G5                          D5 
My Daddy used to tan my hide, Out Behind the Barn 
                             G5 
He taught me to be dignified Out Behind the Barn 
 C5 
When he took his strap to me 
    G5 
And turned me down across his knee 
   D5                                       G5 
He sure missed up my dignity, Out Behind the Barn 
 
          (Chorus) 
    G5                D5 
  I got my education Out Behind the Barn 
                              G5 
     I ain't a foolin' no sir-eeee 
                          D5 
  Passed each examination Out Behind the Barn 
                                     G5 
     And it almost made a man out of me 
 
 
 G5                          D5 
I smoked my first cigarette Out Behind the Barn 
                                  G5 
And that's one day I won't forget Out Behind the Barn 
 C5 
I got sick you should have seen 
    G5 
How that tobacco turned me green 
  D5                                     G5 
I almost died of nicotine Out Behind the Barn 
 
 
  G5                         D5 
I met a pretty girl one day Out Behind the Barn 
                               G5 
She wanted me to stay and play Out Behind the Barn 
 C5 
She taught me to kiss and pet 
 G5 
That's a game I can't forget 
      D5                                              G5 
Cause we still play that same game yet Out Behind the Barn 
 
 
     G5                        D5 
I'm glad that I can go again Out Behind the Barn 
                                  G5 
And do the things that I did then Out Behind the Barn 
    C5 
Now you might think it ain't no fun 
   G5 
To be a poor ole farmers son 
 D5                                              G5 
You don't know what all I've done Out Behind the Barn 
 

    G5                D5 
  I got my education Out Behind the Barn 
                                     G5 
     and it made a better man out of me, 
            D5                         G5 
     and it almost made a wreck out of me.
