i love this song . : )

capo ii

E
well the road was hot and flat as a ruler
A
good hundred miles between me and missoula
B
that vinyl top wasn’t gettin’ no cooler
E
so i stopped at a quickie sack
E
well , i figured i’d need about a sixth of miller
A
and one of those things so i wouldn’t spill her
B
i asked the girl if the beer was in the back

she said

B
it’s a dry town
E
no beer no liquor for miles around
A
i’d give a nickel for a sip or two
E
to wash me down
B E
outta this dry town

E
so i turn right around , no hesitation
A
cursed the laws ruinin’ the nation
B
waved goodbye to the boy at the station
E
but she wouldn’t go into gear

E
he said it sounds like your transmission
A
you need to bob , but he’s gone fishin’
B
his day off , he gets a long way from here

cause

chorus

well back home friends you can get a dose of
something strong from your local grocer
so i walked down till i got a little closer
to a place called happy johns

he said “i keep something here for colds and fevers
down underneath’s where i usually leave her
but just last night i felt a cold a comin’ on”

chorus
