Guitar Town Chords by Steve Earle

[Start]

[Chorus]
G                                     
■ Hey pretty baby are you ready for me
                                            C        
Yeah it's your good rockin' daddy down from Tennessee
D                                            
■ I'm just out of Austin bound for San Antone
         C                                 
With the radio blastin' and the bird dog on


[Verse]
          G                                
There's a speed trap up ahead in Selma Town
                         C           
But no local yokel gonna shut me down
D                                           
■ 'cause me and my boys got this rig unwound
          C                                   G   
And we've come a thousand miles from a Guitar Town

[Verse]
G                                       
Nothin' ever happened 'round my hometown
                             C          
And I ain't the kind to just hang around
D                                          
But I heard someone callin' my name one day
      C                                        
And I followed that voice down the lost highway
G                                  
Everybody told me you can't get far
                             C         
On thirtyseven dollars and a Jap guitar
D                                                
■ Now I'm smokin' into Texas with the hammer down
      C                                    G   
And a rockin' little combo from the Guitar Town
C D C G

D                                               
Hey pretty baby don't you know it ain't my fault
  C                            G                     
I love to hear the steel belts hummin' on the asphalt
D                                                 
Wake up in the middle of the night in a truck stop
C                         D                         
Stumble in the restaurant wonderin' why I don't stop


[Chorus]
       G                                   
Well I gotta keep rockin' while I still can
                             C        
I gotta two pack habit and a motel tan
D                                                 
■ When my boots hit the boards I'm a brand new man
        Cmaj7                            
With my back to the riser I make my stand
    C G                                      
And ■ hey pretty baby won't you hold me tight
                               C              
I'm loadin' up and rollin' out of here tonight
D                                        
■ One of these days I'm gonna settle down
C                                G          
And take you back with me to the Guitar Town
