quick note: for the / chords, you want the bass note to be on the D string and the following three chords in E barre chord form. If not, at least make sure the voicings have the chromatic line. In the first verse it's F#, G, Ab, A for example. Also, I don't know why the chord diagram things F#/A# are two different chords. It's F# with A# in the bass D (xx0232@1) Anever (x02220@1)put your hat on the bed, son, never put your hat on the bed D (xx0232@1) D/F# (200232@1) G (320003@1) Abcuz (xx1114@1)if your hat's on the bed you might wake up dead A (x02220@1) Dso (xx0232@1)don't ya never put ya hat on the bed Aand (x02220@1)if you do be sure it's upside down, son, if you do be sure it's upside down D (xx0232@1) D/F# (200232@1) G (320003@1) Abcuz (xx1114@1)if there's any doubt, it keeps the luck from runnin' out A (x02220@1) Dso (xx0232@1)if you do be sure it's upside down Anever (x02220@1)throw a match when it's dry, son, never throw a match when it's dry D (xx0232@1) D/F# (200232@1) G (320003@1) Abdon't (xx1114@1)you never throw a match cuz the grass might catch A (x02220@1) Dand (xx0232@1)burn three counties when it's dry Aalways (x02220@1)keep an edge on your knife, son, always keep an edge on your knife D (xx0232@1) D/F# (200232@1) G (320003@1) Ab (xx1114@1) A (x02220@1) Dcuz (xx0232@1)a good sharp edge is a man's best hedge against the vague uncertainties of life D (xx0232@1) D/F# (200232@1) G (320003@1) Ab (xx1114@1) A (x02220@1) Dyes, (xx0232@1)a good sharp edge is a man's best hedge against the uncertain vagaries of life D (xx0232@1) F#m (244222@1) Bm (x24432@1) Gbut (320003@1)I never could sharpen no knife, like the one who gave the advice D (xx0232@1) A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1) A (x02220@1) Dyodel-ayhee (xx0232@1) yodel-ayhee yodeloo E (022100@1) Bnever (x2444x@1)sell the old .22, son, never sell the old .22 E (022100@1) E/G# (143121@4) A (x02220@1) Bbcause (x1333x@1)the old .22's shot a gopher or two B (x2444x@1) Eso (022100@1)don'tcha never sell the old .22 Baim (x2444x@1)it to the left, a little low, son, aim it to the left, a little low E (022100@1) E/G# (143121@4) A (x02220@1) Bbcuz (x1333x@1)the old iron sight fires high and to the right B (x2444x@1) EEb Eso (022100@1)aim it to the left, a little low Balways (x2444x@1)tip the glass when you pour son, always tip the glass when you pour E (022100@1) E/G# (143121@4) A (x02220@1) Bbcuz (x1333x@1)if you don't tip the glass, well the foam, it comes fast B (x2444x@1) Eand (022100@1)runs from the table to the floor Balways (x2444x@1)keep an edge on your knife, son, always keep an edge on your knife E (022100@1) E/G# (143121@4) A (x02220@1) Bb (x1333x@1) B (x2444x@1) Ecuz (022100@1)a good sharp edge is a man's best hedge against the vague uncertainties of life E (022100@1) E/G# (143121@4) A (x02220@1) Bb (x1333x@1) B (x2444x@1) Eyes, (022100@1)a good sharp edge is a man's best hedge against the uncertain vagaries of life E (022100@1) G#m (133111@4) C#m (x13321@4) Abut (x02220@1)I never could sharpen no knife, like the one who gave me advice E (022100@1) B (x2444x@1) E (022100@1) B (x2444x@1) Eyodel-ayhee (022100@1) yodel-ayhee yodeloo F# E# F# E# F# yes, that makes sense. call if F if you want) F# (244322@1) C#always (x43121@1)put your horse away dry, son, always put your horse away dry F# (244322@1) F#/A# B (x2444x@1) Ccuz (x32010@1)a hot, wet horse ain't healthy of course C# (x43121@1) F#so (244322@1)be sure to put your horse away dry C#and (x43121@1)be sure to thaw the bit when it's cold, son, be sure to thaw the bit when it's cold F# (244322@1) F#/A# B (x2444x@1) Ccuz (x32010@1)if you don't thaw the bit then your pony's tongue sticks C# (x43121@1) F#to (244322@1)the frozen, metal bridle when it's cold C#never (x43121@1)judge a man by his clothes, son, never judge a man by his clothes F# (244322@1) F#/A# B (x2444x@1) Cyou (x32010@1)got to look through the dirt and, lord, judge him by his work C# (x43121@1) F#so (244322@1)don'tcha never judge a man by his clothes C#always (x43121@1)keep an edge on your knife, son, always keep an edge on your knife F# (244322@1) F#/A# B (x2444x@1) C (x32010@1) C# (x43121@1) F#cuz (244322@1)a good sharp edge is a man's best hedge against the vague uncertainties of life F# (244322@1) F#/A# B (x2444x@1) C (x32010@1) C# (x43121@1) F#yes, (244322@1)a good sharp edge is a man's best hedge against the uncertain vagaries of life F# (244322@1) A#m (x13321@1) D#m (xx4342@1) Bbut (x2444x@1)I never could sharpen no knife, like the one who gave me advice F# (244322@1) C# (x43121@1) F# (244322@1) C#yodel-ayhee (x43121@1) yodel-ayhee yodeloo F# (244322@1) A#m (x13321@1)D#m (xx4342@1) Band (x2444x@1)I never could sharpen no blade, quite the way he sayed F# (244322@1) C# (x43121@1) F# (244322@1) C#yodel-ayhee (x43121@1) yodel-ayhee yodeloo F# (244322@1) C# (x43121@1) F#yodel-ayhee (244322@1)yodel-ayhee yodel-ayhee yodel-ayhee yodelohoo
