Joe Nichols - Cash On The Barrelhead guitar chord

From The Louvin Brothers Tribute Album

D

Got in a little trouble down at the county seat

A7 D

Lord they put me in the jailhouse for loafin' on the street

D G D

When the judge heard the verdict, I was a guilty man

A7 D

He said, 45 dollars, or 30 days in the can

G D

That'll be cash on the barrelhead, son

A7 D

You can make your choice, you're twenty-one

G D

No money down, no credit plan

A7 D

No time to chase you, i'm a busy man

Found a telephone number, on a laundry slip

ANd a good hearted jailer, with a six gun hip

He let me call long distance, she said, number, please

No sooner than I told her, she shouted out at me

That'll be cash on the barrelhead, son

Not part, not half, but the entire sum

No money down, no credit plan

Cause the littel bird tells me you're a travinlin' man

THirty days in the jailhouse, four days on the road

i was feelin' mighty hungry, my feet a heavy load

Saw a greyhound commin' stuck out my thumb

Before i got to my seat, the driver caught my arm

Said, that'll be cash on the barrelhead, sun

This grey dog, gets paid to run

When the engine starts, and the wheels don't roll

Give me cash on the barrelhead, i'll take you down the road
