Bowlegs

(Riff 3) All you hadda do was just 
D                     A
put out the fire, an' call in the 
dogs, an'
 G                  D
 head it on back to Bowlegs. An' 
that's what this tune's about, 
headin' on back.

[Verse 1]
|D .. (Riff 1)|D               
               Sometimes things 
                    |G             
don't work out, but that's how life
      D   |
 is, son
|D                           |E  
 All them little miseries can 
             A
keep you on the run
     |D               D7          
 Some morning you may wake up with
     |G                E
 your face down in the eggs
        |D                 A      
 So just put out the fire, call in
              |G                  
 the dogs, an' head it on back to 
D       |
Bowlegs
|D                 A             
 Put out the fire, call in the 
       |G*                |D
dogs, an' head it on back to Bowlegs
 ..

[Verse 2]
      |D                           
 Well, Lots o' people in this world
    |G                D    |
 are tryin' to make a buck
|D                                
 Some folks ride in limousines 
  |E                         A
while others drive them big ol' 
                |
Peterbilt trucks
       |D               D7        
 Just remember that ol' saying 
      |G              E          |
'bout the round holes in square pegs
         |D                 A     
 An' just put out the fire, call 
               |G                  
in the dogs, an' head it on back to
D       |
 Bowlegs
|D                 A             
 Put out the fire, call in the 
       |G*                |D       |
dogs, an' head it on back to Bowlegs

    |D      (d)(c#)(b) |
Continues after the ad

you're not ...
|A                                  
  |D              (d)(e)(f#) |

 get tired a lot ..

|G                                
 . So, why not take some advice 
  |D   A Bm F#m  |
from me?
|G             A           |D*  |A

[Verse 3]
          |D                  
 Well, the moral of this story 
  |G                D   |
escapes me at this time
     |D                         
 I've been too busy sittin' here 
     |E                 A
just tryin' to make it rhyme
      |D             D7           
 I'm a crazy drunken fool, and 
   |G               E
when I finish off this keg
          |D                 A    
 I'm gonna piss on the fire, call 
                |G                 
in the dogs, an' head it on back to
 D       |
 Bowlegs
|D                 A             
 Piss on the fire, call in the 
       |G                  D       |
dogs, an' head it on back to Bowlegs
          |D                 A    
 I'll just piss on the fire, call 
                |G                 
in the dogs, an' head it on back to
 D       |
 Bowlegs
|D              A            
 Mmm-mmm-m-mmm, mmm-mmm-m-mmm, 
 |G             D      |
