[Intro 1]
[E][Em][E][Em]
[D][G][Em]
[E]Old

[Verse 1]
Clarence was
a [Em]corn fed [D]Sunday school teacher
[A]At the Cheephill Church [Em]of Christ
[E]A God fearing fen[Em]ce clearing,
[D]hay slinging
Hymn singing, [A]back breaker all of [E]his life
[Em]Came in

[Verse 2]
early one night,
find his [D]pretty wife
In the [A]arms of another [E]man
[Em]There's hell[G] to pay when a
[D]good ole boy [E]goes bad

[Verse 3]
In a [E]smoke filled late night
[Em]club by the [D]river
Sat a [A]stranger dealing five card [E]stud
[Esus4]He was a big ta[E]lkin',
[Em]fast walkin' [D]fly by nighter
[A]There to take the money
[Bm]and run

[Verse 4]
They caught [Em]the fella cheatin'
So they [D]set him up a meeting
With his [A]maker in the promise [Em]land
Nobody [G]sees a thing when a
[D]good ole boy [E]goes [Esus4]bad
[Em]The good

[Verse 5]
[E]book goes [Em]out
[G]the window
When the [A]gloves go to [E]the floor
His give a damn to be a [G]righteous man
Don't [A]give a damn no [Bm]more[B]
[E]Under that blue [G]collar
There's a [A]big ole long red [Em]tail
[E]It hides the truth, but it [G]bleeds through
When a [A]good ole boy [E]goes bad
[Em][D][G]

[Verse 6]
[Em]
[E]Now old man Tay[Em]lor was
a [D]fourth gener[Em]ation
Crop [A]growin' son [Em]of a gun
One dry summer Uncle [D]Sam
come a runnin'
Wantin' [A]money but there wasn't [B]none
He put a [Em]crop in the hollar When night

[Verse 7]
[D]
came he watered
[A]By fall he had the cold hard [Em]cash
When [G]times get hard
Sometimes a [D]good ole boy
[Em]goes [Esus4]bad
[D]The good [Em]book goes out the window

[Verse 8]
[G]
When the [A]gloves go to [E]the floor
His give a damn to be a [G]righteous man
Don't [A]give a damn no [Bm]more
Un[E]der that blue [D]collar
There's a [A]big ole long red [C]tail
It [Em]hides the truth but it [G]bleeds through
When a [A]good [G]ole boy [Em]goes bad

[Verse 9]
The good [E]book goes [Em]out
[G]the window
When the [A]gloves go to [E]the floor
His give a damn to be a [G]righteous man
Don't [A]give a damn no [B]more
[E]Under that blue [D]collar
There's a [A]big ole long red [C]tail
It [Em]hides the truth but [G]it bleeds through
When a [A]good ole [G]boy [Em]goes [E]bad

[Verse 10]
It hides [Em]the truth but [G]it bleeds through
When a [A]good [G]ole boy [E]goes bad
[Em][D][G][E]
