Intro: G  D  G 

verse 1 
G                               D 
Sittin' here, thinkin' 'bout the fix I'm in 
        F                           C 
Ain't no time to write a line, is it ever gonna end? 
G                            D 
Spent my whole mornin' at the corner store 
      F                             C 
Just a-smokin' and a-jokin' with the kid next door 
G                           D 
Gettin' aggravated 'cause my mind's gone dead 
          F                                 C                    Bb  Am  D  G 
Think I'll have a little drink and then just jump right into bed 

verse 2 
G                          D 
Ridin' down the street in a big ol' Cadillac 
        F                       C 
Seems to me that yesterday is at least a mile back 
G                       D 
Havin' such a good time, havin' so much fun 
      F                                C 
Just a-dancin' and a-drinkin', probably never get done 
G                        D 
Then all at once I hear a ringin' in my ears 
        F                               C                 Bb  Am  D  G 
Guess it must've been a dream 'cause I'm still right here 

Em                   C 
Come one day, I'll be leavin' this old country town 
Em                   C               D 
Come one day, I'll be headin' for the city 
F                                 C 
Havin' fun and drinkin' some, everything's gonna work out fine 
G                            C            D 
One day I'll come back again, if I get the time 

verse 3 
G                       D 
Eatin' maple candy underneath the maple tree 
      F                             C 
Just a-sittin' in the shade thinkin' what I wanna be 
G                       D 
Maybe some day I'll be a movie star 
F                       C 
Kissin' pretty girls and drivin' fancy cars 
G                     D 
Then everybody's gonna be so proud of me 
        F                  C                       Bb  Am  D  G 
Say they knew it all along, just you wait and see

G                            D 
Spent my whole mornin' at the corner store
