [F] [Bm] tonk bar, [E] and I'm thinking about where I'd [A] rather [D] be.
[E]
[A] Oh, but I've brought all my bridges, [D] and I've sank [Bm] all my ships, now [E] I'm stranded at the edge of [A] the sea.
[E] I [D] [A] still need four walls [Dbm] around me [D] to hold [Bm] my life, [E] to keep me from going to [A] war.
I [E]
need [A] a honky [Dbm] tonk jam [D] to hold [Bm] me tight, to [E] help keep me from slipping [D] away.
[N] [A]
