Hicktown Chords

  			   

Tuning notes:  

For the intro riff to sound right you have to downtune the low E string  
1 1/2 steps to Db (where 8th fret held down sounds like the A string-  
normal tuning 5th fret would sound like the A string)  

If you want to play the whole song with this tuning just don't hit the  
bottom string when you strum the chords (or use the formation for E and F#  
that's in the intro tab)

Verse 2:  
Well you can see the neighbors butt crack nailing on his shingles  
And his woman's smokin' Pall Malls watchin' Laura Ingalls  
And Granny's getting lit she's heading out to bingo  
Yeah my buddies and me are goin' muddin' down on Blue Hole Road  


REPEAT Chorus

Db                                                E-F#  
And they like to show off in their fancy foreign cars  
Db                                          E-F#  
Out here in the boondocks we buy beer at Amoco  
    Db  
And crank our Kraco speakers with that country radio  



REPEAT Chorus
