[G] [C]
[C] [F] [C] [F]
[C] He's the loosest [G] dude I've ever [C] been exposed to.
He loves a [G] bottle and a [C] dirty joke.
[F] He likes to hang out on the street,
[C] and he'd rather fight than eat.
[D] And his nose in the [G] women's film broke.
[C] He's been in [G] every jail from [C] here to Walrus,
and every [G] funky old [C] backstreet saloon.
[F] He's a victim of his fate,
[C] born a hundred years too late.
[D] Sometimes I think a hundred [G] years too soon.
[F] He's an outlaw, he's a bum,
[C] he's a rounder and then some.
He's as hungry as a redneck [G] fool can be.
[Dm] [C] He ain't ever gonna [F] be no different.
[G] He's a damn good cowboy,
and I hope to hell he stays in [C] Tennessee.
[F]
[C] He didn't [G] finish school [C] or go to college.
When he turned [G] 16, he [C] just had to go.
[F] And while everyone who did
[C] was building homes and having kids,
[D] he was out west riding [G] some rodeos.
[Bm] [C] He got busted [G] up in Cheyenne [C] last September,
and he had to [G] get his hat, [C] pack his trunk.
[D] [F] And he came on back to town.
[C] He just kinda hangs around.
[D] He's a local hero and a [G] local drunk.
[F] He's an outlaw, he's a bum,
[C] he's a rounder and then some.
He's as hungry as a redneck [G] fool can be.
[F] [C] He ain't ever gonna [F] be no different.
[G] He's a damn good cowboy,
and I hope to hell he [Dm] stays in [C] Tennessee.
[B]
[A] [D] Now you may [A] think that [D] he's a little crazy.
You may [A] think that where he's [D] at's nowhere.
[G] And in your righteous sight,
[D] you just might be right.
[E] But he damn sure did have fun [A] in there.
[G] He's an outlaw, he's a bum,
[D] he's a rounder and then some.
He's as hungry as a [A] redneck fool can be.
And if [D] you don't like him,
you won't like [G] me either.
And he's [A] a damn good cowboy,
and I hope to hell he stays [D] in Tennessee.
[G] [D]
