The Great Filling Station Holdup Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
Jimmy [D]Buffett
I pulled into the regular pump
I was [G]feelin' quite at [D]ease
I rolled down my window
and told the [E]man
"Fifty cents worth, [A]please"
[G]Then out jumped my partner
With his [D]trusty pellet gun
He said, "Boy, this is a holdup
Keep [A]pumpin' and don't [D]run."

[Verse 2]
(Chorus) And now [G]I
wish I [A]was somewhere
other than [D]here[G]
Down in some [A]honky tonk,
[E]sippin; on a bee[A]r
Yes [G]I wish I w[A]as somewhere
other than [D]here
Cause that [G]great fillin' station [D]holdup
[A]Cost me two good years.
[D]

[Verse 3]
[D]We got fifteen dollars and a [G]can [D]of STP
A big ole jar of cashew nuts and
[E]a Japanese T[A]V
[G]Feelin' we had pulled the biggest
[D]heist of our car[A]eer
[D]We're wanted men- we'll
strike again!
[A]But first let's [D]have [G]a[A][D][G]
[A]bee[E]r.[A][G][A][D]
[G][D][A]
(Chor[D]us)
[G]We[D]
[E][A][G][D]
[A]wer[D]e
sittin' in the Krystal
About as [G]drunk as we could [D]be
In walked the deputy sheriff
He was [E]holding our TV
[A]He [G]roughed us, then he cuffed us
And he [D]took us off to jail
No picture on a poster, no re[A]ward,
and no [D]bail.[G][A][D][G][A]
