Paycheck Johnny - Colorado Kool-Aid guitar tab

G

I was sittin' in this beer joint down in Houston Texas

C

Been drinkin' some Colorado Kool Aid and talking' to some Mexicans

D

And we was - uh, what's that y'say

G

What's Colorado Kool Aid

Well it's a can of Coors brewed from a mountain stream

It'll set yer head on fire and make your kidneys scream

Ohhh It sure is fine

Yeah we was havin' one of them real good times

But you know every beer joint you ever been in

Some big mean drunk, who just ain't got no friends

Sure enough wants to fight, yeah,

He's gonna whip everything in sight

Well sir, he took a big old swallow of beer

And walked on over and spit in my Mexican friends ear

Well sure enough, that made my buddy real mad

Cause that's like somethin' he ain't never had

Well sir, he pulled out a big, long switchblade knife

Quick as a whistle, he began to slice

That big mean drunk stood back, his face full of tears

Lookin' down at the floor at one of his ears

Hmph- he cut that thang off even with the side burns

Now you might say that one little Mexican fellow

He just didn't give a damn

But he was a gentleman about it, he bent over with a halfway grin

Picked it up and handed it back to him

Now Big Man, you get the urge to spit a little beer

Just open up your hand and spit it in your own ear

Won't be no trouble that way, that's what I heard him say

And I said barmaid, bring us another round of them Colorado Kool Aids

And while your up there bring this fellow a box of band aids

Now let me tell you, if your ever drivin' down in South Texas

And you decide to stop and drink some of that Colorado Kool Aid

Even maybe talk to some Mexicans, and you get the urge to get a little tough

Better make damn sure you got your knife-proof earmuffs

Ain't that right big man, I said ain't that right big man

Ah, hell he can't hear, not on this side anyway, he ain't got no ear

Hey barmaid, bring us a big glass of that Colorado Kool Aid

How bout it, how ya doin' big man, still got yer ear there in your hand
