Intro: GCGCGCG
G Her Father was a failure C Her Mother was a comfort G To a doctor and lawyer and Indian Chief. G The shirt ran out of buttons C He lost all his marbles at a baseball game G And they went on Relief. CG The bank took away their diplomas CG They locked them up inside of the chest CG And she moved away to Oklahoma AD And got a tattoo on the side of her breast
G "God-Damn, My socks are still hard" CG From lying on the sofa on the night she was over in my backyard C Yeah, We was shooting the breeze out amongst the trees G When a shot rang low DG And left her standing down by the side of the road DG Down by the side of the road
G Father have mercy, Whoo Whoo C Get her a nurse please G She's almost alone CG I saw her hand reaching out for the telephone CG We rather see her locked up inside a home DG Than see her standing down by the side of the road DG Down by the side of the road
CG Headlights flashing on her skirt in the wind. CG Yonder comes a truck it drove by two men. CGG/F#Em Shotgun man leaned out and said do you want to take a ride? AD Out in the pale moonlight Light. light Light Lie Lie Lie lie
G Too long in the hot sun CG She could've be Miss Wisconsin a long time ago CG Spent to much time inside of the early show CG We'd bought her a ticket but she didn't want to go DG She was standing down by the side of the road DG Down by the side of the road
CG Headlights flashing on her skirt in the wind. CG Yonder comes a truck it drove by two men. CGG/F#Em Shotgun man leaned out and said do you want to take a ride? AD Out in the pale moonlight.

G God-Damn, My thoughts are still hard. CG From lying on the sofa on the night she was over in my backyard C Yeah, We was shooting the breeze out amongst the trees G When a shot rang low DG And left her standing down by the side of the road DG Down by the side of the road DG Down by the side of the road DG Down by the side of the road
