Intro:
(D) (D) (D/A) (D/B) (D/C) (D/B) (D)
(D/A) (D/B) (D/C) (D/B) (D) (D) (D)
My grand(D)mother owned a night club
On the (Cadd9) Arkansas (G) Oklahoma (D) line
Mama put me on a Greyhound
And I went to stay with her in the summer(A7)time
I'd (G) box up those empty long-necks
And (Cadd9) stack 'em in the (G) back and make a (D) hand (G)
Then at (D) night she'd let me sneak out
Of the (Cadd9) kitchen and (G) sit in with the (D) band
Yes, (D) I have sacked some quarterbacks
And (Cadd9) broke my share of (G) bones along the (D) way
I knew it wouldn't last forever
Semi-pro always means semi-pa(A7)yed
I (G) started climbing drilling rigs
I'm (Cadd9) oil field trash and (G) proud as I can (D) be, (G) yeah
Then I (D) took my songs and guitar
And (Cadd9) sang 'em to a (G) man from Tenness(D)ee
I've played (G) every beer joint tavern
From (Cadd9) New York City (G) out to Pasad(D)ena
Every corn dog fair and rodeo
And sold out every basketball ar(A7)ena
Like to (F) get down with my boys
In Af(Cadd9)ghanistan and (G) Baghdad City (D) too (G)
I am a (D) red, white and (F) blue blood
(Cadd9) Graduate of (G) Honky Tonk (D) U
Repeat Intro
A (E) star can't burn forever
And the (D) brightest ones will (A) someday lose their (E) shine
But the glass won't ever be
Half empty in my optimistic (B7) mind
I'll still (A) have a song to sing
And a (D) band to turn it (A) up and play it (E) loud (A)
As (E) long as there's a bar room
With a (D) corner stage and a (A) honky tonk (E) crowd
I've played (A) every beer joint tavern
From (D) New York City (A) out to Pasad(E)ena
Every corn dog fair and rodeo
And sold out every basketball ar(B7)ena
Like to (G) get down with my boys
In Af(D)ghanistan and (A) Baghdad City (E) too (A)
Son, I'm a (E) red, white and (G) blue blood
(D) Graduate of (A) Honky Tonk (E) U
That's right a (E) red, white and (G) blue blood
(D) Graduate of (A) Honky Tonk (E) U
