Back Then

Intro Am  G  D 


Em        C  	       G  D 
Tell me a story about outlaws, Grandpa 
Em        C           G         D              
Tell me a story about those wild, wild days 
Em        C           G         D      
Tell me a story about cowboys, Grandpa 
Em        C           G         D 
Tell me a story about where you were raised 
And he'd say 


Em   C        G           D 
Over yonder's where I was born 
Em            C           G            D 
Down near the meadow In a plank-board shack 
Em         C             G       D 
Times were hard then for honest folks 
Em     C                   G         D 
But we made up for all the things we lacked 
Em          C             G    D  
Didn't have lawmen but we had thieves 
Em           C              G         D          Em  C  
They used to hang them from that oak tree back then 
G                 D                    Em     C,G,D, 
  That's just the way things were back then 


Tell me a story about outlaws, Grandpa 
Trying to find a place that's safe 
Tell me a story about young men, Grandpa 
The kind that sometimes make mistakes 
And he'd say 


Over yonder lies an old headstone 
Of a man who tried to outrun his past 
He settled down here and he made a home 
But he was wanted alive or dead 
Saw my first lawman when I was thirteen 
He shot my daddy down in front of me back then 
That's just the way things were back then 


SOLO, Kicks A..   Aaron Wall is the MAN!! 

Then,  Am G D again before going back into the verse. 

Tell me a story about poor men, Grandpa 
Trying to feed their body and souls 
Tell me a story about farmers, Grandpa 
Who cleared the land where the dogwoods grow 
And he'd say 

Over yonder's where I would plow 
We scratched a living among these hills 
We raised peanuts and we raised cows 
But I made my living from a whiskey stillThey sent a lawman when I was eighteen 
I tried to run but they arrested meI spent a year and a day in the county jail 
That's where I was 
When the market fell 

Another good little SOLO 

Tell me a story about outlaws, Grandpa.
