When Good Ol Boys Go Bad

    E                       G
Ol' Clarence was a corn-fed Sunday 
School teacher at the
A                    E
Cheap hill church of Christ
  E                           
A god-fearin', fence-clearin', 
 G
hay-slingin', hymn-singin'
A                       E
Back breaker all o' his life
        E
Came in early one night
          G
found his pretty wife
       A               E
in the arms of another man
      E                  G        
There hell to pay when a good ol' 
         E
boy goes bad

(Verse 2)
      E                       G
In a smoke-filled late night club by
 the river
     A                  E
sat a stranger dealin' five card 
stud
   E                      G
He was a big-talkin' fast-walkin' 
fly by nighter
 A                  B
There to take their money and run
 E                      G
They caught the fella' cheatin' so 
they set him up a meetin'
A                       E
With his maker in the promise land

E              G                 
Nobody sees a thing when a good 
    E
ol' boy goes bad

(Chorus)
         E                 G
The good book goes out the window
         A                E
When the gloves go to the floor
    E                   G
His give a damn to be a righteous 
man
      A              B
Don't give a damn no more
E               G
Under that blue collar
     A                G
is a big ol' long red path
     E                   G
That hides the truth but it bleeds 
through
       A                 E
When a good ol' boy goes bad

(Verse 3)
   E                   G
Now old man Taylor was a fourth 
generation
  A           E
Crop growin' son of a gun
E                    G
One dry summer Uncle Sam come a 
runnin'
  A                      B
Wantin' money but there wasn't none
  E                          G
He put a crop in the holler, when 
night came he watered
  A                           E
by fall he had the cold, hard cash
 E                              G 
When times get hard sometimes a 
                E
good ol' boy goes bad

         E                 G
The good book goes out the window
         A                E
When the gloves go to the floor
    E                   G
His give a damn to be a righteous 
man
      A              B
Don't give a damn no more
E               G
Under that blue collar
     A                G
is a big ol' long red path
     E                   G
That hides the truth but it bleeds 
through
       A                 E
When a good ol' boy goes bad
(Repeat chorus)

   E                   G
It hides the truth but it bleeds 
through
       A                 E
When a good ol' boy goes bad
