A Half a mile from the Ecounty fair

And the Drain came pourin' Adown

A Me and Billy Estandin' there

With a Dsilver half a Acrown

AHands full of a Efishin' rods

And the Dtackle on our Abacks

AWe just stood there Egettin' wet

With our Dbacks against the Afence

Bm Oh, the wEater,

D Hope it don't rain all dAay

And it Astoned me Eto my soul D A

AStoned me just like EJelly Roll

And it Dstoned Ame

And it Astoned me Eto my soul D A

AStoned me just like Egoin' home

And it Dstoned Ame

Then the Arain let up, and the Esun came up

And our Dbodies were gettin' Adry

AAlmost let a Epick-up truck Dnearly pass us Aby

ASo we jumped right in and the Edriver grinned

And he Ddropped us up the Aroad

AWe saw the swim and we Ejumped right in

Not to Dmention the fishing Apoles

BmOh, the Ewater, (x3)

DFeel it run all over Ame

Chorus

AOn the way back home we were Esinging a song,

But our Dthroats were getting Edry

AThen we saw the man from Eacross the road

With the Dsunshine in his Aeyes

AWell he lived all alone in Ehis own little home

With a Dgreat big gallon Ajar

AThere were bottles too, one forE me and you,

And he Dsaid, "Hey! there you aAre"

Pleas

Key: EHard

C#m

In the key of E listen for these parts

EThey say turn the Bmbright lights on

A E (w/ a hammer-on at 2nd fret G)

And there you'll find the truth

EHere, open up thiBms book

AAnd now you'll find theE proof

EIt feels like a cBman of worms

AKeep the lid on tight, and they say

E Don't let it Dget C#mtoo Gbright (x3)

E No Dnot C#mthisD tiEme

DCD

CDE

EThey tell me iBmt takes sorrow, boy

ATo help you feeEl the joy

They say it takes poverty

To let you love a toy

Now you can't have the good

Until you've shared the bad

Don't let it get too sad (x3)

No, not this time, time

Back to D-C play. but this time Houser kicks on Distortion

towards the end of that part, and the chords go from G-C

listen and you'll see.

They say it takes hardship, boy

To let you love the rest

Sometimes underneath the load

Is where I show my best

Go, put your work clothes on

Go and leave your mark

And they say

Don't let it get too dark (x3)

No, not this time

the solo for this part:

then go back to the distortion G-C part

There's a little more to this too, but I don't have the ole

lute with me.

Whew, lots of parts, but hopefully you can figure it out.

Have fun!
