Cooder Graw - Shifting Gears guitar chord

Shifting Gears

By Cooder Graw

Capo 2

A

Sheriff drove out to the edge of the county

D

Kicked a man out and turned around and he

D A

Drove slowly back into town

E A

Just don't hurt nobody, or you'll be going down

A

Earn respect quick with a gun in your pocket

A

Everybody shut up and you'd better watch it

D A

If you're out doing things everyone knows ain't right

E A

Find yourself in the highway in the middle of the night

Chorus 1:

F#m G A

Find yourself down 152 East out of town

F#m G A

You can scream and no one hears a sound

Bm D E

Yea, and the sheriff and his boys know every road out of here

G D A

And they'll kick you right out in the middle of shifting gears

Lived in the courthouse, kept an eye on things

Better stay quiet and you'd better not sing

Unless you can keep a tune in your head

Just don't do nothing stupid or you might end up dead

Leather gloves in the back of his pants

Dont backtalk or you're gonna dance

Around an 8-by-12 steel and cement cell

And if you hurt a woman, you'll find yourself in Hell

Chorus 2:

Hell's down 152 East out of town

You can scream and no one hears a sound

Yea, and the sheriff and his boys know every road out of here

And they'll kick you right out in the middle of shifting gears

Yeah they'll kick you right out in the middle of shifting gears

He'll see to it that your trip is short

Mind your manners and you ain't got to worry

It's a well known secret the sheriff runs a tight town

Just don't hurt nobody or you'll be goin' down

Sheriff drove out to the edge of the county

Kicked a man out and he turned around and he

Watched his mirror as he drove into town

Just don't hurt nobody or you'll be goin' down

Chorus 3:

Dinf yourself down 152 East out of town

You can scream and no one hears a sound

Yea, and the sheriff and his boys know every road out of here

And they'll kick you right out in the middle of shifting gears
