_ _ [F] _ _ [A] The highways that wind and [Bb] wander across this lonesome land [F] sure can get weary sometimes,
_ especially when you get a flat on the old [Cm] easel.
I [C] was barreling [Bb] down Old 77 one day and I just [Ab] passed a [Bb] hobo who had given me the [Gm] thumb,
[E] and I gave him the thumb [F] back and kept going.
[Cm] And wouldn't [F] you know it, _ about a quarter of a mile further I pulled up on the [C] shoulder
with a flat on the right rear.
[Bb] And as I stood there looking at it, shaking my head, uttering some [F] profane syllables,
[Bb] the hobo walked up and said [Fm] to me,
Have a flat?
[Bb] No, [C] thanks, I [Gm] got one.
It ain't [F] too bad, it's only flat on the bottom.
Oh, brother, you [Bb] could tell this guy had been out of circulation for a long [F] time.
What's you gonna do about it?
Well, I was just gonna look for a man to help me fix it.
Good, I'll help you [Cm] look for him.
[Bb] How about you?
Yeah, how about me?
Well, I mean, how about you giving me a hand?
Oh, I'd like to help you, old buddy, but I'm too light for heavy [F] work and too heavy for light work.
And too lazy.
Well, that might fit in there someplace.
Well, thanks a lot, I'll fix it [C] myself.
And I'll supervise the job.
_ Say, old [Bb] buddy, how about giving me a dime for a piece of [F] cake?
Well, if that don't [Fm] beat all.
And it's cake you [F] want.
Well, today's my birthday. _
[C] All right, help [F] me fix this flat and I'll buy you a full dinner.
Okay, you got [Bb] a deal, but let [Fm] me see the menu first.
[F] Look, Buster, you know hard work won't kill you.
I don't know, I lost several wives that [Fm] way.
Come on now, you [Bb] look strong enough to work.
[Fm] And you look [Bb] handsome enough to be a movie star, but I see you're [Fm] pushing this old easel.
[Dm] Ah, surely you must have done [F] some work.
Oh yeah, I work now and then.
What do you do?
This and that.
[B] [C] Whereabouts?
Here and there.
I see.
Now, when you gonna give me that dime?
[Bb] Oh, sooner or later.
You can kid me if you want to, [F] but I'll tell you one [Bb] thing.
I wouldn't change [F] places with a guy that had a [Bb] million bucks.
How about [C] five million?
Not even [F] five million.
How about ten million?
Not even, [Cm] well, nah, that's different.
You're [Bb] talking real dough.
Now, look here, [Fm] you no good [Am] mangy, not neat, bowlegged, [F] bald-headed, two-bit, old boat.
Who are you calling bowlegged?
Now, look, you're gonna help me [Bb] fix this flat or I'm gonna break your_
Careful, chum, you'll bend the suit.
Now, for the last time, are you or ain't you?
You get so [F] excited.
Okay, I'll help you.
Let me take a look at [Dm] that tire.
Hmm, [C] just as I thought.
That ain't no blowout, just a slow leak.
[Bb] Hand me that tire pump.
And friends, if [F] I hadn't seen it with my own [C] eyes, I [Bb] wouldn't have believed it.
[F] That tramp took that [C] pump, and with one [F] hand, mind you, pumped that big tire full [Bb] of air in it.
No time.
Well, what do you know?
No flat.
[F] Partner, I want to thank you.
Hop [C] in the cab and the next [F] stop we make, I'll buy you the biggest steak [Bb] and the best cake they've got in the house.
Sounds like a winner.
Just one thing, though.
I noticed you only [F] used one hand on that tire pump.
How come?
Oh, I don't know, except this [D] arm's broke.
Broke?
Just [C] a little bit.
Oh, I'm sorry, old buddy.
How did it happen?
[Bb] Well, it was like this.
I got a hold of this copy of the Playboy [F] magazine.
Yeah.
And I thought it [Bb] was a Sears and Roebuck [F] catalog.
Go on.
And I broke my [C] arm filling out order blanks.
Oh, no, [F] come on, let's hit the road. _ _
