When Good Ol' Boys Go Bad

• G

And all the G notes after the A notes can either be G 
or E (I'm not really sure) you can also alternate the chords 
 
 
(Verse 1) 
    E                       G 
Ol' Clarence was a corn-fed Sunday School teacher at the  
A                    G 
Cheap hill church of Christ  
  E                            G 
A god-fearin', fence-clearin', hay-slingin', hymn-singin'  
A                       G 
Back breaker all o' his life 
        E 
Came in early one night  
          G 
found his pretty wife 
       A               G 
in the arms of another man 
      E                  G                 A        G 
There hell to pay when a good ol' boy goes bad 
 
(Verse 2, same chords) 
 
In a smoke-filled late night club by the river 
sat a stranger dealin' five card stud 
He was a big-talkin' fast-walkin' fly by nighter 
There to take their money and run 
They caught the fella' cheatin' so they set him up a meetin' 
With his maker in the promise land 
Nobody sees a thing when a good ol' boy goes bad 
 
(Chorus) 
         E                 G 
The good book goes out the window  
         A                G 
When the gloves go to the floor 
    E                   G 
His give a damn to be a righteous man 
      A              G 
Don't give a damn no more 
E               G 
Under that blue collar  
     A                G 
is a big ol' long red path 
     E                   G 
That hides the truth but it bleeds through 
       A                 E 
When a good ol' boy goes bad 
 
(Verse 3) 
 
Now old man Taylor was a fourth generation  
Crop growin' son of a gun 
One dry summer Uncle Sam come a runnin' 
Wantin' money but there wasn't none 
He put a crop in the holler, when night came he watered 
by fall he had the cold, hard cash 
When times get hard sometimes a good ol' boy goes bad 
 
(Repeat chorus 2x) 
   E                   G 
It hides the truth but it bleeds through 
       A                 E 
When a good ol' boy goes bad
