[Em]
[A] [E] [A]
[D] [A]
[D] [E] [A] They come to town and the war is over.
Dirty [E] boots in the middle [A] of the night.
Trolling the bars, hitting on the soldiers.
Boys give it [E] up without [A] a fight.
They say, hey boy, how about your place?
I know you really [E] want to [A] take me home.
Drop the bags off on the bedroom floor.
They make [E] love with the lights [A] on and [D] said, I'm a country man [A] with a funky bell.
[D] I'm coming to [A] your town.
[E] I'm going to treat you kind.
I'm going to rob you blind.
I'll smile all the time.
Oh, [A] yeah.
[D] [E] [A] Oh, yeah.
[D] [E] [A]
Oh, yeah.
[D] [E] [A] Oh, yeah.
Tell her to have every one of those fights.
You couldn't hurt the [E] ones you could not [A] control.
Bring the man and her that married.
I don't need so [E] much from [A] them anymore.
That's not my song.
I ain't a royal guest.
I ain't around [E] for those [A] who are in school.
Carry her to the bed.
Push her down the aisle.
She ain't got no home in [E] this world [A] anymore.
[D] I'm a [Gb] country man [A] with a funky [E] bell.
[D] I'm coming to your [A] town.
[E]
I'm going to treat you kind.
I'm coming to your town.
I'm going to rob you blind.
I'll smile all the time.
[A] Oh, yeah.
[D] [E] [A] Oh, yeah.
[D] [E] [A] Oh, yeah.
[D] [E] [A] Oh, yeah.
They come down when the party's over.
[B] Books been written and trues been [E] tried.
They'll take it all if the doors have to be.
Steal the notes, wrap them under your [D] eyes.
I've been [A] back up late, baby.
[D] I'm coming to [A] your town.
[E]
I'm going to treat you kind.
I'm coming to rob you blind.
I'll smile all the time.
Oh, [A] yeah.
[D] [E] [A] Oh, yeah.
[D] [E] Oh, [A]
yeah.
[D] [E] [A] Oh, yeah.
[D] [E] [A] [N]
