Intro: (D) (D) (D/A) (D/B) (D/C) (D/B) (D)

(D/A) (D/B) (D/C) (D/B) (D) (D) (D)

My grand(D)mother owned a night club

On the (Cadd9) Arkansas (G) Oklahoma (D) line

Mama put me on a Greyhound

And I went to stay with her in the summer(A7)time

I'd (G) box up those empty long-necks

And (Cadd9) stack 'em in the (G) back and make a (D) hand (G)

Then at (D) night she'd let me sneak out

Of the (Cadd9) kitchen and let me (G) sit in with the (D) band

Yes, (D) I have sacked some quarterbacks

And (Cadd9) broke my share of (G) bones along the (D) way

I knew it wouldn't last forever

Semi-pro always means semi-pa(A7)yed

I (G) started climbing drilling rigs

I'm (Cadd9) oil field trash and (G) proud as I can (D) be, (G) yeah

Then I (D) took my songs and guitar

And (Cadd9) sang 'em to a (G) man from Tenness(D)ee

I've played (G) every beer joint tavern

From (Cadd9) New York City (G) out to Pasad(D)ena

Every corn dog fair and rodeo

And sold out every basketball ar(A7)ena

Like to (F) get down with my boys

In Af(Cadd9)ghanistan and (G) Baghdad City (D) too (G)

I am a (D) red, white and (F) blue blood

(Cadd9) Graduate of (G) Honky Tonk (D) U

Repeat Intro

--Key Change--

A (E) star can't burn forever

And the (D) brightest ones will (A) someday lose their (E) shine

But the glass won't ever be

Half empty in my optimistic (B7) mind

I'll still (A) have a song to sing

And a (D) band to turn it (A) up and play it (E) loud (A)

As (E) long as there's a bar room

With a (D) corner stage and a (A) honky tonk (E) crowd

I've played (A) every beer joint tavern

From (D) New York City (A) out to Pasad(E)ena

Every corn dog fair and rodeo

And sold out every basketball ar(B7)ena

Like to (G) get down with my boys

In Af(D)ghanistan and (A) Baghdad City (E) too (A)

Son, I'm a (E) red, white and (G) blue blood

(D) Graduate of (A) Honky Tonk (E) U

That's right a (E) red, white and (G) blue blood

(D) Graduate of (A) Honky Tonk (E) U
