Great Filling Station Holdup

• G

Intro:  (G) (D) (A) (D) 
      
(D) I pulled into the regular pump 
I was (G) feelin' quite at (D) ease 
I rolled down my window and told the man, (E) "Fifty cents worth (A) please" 
Then (G) out jumped my partner with his (D) trusty pellet gun 
He said, "Boy, this is a holdup, keep 'a (A) pumpin' and don't (D) run" 
 
And now I (G) wish I was (A) somewhere other than (D) here 
(G) Down in some (A) honky tonk, (E) sippin' on a (A) beer     
Yes I (G) wish I was (A) somewhere other than (D) here   
Cause that (G) great fillin' station (D) holdup 
(A) Cost me two good (D) years 
 
(D) We got fifteen dollars and a (G) can of ST(D)P 
A big ole jar of cashew nuts and a (E) Japanese T(A)V 
(G) Feelin' we had pulled the biggest (D) heist of our career 
We're wanted men, we'll strike again 
But (A) first let's have a (D) beer 
 
And now I (G) wish I was (A) somewhere other than (D) here 
(G) Down in some (A) honky tonk, (E) sippin' on a (A) beer     
Yes I (G) wish I was (A) somewhere other than (D) here   
Cause that (G) great fillin' station (D) holdup 
(A) Cost me two good (D) years 
 
We were (D) sittin' in the Krystal 
About as (G) drunk as we could (D) be 
In walked the deputy sheriff 
And he's (E) holdin' our T(A)V 
He (G) roughed us and he cuffed us 
And he (D) took us off to jail 
No picture on a poster 
No (A) reward and no bail 
 
And now I (G) wish I was (A) somewhere other than (D) here 
(G) Down in some (A) honky tonk, (E) sippin' on a (A) beer     
Yes I (G) wish I was (A) somewhere other than (D) here   
Cause that (G) great fillin' station (D) holdup 
(A) Cost me two good (D) years  
 
Fade Out
