Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

G+G
I got in a little trouble, at the county seat

Lord, they put me in the jailhouse

For loafing on the street

Or thirty days in the joint

That'll be cash on the barrelhead, hun

You're twenty-one

     C majorC
No money down

No credit plan

       D MajorD
No time to chase you

Verse 3:

       G+G
I found a telephone number, on a laundry slip

I had a good, hardy jailor

    D MajorD    G+G
With a six gun hip

G+G
He let me call long distance

But the entire sum

     C majorC
No money down

      G+G
No credit line

Because a little boy tells me

You're the traveling kind

Thirty days in the jailhouse

Four days on the road

I was feeling mighty hungry

G+G
My feet, a heavy load

I saw a Greyhound coming

Stuck out my thumb

As soon as I was seated

       D MajorD    G+G
The driver caught my arm
