Intro:  G E E D E E G E E D A G E E D E E G E E D A  
(the E chord is written twice to show the beat)

E
So you're tired and beat
E
And you've worked all week
E
And you need a place you can let it  go.
E
Where the girls go wild
E
And the boys play hard
                                E7
And you need a little more than just the radio.
                 A                D
Well here's your open invitation
            A                     D
With just a couple regulations.
       E
Let me warn you son, only come to have fun
                          E7
We don't take kindly to serious.
              G
So leave your troubles at the door
           A            A7
Unless you want some in here.


           E                   G
Welcome to my house, buckle up tight
          A                 D        A
Everybody sings and drinks, laughs & gets high.
       E                G                   A
It's a country music, a little soul, it's a rock 'n roll  rodeo.
         D   E               G      
We don't tolerate no sitting around
            A                                   
Everybody's dancin', groovin' and getting on down.
   C                                         D
So before you come in here with some kind of attitude
                                 G E E D E E G E E D A  (use intro beat)
You better read the house rules.


       E
Around eleven o'clock when the front door locks
E
And the boys start raising the bottle.
E
Where the girls do the thing with the Mardis Gras beads
                                              E7
Yeah, You know they're gonna show 'em if they got 'em.
   A                   D   A                   A7
No matter what your story, a good time is mandatory.
     E
Well rule number 7 says don't touch the women
                                E7
But they can grab whatever they want to.

No such thing as last call.
            A
We pick' em up when they fall .

We share the same bathroom stall,
