Verse 1:
G+G
It was hotter than hell in the old no hotel motel
C majorC              G+G
No women and no swimming pool
 C majorC             G+G          G7G7
I couldn't find a honey and damned it weren't funny
G+G     D MajorD      G+G
To wake up alone with a fool
G+G                     G7G7
Beneath the shade I saw a pretty young maid
     C majorC              G+G
She had a mop, and a pail, and a broom
     C majorC              G+G
She said you bad blues singer, I'm a bad news bringer
G+G        D MajorD       G+G
And ir's time to untangle your room

Chorus:
C majorC              G+G
Her jeans were as tight as a stripe on a nine ball
G+G                   D MajorD  D7D7
Lips were as full as a big yellow moon
G+G          G7G7    C majorC    G+G
She makes all of her bread by making a bed
G+G       D MajorD       G+G
While I'm busy making up tunes


Verse 2:
G+G
The manager called and he said checkout is eleven
     C majorC              G+G
And your twenty-four hours overdue
      C majorC             G+G          G7G7
I placed a star by your name and it don't stand for fame
G+G          D MajorD         G+G
It means the sheriff will be calling on you
G+G                          G7G7
Heard a knock at the door and my boots hit the floor
     C majorC           G+G
Had my guitar and my grass in my hand
      C majorC           G+G
I heard the shotgun crescendo as I crashed through the window
G+G           D MajorD         G+G
It sounded louder than a marching brass band

Chorus:
C majorC              G+G
Her jeans were as tight as a stripe on a nine ball
G+G                   D MajorD  D7D7
Lips were as full as a big yellow moon
G+G          G7G7    C majorC    G+G
She makes all of her bread by making a bed
G+G       D MajorD       G+G
While I'm busy making up tunes


Verse 3:
G+G
Well I sold me a song to a big star in Nashville
  C majorC             G+G
His agent just called me today
      C majorC          G+G          G7G7
and he said its number one, you lucky son of a gun
G+G         D MajorD      G+G
and you got riches coming your way
G+G                          G7G7
But I'm a low life with no wife, just a no show hobo
     C majorC               G+G
Ever listenin' to the whistlin' freight train
     C majorC              G+G
And if I find me some riches, I'll be like the other sons-a-bitches
G+G                  D MajorD      G+G
Taking all the pleasure and leaving nothing but fame


Chorus:
C majorC              G+G
Her jeans were as tight as a stripe on a nine ball
G+G                   D MajorD  D7D7
Lips were as full as a big yellow moon
G+G          G7G7    C majorC    G+G
She makes all of her bread by making a bed
G+G       D MajorD       G+G
While I'm busy making up tunes
