[Fm]
[F]
[N] Looks like I'm gonna need some backup over here.
[Fm] Possum's at it again.
Backup!
Send backup [E] quick!
I saw those blue lights flashing
[A] over my left [E] shoulder.
He walked [A] right up [E] and said,
Get off that [B] riding [E]
[B] mower.
I [E] said, Sir, let me [D] explain
[E] before [A] you put me in [E] the tank.
She took [A]
my [E] keys away
and [B] now she won't drive me [E] to dream.
I need a [A] honky-tonk song,
a cold, [E] cold beer,
a hardwood floor,
a smoky [B] atmosphere,
a pocket full [A] of change
to last me all [E] night long.
[Ab] [A]
I [E] gotta hear old Hank
[B] a moanin' a honky [E]-tonk song.
[B] [A]
[Bm] [A]
[E] [Dbm] [A]
[E] [B]
[Em] [E]
He didn't show me much compassion
when [A] I tried to walk that [Em]
line.
[E] As he put [A] those [E] handcuffs on me,
I said, Give me [A] one [B] more try.
[Eb] He [E] never even cracked a smile
when [A] he threw me in [E] the car.
So I said, Sir, [A] if you [E] don't mind,
[A] oh, [B] would you drop me off at [E] a bar?
[Abm] I need a honky [A]-tonk song,
a cold, [E] cold beer,
a hardwood floor,
a smoky [B] atmosphere,
a [E] pocket full [A] of change
to last me [E] all night long.
[A]
I [E] gotta hear old Hank
[B] a moanin' a honky [E]-tonk song.
[A]
I [E] gotta hear old Hank
[B] a moanin' a honky [E]-tonk song.
