[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][D][G][C][Bb][G]
Call up [D]Trudy on the tele

[Verse 1]
[C]
phone
Send her a letter in the [G]mail
And tell her I'm hung up in [D]Dallas
And they won't let me outta this [G]jail
If she asks you how I'm [C]fairing
Tell her I'm just about
to lose [G]my mind
Worrying about old Johnny Lee [D]Walker
And the girl I left behind
[Bb]

[Verse 2]
[G]
John Lee [D]Walker was a [Bb]car mech[C]anic
Had a hand [Bb]for trouble and
a [G]eye for cash
The luckiest man in Dallas [D]County
Had a gold watch chain and
a black mus[G]tache
And he loved his whiskey and he
[C]loved his women
Drove a big, long Cadillac [G]limousine
Kept a big fine fancy townhouse in [D]Dallas[G]
[D]And a hotel suite in New Orleans

[Verse 3]
[G]Kept a switchblade knife
in his left hip [C]pocket
And a .44 hog leg up under his [G]coat
"I'll cut you down in a
New York [D]minute"
If he catch you cheating,
that was all [Bb]she wrote[D][Bb]

[Verse 4]
[G]So cal[D]l up Trudy on [G]the tel[C]ephone
Send her a letter in the [G]mail
And tell her I'm hung up in
Dal[D]las
And they won't let me outta this [G]jail
And if she asks you how I'm [C]fairing
Tell her I'm just about
to lose my [G]mind
Worrying about old Johnny Lee [D]Walker
And the girl I left behind
[Bb]

[Verse 5]
[G]
I [D]just got to town last [Bb]Friday even[C]ing
[Bb]I su[G]re a[D]s he[G]ll didn't mean to stay
[D]I was on [G]my way back to
[C]Louisi[D]ana[Ab][D]
Had a powerful thirst and six [G]months pay
Met a peroxide blonde in a bar on [C]Deville
I was flying high and feeling
[G]mean
Poured down a bottle and
a half [D]a red eye
I dropped thirty-five dollars

[Verse 6]
dollars in the slot machine
[G]And the boys in the back was
a-dealing seven [C]seven cards
I sat down and won me a [G]hundred and ten
Oh, I was raking in chips like
[F]Grant [D]took Richmond
Till big Johnny Lee came a-strolling in
[G]in
And he ripped off the table like [C]a 707
Pretty soon he done won all of my [G]bread
I accused him of cheating,
he reached [D]for a pistol
I grabbed a chair and I went
upside of his [G]head
Then I took off and running
like a motor[C]cycle
I heard the bullets whining
in the [G]sirens wail
But it took half the cops
in Dallas [D]County
Just to put one coon ass boy in [G]jail[Bb][G]
So call up [D]Trudy [C]on the

[Verse 7]
telephone
Send her a letter in the mail
[G]And tell her I'm hung up in Dal[D]las
And they won't let me outta this [G]jail
If she asks you how I'm [C]fairing
Tell her I'm just about
to lose my [G]mind
Worrying about old Johnny Lee [D]Walker
And the girl I left behind
[G]Call up Trudy on the

[Verse 8]
[C]telephone
Send her a letter in the [G]mail
Tell her I'm hung up [D]in
Dallas
And they won't let me outta this [G]jail
And if she asks you how I'm [C]fairing
Tell her I'm just about
to lose my [G]mind
Worrying about old Johnny Lee [D]Walker

[Outro 1]
And the girl I left behind
[Bb][G][G][G]
