8 -7 8 8 -7 8 -7
I was down in Savannah
8-7 8 8 -7 8 7
Eatn’ Cream and Bannanas
-7 7 -8 -8 -7 -7 7
When the heat just made me faint
8* 8*-9 8 8 8-8 -8-7
I began to get crosseyed
-7 -7 -8 -7 -9 -7
I thought I was lost
-8 -7 8 -7 8-7 8-7 -7 8 -7 7
I’d begun to see things as they ain’t.
8 7 9 9 10 8 7 7 9 9 10
As the relatives gathered to see what’s the
8 7
matter
7 8 -7 8 -7 8 -7 8 8 -7
The doctor came to see was I dyin`
-8 7 8 -7 8 -7 7 8 -7 6 7 -7.
But the doctor said give him jug band music,
7 8 8 -7 -7 7 -7 -7 5
It seems to make him feel just fine
.
-7 -7 -8 -7 -8-7 -8 -7-8 -7 -8 -7 -8-7 -8
I was told a little tail about a skinny as a rail
-8 -8 -8-7-8 8 7 -8 6
Eight foot cowboy with a headache
-7 -7* -7* -7*-7*-7 -7*-7 -7*-7 -7*
He was hung up in the desert swattin’ rats
-7* -7* -7 -7* -7 -8 7 -7*-7 -8 7 -8
And tryn’ ta get a drink of water with his knees
-8 7 8 6
gettin’ mud caked
8 7 8 -7 8 -7 8 -7 8 -7 8 -7
And I’ll tell you in a sentence how he stumbled
8-7 8 -7* 8 -7* 8
into Memphis Tenessee
-7* 8 8 -7 8 -7 8 7-7
Hardly crawlin` lookin` dust baked.
-6 -7 7 -7 7 -7 8 7 -7 7 -7 -7 8
We gave ‘im little water; a little bit of wine
7 7 7 -7 6 7 -7 7 8-7 8 8
He opened up his eyes but they didn’t seem to
7
shine
-7 7 8 -7 8 -7 7 8 -7 6 7 -7
And the doctor said give him jug band music
7 8 8 -7 -7 7 -7 -7 5
It seems to make him feel just fine

So if you ever get sickly
Get sister run quickly to the dusty closet shelf
And pull out a washboard; and play a guitar chord
And do a little do it yourself.
Call on your neighbors to put down their labors
And come and play the hardware in time
Cause the doctor said give him jug band music
It seems to make him feel just fine

I was floatin’ in the ocean
Greased withsuntan lotion
When i got wiped out by a beach boy
He was surfin’ when he hit me but jumped off
his board to get me
And he dragged me by the armpit like a child’s toy
As we staggerd into land with all the waitors eatn’
sandwitches
We tried to mooch a towl from the harpoloy
He emptied out his eardrums; i emptied out mine
And everybody knows that the very last line is
The doctor said give him jug band music
It seems to make him feel just fine

And the doctor said give him jug band music
It seems to make him feel just fine.

BALLAD OF THUNDER ROAD

4   4     5   -4   4 4   5   5   6 -5 5

Let me tell the story, I can tell it all

-4 -4   -4    -5     5     -4     3     3   3 4 4   5 5 6

About the mountain boy who ran illegal alcohol

3     4 4     5     -4       4   4     5       5     6     -5     5

His daddy made the whiskey, son, he drove the load

-4   -4   -5   5       -4         3       3       3     4     4       5   -4       4

When his engine roared, they called the highway Thunder Road.

4      4        5   -4 4 4      5      5        6  -5       5

Sometimes into Ashville, sometimes Memphis town

-4   -4 -4 -5 5       -4       -4   3     3       4     4     5     5     6

The revenuers chased him but they couldn’t run him down

4       4       4         5         -4     4     4     4     5   5       6       -5   5

Each time they thought they had him, his engine would explode

-4   -4 -5   5     -4     3       3     3     4     4     5   -4       4

He’d go by like they were standin’ still on Thunder Road.

(CHORUS)

5     -5       6   -6   -5     -6   -5   6 -5   5     -5     6

And there was thunder, thunder over Thunder Road

6     6     -5   5   -4   3     3       3       4     4      5     5     6

Thunder was his engine, and white lightning was his load

5     -5       -6     -5       -6       -5   -5   6   -5     5     -5         6

There was moonshine, moonshine to quench the Devil’s thirst

-5   -5   -5       -5         5       -4   3       3   3   4 4     5   -4     4

The law they swore they’d get him, but the Devil got him first.
