Out Behind The Barn

   G                          D7
My Daddy used to tan my hide, Out Behind the Barn
                             G
He taught me to be dignified Out Behind the Barn
 C
When he took his strap to me
    G
And turned me down across his knee
   D7                                       G
He sure missed up my dignity, Out Behind the Barn

cho
    G                D7
  I got my education Out Behind the Barn
                              G
     I ain't a foolin' no sir-eeee
                          D7
  Passed each examination Out Behind the Barn
                                     G
     And it almost made a man out of me

 G                          D7
I smoked my first cigarette Out Behind the Barn
                                  G
And that's one day I won't forget Out Behind the Barn
 C
I got sick you should have seen
    G
How that tobacco turned me green
  D7                                     G
I almost died of nicotine Out Behind the Barn


  G                         D7
I met a pretty girl one day Out Behind the Barn
                               G
She wanted me to stay and play Out Behind the Barn
 C
She taught me to kiss and pet
 G
That's a game I can't forget
      D7                                              G
Cause we still play that same game yet Out Behind the Barn

cho

     G                        D7
I'm glad that I can go again Out Behind the Barn
                                  G
And do the things that I did then Out Behind the Barn
    C
Now you might think it ain't no fun
   G
To be a poor ole farmers son
 D7                                              G
You don't know what all I've done Out Behind the Barn

    G                D7
  I got my education Out Behind the Barn
                                     G
     and it made a better man out of me,
            D7                         G
     and it almost made a wreck out of me.
