Tabbed by: A.J. Conner

Tuning: Standard

This is a nice bluegrass tune that changes things up a bit on the Mules' debut
album. It's fast-paced and really fun to play (especially if you know a good
banjo player). Still working on the guitar solo but it's a doozy. If you
can improvise some lead in G that'll do just fine until I get it figured out.
Sorry!

G                    C
Turn of the century, it was a mystery

the day that river caught fire
G                         C

40 gallon barrels firin' at the sky

and the stores sold outta all the garden hose

Was a fateful day, that clear, windy May

That Green River turned a milky brown

Bibles were all closed and people danced in rows

Whiskey river flowin' through the town


BRIDGE 2:

         Em                  D
And the catfish swam around lookin' for a ginger ale
         Em                               D
And the stores sold outta all the garden hose
Em                   C
Sherriff Amos White took a train outta town,
     G           D            G
At least that's what we all suppose

17 miles of bourbon flowin doooooooooooown
