Reed Jerry - East Bound And Down guitar chord

East Bound & Down/loaded up and Truckin'  -- Jerry Reed

(The Smokie and the Bandit Song)

  (b string) when playing the D chord. :)

G C A D

CHORUS

G                             A

Well I'm east bound and down, loaded up and truckin'

  C                                   D

a'we gonna' do what they say can't be done

            G                     A

We've got a long way to go, and a short time to get there

    C                D                  G

I'm east bound, just watch 'ole' Bandit run.

VERSE 1

Em                                        C

Keep your foot hard on the peddle....son, never mind them brakes.....

       A                   B7                 E    

let it all hang out 'cause we've got a run to make

             E                               C

The boys are thirsty in Atlanta, and there's beer in Texarkana

VERSE 2

Em                                  C

Old Smokey's got them ears on, he's hot on your trail

       A            B7                  E

And he ain't gonna' rest 'til you're in jail

               E                  

So, you gotta' dodge him, you gotta' duck him

           C

you gotta' keep that diesel truckin'

     A                                B7

just put that hammer down and give it hell
