Verse 1:(Kris Kristofferson)
          D
	Sherry was a waitress

	At the only joint in town
             G
	She had a reputation
                                
	As a girl who'd been around
          D
	Down main street after midnight
                        
	Brand new pack of cigs
            G              
	A fresh one hanging from her lips
                
	A beer between her legs
            A    
	She'd ride down to the river
                         
	And meet with all her friends


Chorus:(all together)
             G
	The road goes on forever
                             D
	And the party never ends


Verse 2:(Willie Nelson)
          D 
	Sonny was a loner

	Bolder than the rest
            G
	He was goin' in the Navy

	But he couldn't pass the test
            D
	So he hung around town

	He sold a little pot
             G
	The law caught wind of Sonny

	One day he got caught
            A    
	But he was back in business
                                
	When they set him free again


Chorus.


Verse 3:(Waylon Jennings)
          D 
	Sonny's playin' eight ball

	At the joint where Sherry works
          G  
	When some drunken out of towner

	Put his hand up Sherry's skirt
          D
	Sonny took his pool cue

	Laid the drunk out on the floor
          G
	Stuffed a dollar in her tip jar

	Walked on out the door
           A
	She's runnin' right behind him

	Reachin' for his hand


Chorus.


Verse 4:(Johnny Cash)

          D
	They jumped into his pick-up

	Sonny jammed her down in gear
          G 
	Sonny looked at Sherry

	Said,"Let's get out of here"
              D
	The stars were high above them

	The moon was in the east
             G
	The sun was setting on them

	When they reached Miami Beach
              A
	They got a motel by the water

	And a quart of Bombay Gin


Chorus.


Verse 5:(Kris Kristofferson)
          D
	They soon ran out of money

	But Sonny knew a man
             G
	Who knew some Cuban refugees

	Who dealt in contreband
          D
	Sonny met the Cuban

	In a house just off the route
          G
	With a briefcase full of money

	And a pistol in his boot
              A
	The cards were on the table

	When the law came bustin' in


Chorus.


Verse 6:(Willie Nelson)
             D  
	The Cubans grabbed the goodies

	And Sonny grabbed the jack
            G
	He broke the bathroom window

	And climbed on out the back
           D 
	Sherry drove the pick-up

	Through the alley on the side
          G 
	Where the lawman tackled Sonny

	And was reading him his rights
            A  
	She stepped out in the alley

	With a single shot four-ten


Chorus.


Verse 7:(Waylon Jennings)
          D
	They left the lawman dyin'

	They made their get away
          G
	Got back to the motel

	Just before the break of day
           D
	Sonny gave her all the money

	And he blew a little kiss
             G
	If they ask you how this happened

	Say i forced you into this
              A 
	She watched him as his tail lights

	Disappeared around the bend


Chorus.


Verse 8:(Johnny Cash)
          D 
	There's main street after midnight

	Just like it was before
           G
	Twenty-one months later

	At the local grocery store
           D
	Sherry buys a paper

	And a cold six pack of beer
              G
	The headlines read that Sonny

	Is going to the chair
              A
	She pulls back onto main street

	In her new Mercedes-Benz


Chorus.
