Capo 5th Fret
Intro:
G7 G
(Play high G note on last note of each bar only) (4x)
G
Doing hard time just got a little harder
Way up on the cell block, listen to her holler
Looky here honey, if you don't keep quiet
We're bound to start another brushy mountain prison riot
Chorus:
C G
Come on we're unshackled tonight
D
I got a little time off for good behaviour
G
So let's rock it in the Brushy Mountain conjugal trailer
G
All shacked up and incarcerated
Locked down lovers just a getting reacquainted
Bars on the windows listen to 'em rattle
Tin can jumping like a rodeo saddle
Chorus:
C G
Come on we're unshackled tonight
D
I got a little time off for good behaviour
G
So let's kick it in the Brushy Mountain conjugal trailer
Bridge:
C
Give me a slide-out, double-wide, Class A trailer
G
Wrap it up in razor wire and take it to the jailer
D
Hurry up honey cause they hang me at dawn
C D G
I wanna jive a little 'fore I put my jumpsuit on
Break:
G7 G
(Play high G note on last note of each bar only) (4x)
G
Early next morning there's a knock upon the trailer
It's old mister hangman looking for a favour
Hey buddy with the lady if you do some introducing
I'll call up the governor for a stay of execution
Chorus:
C G
Come on we'll liberate you tonight
D
If you'll allow the pretty lady to stay a little later
G
And let me in your Brushy Mountain Conjugal Trailer
Outro:
G7 G
(Play high G note on last note of each bar only) (8x) C'mon... Wah Wah!...
