And all the G notes after the A notes can either be G 
or E (I'm not really sure) you can also alternate the chords 
 
 
(Verse 1) 
    E5                       G5 
Ol' Clarence was a corn-fed Sunday School teacher at the  
A5                    G5 
Cheap hill church of Christ  
  E5                            G5 
A god-fearin', fence-clearin', hay-slingin', hymn-singin'  
A5                       G5 
Back breaker all o' his life 
        E5 
Came in early one night  
          G5 
found his pretty wife 
       A5               G5 
in the arms of another man 
      E5                  G5                 A5        G5 
There hell to pay when a good ol' boy goes bad 
 
(Verse 2, same chords) 
 
In a smoke-filled late night club by the river 

sat a stranger dealin' five card stud 

He was a big-talkin' fast-walkin' fly by nighter 

There to take their money and run 

They caught the fella' cheatin' so they set him up a meetin' 

With his maker in the promise land 

Nobody sees a thing when a good ol' boy goes bad 
 
(Chorus) 
         E5                 G5 
The good book goes out the window  
         A5                G5 
When the gloves go to the floor 
    E5                   G5 
His give a damn to be a righteous man 
      A5              G5 
Don't give a damn no more 
E5               G5 
Under that blue collar  
     A5                G5 
is a big ol' long red path 
     E5                   G5 
That hides the truth but it bleeds through 
       A5                 E5 
When a good ol' boy goes bad 
 
(Verse 3) 
 
Now old man Taylor was a fourth generation  

Crop growin' son of a gun 

One dry summer Uncle Sam come a runnin' 

Wantin' money but there wasn't none 

He put a crop in the holler, when night came he watered 

by fall he had the cold, hard cash 

When times get hard sometimes a good ol' boy goes bad 
 
(Repeat chorus 2x) 
   E5                   G5 
It hides the truth but it bleeds through 
       A5                 E5 
When a good ol' boy goes bad
