Verse 1
Well, there used to be (D major) this ol' guy
Named Woody,
and Woody was an Indian
Came from a town in Oklahoma called...
Bowlegs. (Yeah, buddy.)
And he used to have this saying,
He used to say when things got
real lousy (G major) (D major) (D minor) (D major)
I mean real lousy (D minor) (D major)
All you had to do was just put out the
Fire, (A major) call in the dogs, an' head it on
Back (D major) to Bowlegs

Some folks ride in a limousine while
(E major) Others drive them big ol' (A major) Peterbilt trucks
Just re (D major) member that ol' saying 'bout
the round (G major) holes and square pegs (E major)
An' just (A major) put (D major) out the fire,

There's no use tryin' (A major) to
be what you're not (D major) (A major)
You run on a treadmill and you'll
Get tired (D major) a lot. (G major) (Rhythmic breathing)
So why not take some advice (D major) from
(B minor) (D major) (G major) me?; (Ooh)
Even though I (A major) ain't no McCartney
(D major) (A major)

just try (E major) in' to make it rhyme (A major)
I'm (D major) a crazy drunk (A major) en (D major) fool,
and when I finish (G major) off this keg (E major)
I'm (D major) gonna piss on the fire,
(A major) Call in the dogs,

Yeah, well, we're (G major) gonna go to the Jerome's,
