Verse 
D                Bm 
This song it was written down 
     G                    D 
In a pea green windowless room 
                     Bm 
Four o'clock and the TV's dead 
E7                       A 
Wired up with nothin' to do 
  D                      D7 
I drunk all my whiskey I smoked all my beer 
    G              D 
I'm already gone I just got here 
                 Bm 
An old hairy ass hillbilly 
             G          D 
Still up and hangin' on 

Instrumental 
D Bm G D 

D                      Bm 
Made me think of a Sim ilar time 
       G                   D 
In the Tropicannibal motel 
                     Bm 
Takin' showers 'bout every hour 
         E7                         A 
'Cause I wasn't really feelin' well 
     D                     D7 
Well in walked the Alabama Leanin' Man 
    G               D 
His ol' buddy Billy Swann 
                  Bm 
Two old hairy ass hillbillies 
             G          D 
Still up and hangin' on 

Chorus 
G       A                  D 
Takes a friend to make you laugh 
G             D    Bm          A 
A slap on the back someone who knows 
Right where you're at 
G           A    Bm                    G 
A friend in town who just heard you're around 
D       A                      G 
Came by see how you're gettin' along

Verse 
D              Bm 
Most people go out to clubs 
        G               D 
Just to see an electric dildo 
                    Bm 
A human jutebox who loves to play 
      E7                    A 
Every single song they know 
D                          D7 
But they don't care if you blow your soul 
G                         D 
They usually stand up and tell you so 
                         Bm 
And leave that hairy ass hillbilly 
             G          D 
Still up and hangin' on

Verse 
D                   Bm 
So wherever you may be tonight 
G               D 
I wish you luck 
                  Bm 
You may be with a friend of yours 
             E7                       A 
And may your friend be your lady love 
D                       D7 
But if you gotta go and do a show 
G                         D 
And afterwards you got no where to go 
                        Bm 
You're just a hairy ass hillbilly

Still up and hangin' on

A slap on the back someone who knows 
Right where you're at

A friend in town who just heard you're around 
D       A                      G 
Came by see how you're gettin' along
