      G#                    C#
I was cruisin' down old 99  speedin' down the old grapevine

Must have been doin' about 95
       G#                                 C#
Well I saw a new car all broken down  and who do you think was a-standin' around
        D#                        G#
But the greatest country singer  alive

    G#                                       D#

It's better with a joint   than with a drink

  G#                                D#

    G#                               C#
