INTRO      G5
F5
I was sitting on a bar stool 
C5                  G5   C5   G5
In a barbecue joint in Tennessee 
F5
When this ole boy walked in 
C5                  D5       D5
And he sat right down next to me 
E5                                                  C5    F5   C5
I could tell he?d been through some hard Times 
E5                                        C5    F5   C5
There were tearstains on his old shirt 
F5
And he said "ya wanna know what ya get 
C5                                           G5
When you play a country song backwards?" 

CHORUS
G5
Ya get your house back 
Ya get your dog back 
Ya get your best friend Jack back 
Ya get your truck back 
Ya get your hair back 
Ya get your first and second wives back 
C5
Your front porch swing 
Your pretty little thing 
Your bling bling bling 
And a diamond ring 
G5
Your get your farm and a barn and the boat And the harley 
First night in jail with Charlie 
D5
Sounds a little crazy, a little scattered And absurd 
G5
But that?s what you get
When you play a Country song backwards 

VERSE 2
C5
Well I never heard it said quite like that 
G5
It hit me in the face 'cause that?s where I'm at 
C5
I almost fell flat out on the floor 
D5
He said "Wait a minute, that?s not all There's even more" 

CHORUS 2
G5
Ya get your mind back 
Your nerves back 
Your first heart attack back 
You get your pride back, 
You get your life back 
You get your first real love back 
C5
You get your big screen tv, 
A dvd and a washing machine 
G5
You get the pond and the lawn 
The bail and the mower 
You get to go back where you 
Don?t know her 
D5
It sounds a little crazy 
A little scattered and absurd 
G5
But that?s what you get 
When you play a country song backwards

VERSE 3
C5
We sat there and shot the bull 
About how it would be 
D5  D5                  D5   D5
If we could turn it all around 
And change this C-R - A-P

Ya get your dog back Ya get your best friend Jack back 
Ya get your truck back 
Ya get your hair back 
Ya get your first and second wives back

Your pretty little thing 
Your bling bling bling 
And a diamond ring 
G5
Your get your farm and a barn
And the boat And the harley 
First night in jail with Charlie 
Ya get your mind back 
Your nerves back 
Your first heart attack back 
You get your pride back, 
You get your life back 
You get your first real love back 
C5
You get your big screen tv, 
A dvd and a washing machine 
G5
You get the pond and the lawn 
The bail and the mower 
You get to go back where you 
Don?t know her

It sounds a little crazy 
A little scattered and absurd 
G5
But that?s what you get 
When you play a country song backwards!
