Bills Laundromat Bar And Grill - Confederate Railroad

[Intro]
[G]

Verse 1:
[G] Well I was 3 days short of pulling out of Kingsport, I was [C] headed down to Houston [G] town
Had my [G] guitar packed in a burlap sack, For exp[A]loitin' my country [D] sound
I [G] bypassed Jackson, bypassed Memphis, By the [C] time I got to Arkan[G]sas
I'd a [G] sold my car and that black guitar, For [D] anything cool and [G] tall
Well I [C] pulled up to a neon sign on [G] highway 49, Shut the [C] engine down, took a look around
[D] Then I stepped inside

|[Chorus]
|I [G] asked that bouncer where I was, He said, [C] son yer at Bill's
|[D] Honky tonk pickin', linedance kickin', Razorback stickin', barbecue chicken
|Laundromat Bar and [G] Grill

Verse 2:
Well I [G] found old Bill sittin at the bar, With a [C] pistol and a change mach[G]ine
He was [G] dolin' out quarters to a waitress named Starr, When I [A] asked him if I could [D] sing
He said, [G] son go ahead if you brought yer guitar, Then he [C] pointed to the backstage [G] door
Said, [G] we don't allow original material, [D] 'Less it's been done [G] before

Pre-Chorus:
Well I [C] hit the stage like a big mule train, Told the [G] house band to play it in C
I sang the [C] Tennessee Waltz, Kentucky Rain, And the [D] one about the bird that's free

|[Chorus]
|[G] Lead guitar was like a chainsaw, That [C] fiddle like a power drill
|At Bill's [D] honky tonk pickin', linedance kickin', Razorback stickin', barbecue chicken
|Laundromat Bar and [G] Grill

[Instrumental]
[G] [C] [D] [D] [G]

Verse 3:
Well in the [G] 10 short minutes I was up on stage, Watched a [C] biker punch a cowboys [G] face
And with a [G] perfect view I was wittness to, The dest[A]ruction of the whole dang [D] place
It was [G] long neck stems and white fringed hems, Flying [C] out of that dark [G] saloon
And that [G] mechanical bull was reduced in full, To the [D] safest place in the [G] room

Pre-Chorus:
That [C] punched drunk cowboy showed his wife, That his [G] shirt was soaked with beer
She said, [C] calm down honey, have another light, 'Cause we [D] can wash yer shirt right here

|[Chorus]
|[G] Then the whole place stopped to thank me, For [C] bookin' my show at Bill's
|[D] Honky tonk pickin', linedance kickin', Razorback stickin', barbecue chicken
|Laundromat Bar and [G] Grill

[Outro]
[G] At Bill's [D] Honky tonk pickin', linedance kickin', Razorback stickin', barbecue chicken
Laundromat Bar and [G] Grill
