G G
Early afternoon when the sun goes down
G G
the cowboys saddle up and ride to town
C D G G
to a run down bar outside of Marfa
G G
It was a honky-tonk heaven yeah I shouted from above
G G
At the best lookin' hookers next to lonesome dove
C D G G
Check your guns at the door, I wanna see ole Marla
CHORUS:
D D
Where the beer bottles bust on the hardwood floors
C C
And the cowboys ride through the swinging doors
D D
Blood on the kuckles of a fighting man
C C G G
Cause I caught me the devil, another crooked hand
D D
It was a lonesome lady on a Friday night
C C
With the fishnet stockings comin' to her thigh
D D
It's a wild- ass bar fight, get down hoe down
C C
Howlin' at the moon, Wishbone Saloon
G G G G C D G G
The cowboys whistle as the barmaid pours
A triple shot of whiskey for the girls on the floor
Now they're dancin' on the bar, all up in the air
And the jukebox jumps through a smoke ring singing
a Bob Wills tune to the cowboys saying
hey barmaid honey, bring us another round.
Chorus
(this verse is kind of slowed and strummed differently)
G G
It's ealry in the mornin' better get to going
G G C D G G
Rooster's crowin', got work to do
G G
The barbwire's down and the cows are gettin' out
G G C D G G
Gotta catch em fast, before the boss finds out
CHORUS
