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.
