Intro: (E)  (E)  (E)  (E) 
 
Well the (E) door's open at 7 
And the crowd is filing through 
Somebody dropped my guitar 
And I can't find my left boot 
There's a (A) genius runnin' monitors 
And (E) he ain't got a (A) clue 
Well, what (G) would (A) Wayl(G)on (E) do 
 
There's (E) blue cheese in the green room 
What are we supposed to eat 
And the openin' act's a Polka band 
And they can't keep a beat 
The (A) promoter wants a second show 
And he's (E) copped an attit(A)ude 
Well, what (G) would (A) Wayl(G)on (E) do 
 
  Kick in the (E) door - shoot out the lights 
  Scare the (A) fool out of the soundman 
  With a "hoss, let's get this (E) right" 
  Bring down the (E) house, with the Waymore (A) Blues 
  Oh, what (G) would (A) Wayl(G)on (E) do 
 
Now the (A) sheriff's got the drug dogs 
Tearin' up our bus 
We're (E) just hillbilly singers 
I think he's profilin' us 
(A) Now he wants an autograph 
And a free t-shirt or two 
Well, (E) what would Waylon (B) do 
 
  Kick in the (E) door - shoot out the lights 
  Scare the (A) dog out of the soundman 
  With a "hoss, let's get this (E) right" 
  Bring down the (E) house, with the Waymore (A) Blues 
  Oh, what (G) would (A) Wayl(G)on (E) do 
 
Now the (E) drummer's just informed us 
That we ain't gettin' paid 
They'll send a check out Monday 
No..the hell you say! 
Who would (A) that old outlaw strangle 
If he were in our shoes 
What (G) would (A) Wayl(G)on (E) do 
 
  Kick in the (E) door - shoot out the lights 
  Scare the (A) pants off of the soundman 
  With a "hoss, let's get this (E) right" 
  Bring down the (E) house, with the Waymore (A) Blues 
  Oh, what (G) would (A) Wayl(G)on (E) do 
  Bring down the (E) house, with the Waymore (A) Blues 
  Oh, what (G) would (A) Wayl(G)on (E) do 
  Yeah, what (G) would (A) Way(G)more (E) do
