Confederate Railroad

Confederate Railroad - Bill's Laundromat Bar & Grille guitar chord

(E) Well I was three days short of pullin out Kingsport

I was (A) headed down to Houston town

Had my (E) guitar packed in a burlap sack

For es(F#)cortin my country (B) sound

I (E) bypassed Jackson, bypassed Memphis

By the (A) time I got to Arkansas

I'da (E) sold my car and that black guitar

For (B) anything cool and (E) tall

So I (A) pulled up to a neon sign on (E) highway forty-nine

Shut the (A) engine down, took a look around and (B) then I stepped inside

I (E) asked that bouncer where I was he said (A) son your at Bills

(B) Honky tonk pickin, line dance kickin, razor back stickin, barbecue chicken

Laundromat bar and (E) grill

(E) Well I saw old Bill sittin at the bar

With a (A) waitress and change machine

He was (E) throwin' out quarters to a waitress names Starr

When I (F#) asked him if I could (B) sing

He said, (E) son go ahead if you brought your guitar

Then he (A) pointed to the back stage door

He said, (E) we don't like original material

Un(B)less its been done be(E)fore

Well I (A) hit the stage like a big wheeled train

Told the (E) boss man to play in 'C'

I played the (A) Tennessee Waltz, Kentucky Rain

And the (B) one about the bird that's free

That (E) lead guitar was like a chainsaw that (A) fiddle like a power drill

at Bill's

(B) Honky tonk pickin, line dance kickin, razor back stickin, barbecue chicken

Laundromat bar and (E) grill

Lead

(E) Well in the few short minutes I was up on stage

Watched a Biker punch a cowboy's face

With a (E) perfect view I was witness to

The des(F#)truction of the whole damn (B) place

It was (E) long necked stems and white fringed hems

Flyin (A) out of that dodge saloon

And that me(E)chanical bull was a distant pull

To the (B) safest place in the (E) room

Well that (A) punch-drunk cowboy showed his wife

That his (E) shirt was soaked in beer

She said, (A) calm down honey have another Lite

Cause we can (B) wash the shirt right here

Then the (E) whole place stopped to thank me for (A) bookin my show at Bill's

(B) Honky tonk pickin, line dance kickin, razor back stickin, barbecue chicken

Laundromat bar and (E) grill

At Bill's (B) Honky tonk pickin, line dance kickin, razor back stickin,

barbecue chicken

Laundromat bar and (E) grill
