The members of Cross Canadian Ragweed -- Grady Cross, Cody Canada, Randy Ragsdale and Jeremy Plato -- have known each other pretty much since kindergarten in the band's hometown of Yukon, Oklahoma. They all wanted to get out, and music seemed like a good escape. When they all had graduated (except for Ragsdale, the youngest member), they started jamming at a party, and Cross Canadian Ragweed was born. Yukon as a rule wasn't a very musician-friendly town, but they had one notable local squarely in their corner: Ragsdale's father Johnny.

Title: Crazy Eddie's Last Hurrah Artist: Cross Canadian Ragweed Submitted by: Matt Toliver Questions or comments: email to [email protected]
This is easily my favorite Cross Canadian tune. This is my first tab but I am 100% this is accurate, I've spelled out the hammer-ons and strum patterns to make this tab user-friendly. If you look at the tab of the intro as you listen to the song you will able to easily see and hear how this song fits together. The tabbed progression repeats the entire song and I've included lyrics, just remember to do those little hammer-ons the ENTIRE SONG. Hope you enjoy it.
The G's and C9's are played exactly like this throughout the entire song. It's Critical get this little strum pattern down for the song to sound right.

Song: (same pattern as intro)
GCG Well it sure didn't take to long,
GCG I woke up in the mornin' she was gone.
EmCGC Well the note that she wrote didn't say dear John,
GDG just goodbye sucker I'm gone.
GCG She was a homegrown mountain girl
GCG Raised in a different world
EmCGC I was a wanna-be rocker, she was more into merle
GDG Just couldn't see it wouldn't work.
EmCGC And now i'm double fistin' longnecks and grapefruit and stoli
GDG but i'm never gettin over joely.
Instrumental break: (Play same progression 1x G-C-G--G-C-G--Em-C-G-C-G-D-G)
GCG So I poured my-self in the car
GCG And drove it on down to the bar.
EmCGC But they wouldn't let me in cause I ain't a movie star
GDG so I went to the horseshoe on Lamar.
GCG The bouncer through me out there too
GCG And I didn't know what to do
EmCGC So I picked up the phone and I called dear sue,
GDG But the call block wouldn't let me through.
EmCGC And now I'm lookin' for some drugs or a shrink to console me
GDG But I'm never gettin' over Joely.
Instrumental break: (Play same progression 1x G-C-G--G-C-G--Em-C-G-C-G-D-G)
*****Slow it Down.....
GCG So I packed up all my guns
GCG And a pipe bomb just for fun
******(pick up tempo again)
EmCGC Went to her house and parked on the lawn
GDG That's right I always was a crazy one.
GCG Her boyfriend was sure nice to me
GCG Said calm down would you like a drink
EmCGC so I shot him full of holes from his nose to his knees
GDG And polished off her little sweet pea
EmCGC Now I'm lyin on the floor feelin' dirty and unholy
GDG but I'm never gettin over Joely.
EmCGC Now I'll probably get life and serve at least forty
GDG but I'm never gettin' over Joely.
