Am6Am7Am6Am7 I'm gonna pull this timber `fore the sun go down
CAm6Am7 Get it `cross the river `fore the bars come down
Am6Am7Am6Am7 Drag it on down that dusty road
DCA Come on Jerry, let's dump this load
Chorus:
(A) CDC I said "Timber, ho!", timber, woah this timber's gotta roll
ACDC I said "Timber, ho!", timber, woah this timber's gotta roll
Verse 2: (alt. chords)
Am6Am7Am6Am7 My old Jerry was an Arkansas mule
DCA Been everywhere and he ain't no fool
Am6Am7Am6Am7 Weighed nine hundred and twenty-two
DCA Done everything a poor mule can do
(chorus)
Jerry's shoulders stood six foot tall Pulled more timber than a freight could haul Workin' heavy old Jerry got sore Pulled so much he couldn't pull no more
(chorus)
The boss said "Jerry" and it made him jump Jerry ran and kicked the boss's rump My old Jerry was a cool mule It been me I would kill that fool Boss tried to shoot old Jerry's head Jerry took the bullet and stomped him dead Stomped the boss til he heard him scream Sure don't care he was so damn mean
(chorus 2x)
