Break The Rules
         (Rossi/Young/Parfitt/Coghlan/Lancaster) 

        G5
Spent a long long evening in a low down honky-tonk bar
        G5
Pulled a low down lady with a long black honky-tonk car
  C5
I asked no questions, got no lies,
  C5                     D5              G5
I walked off with her, I didn't want any ties
    D5               G5
And I knew it wasn't right
    D5               F5  D5    C5    Bb5 G5
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules.

        G5
Took me down on the highway doin' too may miles an hour
        G5
By that way she motor-talked we might have made the Eiffel Tower.
    C5
She stopped her motor by her own front door,
  C5                 D5                 G5
I knew she'd done it so many times before
    D5
And I was offered the floor.
    D5               F5  D5    C5    Bb5 G5
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules.


First Solo: Guitar (I don't know this solo, sorry!)

  G5
I woke up next morning feeling kind of up and down
    G5
Cos I did not know if I was in or out of town
       C5
Then I saw the face from the night before
                    D5                    G5
Purse was empty and lying there on the floor
    D5                   G5
But like I told you before
     D5               F5  D5    C5    Bb5 G5
That everybody has to sometimes break the rules

        G5
Spent a low down evening sitting high on a honky-tonk stool.
      G5
And I spent my money like a low down honky-tonk fool.
    D5               F5  D5    C5    Bb5 G5
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules
    D5               F5  D5    C5    Bb5 G5
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules
    D5               F5  D5    C5    Bb5 G5
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules
