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

CHORUS
G
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 
C
Your front porch swing 
Your pretty little thing 
Your bling bling bling 
And a diamond ring 
G
Your get your farm and a barn and the boat And the harley 
First night in jail with Charlie 
D
Sounds a little crazy, a little scattered And absurd 
G
But that?s what you get
When you play a Country song backwards 

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

CHORUS 2
G
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 
C
You get your big screen tv, 
A dvd and a washing machine 
G
You get the pond and the lawn 
The bail and the mower 
You get to go back where you 
Don?t know her 
D
It sounds a little crazy 
A little scattered and absurd 
G
But that?s what you get 
When you play a country song backwards

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

Your pretty little thing 
Your bling bling bling 
And a diamond ring

Your nerves back 
Your first heart attack back 
You get your pride back,

You get your first real love back

A dvd and a washing machine

You get to go back where you 
Don?t know her

It sounds a little crazy 
A little scattered and absurd

But that?s what you get 
When you play a country song backwards!
