Verse 1
G
Most of the favorite memories of
C
My boyhood days in Arkansas
G
Are scattered around an old wood stove
D
At a place we call John's
G
It was just an old tar paper shack
With a pump out front and
C
some junk out back
G
D
But inside there was always a
G
Hot cup of coffee
D
And a warm place around
G
the fire for anyone
John pumped gas for a living and
C
He fixed tires on the side
G
And I guess old John could fix most anything
D
If you didn't push it he'd try
G
And he gave me my first
C
Charge account for some gas
And financed my first date
G
Even fixed my old radio just
In case I got lucky
D
G
And wanted to park down by the lake
C
And among the carburetors and
The re-built generators
generators
G
I spent the whole night picking
On an old flattop guitar
C
John would play the fiddle and
G
I'd always sing a little
No there is no place to get filled
D
G
Up the way you could at John's
John taught me a whole lot about
C
Country music because he loved it
G
We'd sit up and listen to the
Grand Ole Opry every
D
Saturday night
Nobody would ever say a word
G
Not even during Martha White
C
And I was awfully young back then
But still I knew just why
G
That John closed the
shop the whole day
D
G
When we heard that Hank had died
There was something else special
About ole John
C
He had a way of making us
kids feel important
G
Simply by giving us a good
D
Clean place to hang out
Well I can still hear him saying
G
Pumping gas is a fever boys
C
It'll get in your blood and it'll make
Your face break out in a grin
G
Just to check old lady Hanson's oil
D
Or to help a stranded friend
