Slow Down Brother chords by Ferlin Husky

C
There's a sixty mile limit from a-coast to coast

C
And a highway cop at every cedar post

           F
You better slow down brother slow down

G7
Take your foot off of the gas


C
When you hear that siren begin to moan

C
While you're goin' fifty in a thirty mile zone

           F
You better slow down brother slow down

G7                         C
And don't give the man any sass


       F
If you race the other feller to the under pass

C
Just kiss yourself goodbye

F
Cause if the lord had really wanted you to go that fast

G7
He'd a-give you wings to fly


C
When you see a man reading a highway map

C
Making sixty-five with junior on his lap

        F
Then it ain't no time to take a nap

G7                      C
Brother you better slow down


C
If another car passes and he wants to race

C
And he's got his arm around his sweetie's waist

           F
You better slow down brother slow down

G7
No use to lean on the horn


C
When you got 'er wide open at ninety-nine

C
On a dead-end road without a warning sign

           F
You better slow down brother slow down

G7                          C
Cause that's how angels are born


         F
When you see a fellar comin' where the highways cross

C
Just ease up and let him by

          F
Don't you dare to try to beat him just to show who's boss

G7
Cause it might end up in a tie


C
If you're hittin' on ninety and a-temptin' fate

C
You will soon be knockin' on the golden gate

           F
Cause them hills and curves are graveyard bait

G7                      C
Brother you better slow down

G7                      C
Brother you better slow down
