  Steve Earle, "Guitar Town,' from "Guitar Town' LP

  

  G

  Hey pretty baby are you ready for me

   G                                                            C

                D

  It's your good rockin' daddy down from Tennessee

  D

  I'm just outta Austin bound for San Antone

  D             C

  with the radio blastin' and the bird dog on

  

  Speed trap up ahead Selma town

  but no local yokel's gonna shut me down

  Cause me and my boys got this rig unwound

  and we've come a thousand miles from the guitar town.

  

  the lead bit is in G, played over the verse chord progression. Sounds great

  on an electric with a bit of vibrato and reverb.

  Nothin' ever happened round my home town

  and I ain't the kind to just hang around

  I heard someone callin' my name one day

  so I followed that voice down the lost highway

  

  Everybody told me you can't get far

  on $37 and a Jap guitar

  now I'm smokin into Texas with the hammer down

  and a rockin' little combo from the guitar town.

  

  D

  Hey pretty baby don't you know it ain't my fault

  C                                          G

  Love to hear the steel belts hummin on the asphalt

  D

  Wake up in the middle of the night in a truck stop

  C                                         D7

  Stumble in the restaurant, wonderin' why I don't stop

  

  Well, I Gotta keep rockin while I still can

  Got a two-pack habit and a motel tan

  When my boots hit the boards I'm a brand new man

  put my back to the risers and make my stand

  

  Hey pretty baby won't you hold me tight

  I'm loadin' up and rollin' out of here tonight

  One of these days I'm gonna settle down

  and I'll take you back with me to the guitar town

  

  repeat riff and out.
