Standard Tuning
(Verse 1)
E G
Ol' Clarence was a corn-fed Sunday School teacher at the
A E
Cheap hill church of Christ
E G
A god-fearin', fence-clearin', hay-slingin', hymn-singin'
A E
Back breaker all o' his life
E
Came in early one night
G
found his pretty wife
A E
in the arms of another man
E G E
There hell to pay when a good ol' boy goes bad
(Verse 2)
E G
In a smoke-filled late night club by the river
A E
sat a stranger dealin' five card stud
E G
He was a big-talkin' fast-walkin' fly by nighter
A B
There to take their money and run
E G
They caught the fella' cheatin' so they set him up a meetin'
A E
With his maker in the promise land
E G E
Nobody sees a thing when a good ol' boy goes bad
(Chorus)
E G
The good book goes out the window
A E
When the gloves go to the floor
E G
His give a damn to be a righteous man
A B
Don't give a damn no more
E G
Under that blue collar
A G
is a big ol' long red path
E G
That hides the truth but it bleeds through
A E
When a good ol' boy goes bad
(Verse 3)
E G
Now old man Taylor was a fourth generation
A E
Crop growin' son of a gun
E G
One dry summer Uncle Sam come a runnin'
A B
Wantin' money but there wasn't none
E G
He put a crop in the holler, when night came he watered
A E
by fall he had the cold, hard cash
E G E
When times get hard sometimes a good ol' boy goes bad
E G
The good book goes out the window
A E
When the gloves go to the floor
E G
His give a damn to be a righteous man
A B
Don't give a damn no more
E G
Under that blue collar
A G
is a big ol' long red path
E G
That hides the truth but it bleeds through
A E
When a good ol' boy goes bad
(Repeat chorus)
E G
It hides the truth but it bleeds through
A E
When a good ol' boy goes bad
