Steve Earle - Guitar Town (adjusted) guitar chord

Guitar Town

By Steve Earle

To be able to play the intro as well you need to be in Drop D tuning.

The chords here still apply except you have to play a G like 5x0003

G

Hey pretty baby are you ready for me

C

Yeah it's your good rockin' daddy down from Tennessee

D

Well, I'm just outta Austin bound for San Antone

C

With the radio blastin' and the bird dog on

G

There's a speed trap up ahead in Selma town

C

But no local yokel's gonna shut me down

D

Cause me and the boys got this rig unwound

C D G

And we've come a thousand miles from the guitar town

Nothin' ever happened round my home town

And I ain't the kind to just hang around

But I heard someone callin' my name one day

And I followed that voice down the lost highway

Everybody told me you can't get far

On 37 dolars and a Jap guitar

Now I'm smokin' into Texas with the hammer down

And a rockin' little combo from the guitar town

Bridge:

D

Hey pretty baby don't you know it ain't my fault

C G

Love to hear the steel belts hummin' on the asphalt

D

Wake up in the middle of the night in a truck stop

C D

Stumble in the restaurant, wonderin' why I don't stop

Well I gotta keep rockin' while I still can

Got a two-pack habit and a motel tan

When my boots hit the boards, I’m a brand new man

With my back to the riser I make my stand

Hey pretty baby won't you hold me tight

I'm loadin' up and rollin' out of here tonight

One of these days I'm gonna settle down

And I'll take you back with me to the guitar town
