Bubba Shot The Jukebox       Mark Chesnutt 
 
G5    
We were all down at Margie's bar  
G5 
Telling stories if we had one 
G5 
Someone fired the old jukebox up 
G5 
The song sure was a sad one 
G5 
A teardrop rolled down Bubba's nose  
G5 
>From the pain the song was inflicting 
G5 
And all at once he jumped to his feet  
G5 
Just like somebody kicked him 
 
CHORUS: 
G5                        D5     G5 
Bubba shot the juke box last night 
 D5                            C5       G5 
Said it played a sad song it made him cry 
G5                             D5    C5 
Went to his truck and got a forty five 
G5                         D5    G5 
Bubba shot the juke box last night 
 
key change 
G#5 
Bubba ain't never been accused of being mentality stable 
G#5 
So we did not draw an easy breathe  
G#5 
until he laid that colt on the table 
G#5 
He hung his head till the cops showed up 
G#5 
They dragged him right out of Margie's 
G#5 
Told him "Don't play dumb with us, son" 
G#5 
"Know damn well what the charge is." 
 
CHORUS: 
G#5                       D#5   G#5 
Bubba shot the juke box last night 
 D#5                           C#5       G#5 
Said it played a sad song it made him cry 
G#5                            D#5   C#5 
Went to his truck and got a forty five 
G#5                       D#5   G#5 
Bubba shot the juke box last night 
 
 
A5 
Well, the sheriff arrived with his bathrobe on 
A5 
The confrontation was a tense one 
A5 
Shook his head said, "Bubba Boy," 
A5 
"You was always a dense one." 
A5 
Reckless discharge of a gun 
A5 
That's what the officers are claiming 
A5 
Bubba hollered, "Reckless! Hell!"  
 A5 
"I shot just where I was aiming." 
 
CHORUS: 
A5                         E5    A5      
Bubba shot the juke box last night

Said it played a sad song it made him cry 
 A5                            E5    D5                                  
Went to his truck and got a forty five

D5                        A5 
Well he could not tell right from wrong 
  E5                           A5 
Through the teardrops in his eyes 
D5                      A5 
Beyond a shadow of a doubt 
          E5          E5      A5 
It was justifiable homicide 
A5                         D5               A5 
Bubba shot the juke box stopped it with one shot 
A5                        E5    A5 
Bubba shot the jukebox last night
