Ragged Old Truck chords by Todd Snider

Chords with lyrics

Verse:
G+G
Early this mornin' without any warnin'
 C majorC          G+G
I took a look at myself,
 G+G            G+G
I seen how this married up life I been livin'
  A7A7           D MajorD
Was tryin' to choke me to death
 G+G
I laid on my bed I put a gun to my head
   C majorC           G+G
And I just about ended it all
   C majorC           G+G     E minorEm
But I come to my senses just before I got killed
   C majorC       D MajorD      G+G
And I blowed me some holes in the wall

Chorus:
  G+G
I'm thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up
  C majorC          G+G
And haulin' my ass into town
  G+G                E minorEm
I'm thinkin' 'bout raisin' so much doggone much hell
     A7A7            D MajorD
That I'd have die just to live it all down
G+G                  C majorC
It's my life and there ain't no wife gonna tell me
          G+G
I can't have some fun
   C majorC          G+G         E minorEm
So before that old heffer gets back in from Waco
     C majorC       D MajorD     G+G
You can bet your sweet ass I'll be gone,

Verse:
 G+G
I'm a honky tonk man in a honky tonk band
    C majorC           G+G
With a honky tonk girl on my arm
  G+G          G+G
I may be as ugly as an old mud-rail fence
     A7A7            D MajorD
But I'm loaded with hillbilly charm,
G+G                  C majorC
It's my life and there ain't no wife gonna tell me
          G+G
I can't have some fun
   C majorC          G+G         E minorEm
So before that old heffer gets back in from Waco
     C majorC       D MajorD     G+G
You can bet your sweet ass I'll be gone,

Outro:
     C majorC             G+G     E minorEm
Yeah I'm thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up
  C majorC     D MajorD     G+G
