Chords with lyrics

INTRO: G+G D MajorD A7A7 D MajorD

   D MajorD                    G+G           D MajorD
Slim Chance and the Can't Hardly Playboys are pickin' at your local saloon
        G+G      D MajorD                     A7A7
They got a new song out on Polish Records, it'll be a Polish hit real soon
   D MajorD                  G+G       D MajorD
They picked every honky-tonk and bar from here to Timbuktu
   G+G              D MajorD      A7A7           D MajorD
Slim Chance and the Can't Hardly Playboys are bustin' their butts for you

D MajorD                      G+G       D MajorD
Out where the cars are up on blocks and the houses are on wheels
G+G          D MajorD                     A7A7
Slim and a big time bookin' agent, they cooked up a hell of a deal
    D MajorD                G+G      D MajorD
They'd pick every Wal-Mart parkin' lot across the USA
    G+G              D MajorD             A7A7          D MajorD
If the Good Lord's willin' and the creek don't rise and they figure out how to get paid

  G+G (let ring)          D MajorD
No Chance was the only chance the Playboys ever had
                             A7A7
No matter how they picked 'em, everything they played was bad
   D MajorD                      G+G          D MajorD
Then Slim come along and he played the songs that stick right in your head
   G+G              D MajorD      A7A7          D MajorD
Slim Chance and the Can't Hardly Playboys are really a-knockin' 'em dead

SOLO

D MajorD            G+G         D MajorD
Esmeralda Muckinfuch was Slim's good timin' gal
  G+G       D MajorD               A7A7
She wasn't much to look at but Slim loved her anyhow
       D MajorD                 G+G         D MajorD
You couldn't beat her when she's sober, but you had to when she's drunk
    G+G           D MajorD         A7A7         D MajorD
We all called her the Country Kitty, 'cause she smelled just like a what in the world was that?

   G+G (let ring)        D MajorD
Slim Chance could be anyone who hangs out in a bar
                    A7A7
Or any local yokel who sings and plays guitar
    D MajorD                  G+G         D MajorD
All the boys and girls around the world now they know who they are
   G+G          D MajorD           A7A7     D MajorD
Slim Chance is about the best chance that they got to be a star


SPOKEN:
D MajorD                        G+G    D MajorD
Yesterday I couldn't even spell star, and now I are one
    G+G         D MajorD
I say I ain't but a star I are
                   A7A7
Do they not know who we think we are?

I'm tellin' ya we're gonna get 500 a gig or we ain't playin!
D MajorD
I think we need some of them w***es dejours
         G+G                   D MajorD
And some of them carrots and other things people get in back of the stage
              G+G                            D MajorD
We need some of them little sausages on toothpicks, maybe a dressing room (that'd be good)


A7A7 D MajorD
