Billy Joe Shaver – Ragged Old Truck chords

[Verse 1]
GEarly this mornin' without any warnin'
  C                   GI took me a look at myself, good God
  C                        GI seen how this married up life I been livin'
    A7                    DWas tryin' to choke me to death

  GI laid on the bed with my gun to my head
      C                     GAnd I nearly 'bout ended it all
      C                      GBut I come to myself just before I got killed
      A7             D            GAnd I blowed me some holes in the wall

[Chorus]
GI'm thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up
    C                   GAnd haulin' myself into town
    C                              GI'm thinkin' 'bout raisin' so much doggone much hell
          A7                      DThat I'll die 'fore I live it all down

  GI lay 'round this place 'til I'm blue in the face
      C                   GAnd I may as well be underground
    C                          GI'm thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up
    A7        D         GAnd haulin' myself into town

[Verse 2]
GA honky tonk man in a honky tonk band
       C                     GWith a honky tonk girl on my arm
  C                    GI may be as ugly as an old mud-rail fence
        A7                    DBut I'm loaded with hillbilly charm, that's right

GIt's my life and no wife of mine's gonna tell me
  C                         GI can't go and have me some fun
   C                             GSo before that old heffer drives back in from Waco
        A7            D           GYou can bet your rear end I'll be gone, long gone

[Chorus]
GI'm thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up
    C                   GAnd haulin' myself into town
    C                              GI'm thinkin' 'bout raisin' so much doggone much hell
          A7                      DThat I'll die 'fore I live it all down

  GI lay 'round this place 'til I'm blue in the face
      C                   GAnd I may as well be underground
    C                          GI'm thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up
    A7        D         GAnd haulin' myself into town

[Outro]
          C                           GYeah, I'm thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up
    A7       D           GAnd haulin' myself into town
