INTRO: G Em C G 
 

VERSES: 
G                Em 
This song it was written down 
     C                    G      
In a pea green windowless room   
                     Em 
Four o'clock and the TV's dead 
A7                       D 
Wired up with nothin' to do 
G                     G7 
Drunk all my whiskey, smoked all my beer 
C             A 
Already gone, just got here 
G                Em        
An old hairy ass hillbilly 
             C             G  Em C G 
Still up and hangin' on 
 
CHORUS: 
C       D                  G 
Takes a friend to make you laugh  
C             G 
A slap on the back  
C           D                        G    G7 
Someone who knows right where you're at 
C           D    Em                    C 
A friend in town who just heard you're around 
G          D                      C 
Came by to see how you're gettin' along 
G Em C G
