During verses hammer on and off middle and index finger on the E MajorE chord. Also the lyrics are probably not 100%
comment and I will make amendments to the tab.
Capo on 3rd fret
E MajorE E MajorE
Early in the morning when the sun does rise
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
laying in the bed with blood shot eyes
E MajorE E MajorE
late in the evening when the sun sinks low
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
well that's about time my rooster crows
E MajorE E MajorE
I've got women up and down this creek
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
where to keep me going and my engine clean
E MajorE E MajorE
run me ragged but I don't fret
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
cause there ain't been nothing slow me down just yet

Chorus:
E MajorE
Get me drinking that moonshine
D MajorD A augmentedA
get me higher than a grocery bill
E MajorE
take my troubles to the high wall
D MajorD A augmentedA
throw them in the river and get your fill
E MajorE
we been sniffing that cocaine
D MajorD A augmentedA
and no better feeling when the wind cuts cold
E MajorE

D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
but a damn good feeling to run these roads

cast your troubles on the lord of lords
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
