Intro:
G D

Verse 1:
D
Well tonight I'm up in Chillicothe
                         A
Down-wind from the paper mill

I'm out here spittin' on the sidewalk
                      D
Taking in the factory smells

Heaven knows she tends to smokin' up a window
                         A
In the air that gas pipe leak

I wonder if she's cringing at the same time
                            D
Thinking pretty thoughts of me

Verse 2:
D
I was up for hours this morning
                                A
Pulling traps before I said goodbye

I plan to tan myself a fox hide
                          D
And hang it on my darling bride

Cause they tell me that it's gonna be a big one
                        A
And the snow is settin' in

And I don't want her cold while I ain't at home
                    D
The way that I have been

Chorus:
G                       D
Spending my nights in a bar room, Lord
                        G
Turnin' them songs into two-by-fours
A   N.C.                        A  N.C.
Dreaming 'bout the day that I'm sitting by the fire
A  N.C.                       A   A   D
Huddlin' with my honey in the Country Squire

Verse 3:
D
Well tomorrow we hit the country music highway
                    A
On our way to Circleville

We're off to do some weekend warring
                             D
While we sing and drink our fill

And when I ain't out playing on my six-string
                   A
With the nickels I acquire

I'm trying to fix her up a castle
                        D
It's called the Country Squire

Verse 4:
D
It's a twenty-four-foot-long vessel
                    A
Measures eight feet wide

It's a fifty-three-year-old camper
                  D
It's made to pull behind

And I've gutted to the studs and the rafters
                               A
And I'm building back piece by piece

I'm trying to fix her up a temple
                      D
My lady of the Estill Springs

Chorus:
G                       A
Spending my nights in a bar room, Lord
D                       G
Turnin' them songs into two-by-fours
A   N.C.                         A   N.C.
Dreaming 'bout the day that I'll sit by the fire
A  N.C.                      A   A   D
Huddled with my honey in our Country Squire

Instrumental:
D E B E B E

Verse 5:
E
One day I aim to have myself a family
                   B
And a cabin on the hill

And I might have to come off of the highway
                        E
To help with the family bills

But when the kids've got a little older
                    B
On the day that I retire

I'll take her somewhere warm for the winter
                    E
Pulling our Country Squire

Chorus:
E
Spending my nights in a bar room, Lord
                        A
Turnin' them songs into two-by-fours
B    N.C                         B   N.C
Dreaming 'bout the day that I'll sit by the fire
B  N.C.                      E
Huddled with my honey in our Country Squire
B    N.C.                         B  N.C.
Dreaming 'bout the day that I'll sit by the fire
B  N.C.                      B   B   E
Huddled with my honey in our Country Squire
