Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
G D

Verse 1:
D
Well tonight I'm up in Chillicothe
             A
Down-wind from the paper mill

I'm out here spittin' on the sidewalk
           D
Taking in the factory smells

Heaven knows she tends to smokin' up a window
             A
In the air that gas pipe leak

I wonder if she's cringing at the same time
              D
Thinking pretty thoughts of me

Verse 2:
D
I was up for hours this morning
                A
Pulling traps before I said goodbye

I plan to tan myself a fox hide
             D
And hang it on my darling bride

Cause they tell me that it's gonna be a big one
            A
And the snow is settin' in

And I don't want her cold while I ain't at home
          D
The way that I have been

Chorus:
G            D
Spending my nights in a bar room, Lord
            G
Turnin' them songs into two-by-fours
A  N.C.            A N.C.
Dreaming 'bout the day that I'm sitting by the fire
A N.C.            A  A  D
Huddlin' with my honey in the Country Squire

Verse 3:
D
Well tomorrow we hit the country music highway
          A
On our way to Circleville

We're off to do some weekend warring
               D
While we sing and drink our fill

And when I ain't out playing on my six-string
          A
With the nickels I acquire

I'm trying to fix her up a castle
            D
It's called the Country Squire

Verse 4:
D
It's a twenty-four-foot-long vessel
          A
Measures eight feet wide

It's a fifty-three-year-old camper
         D
It's made to pull behind

And I've gutted to the studs and the rafters
                A
And I'm building back piece by piece

I'm trying to fix her up a temple
           D
My lady of the Estill Springs

Chorus:
G            A
Spending my nights in a bar room, Lord
D            G
Turnin' them songs into two-by-fours
A  N.C.             A  N.C.
Dreaming 'bout the day that I'll sit by the fire
A N.C.           A  A  D
Huddled with my honey in our Country Squire

Instrumental:
D E B E B E

Verse 5:
E
One day I aim to have myself a family
          B
And a cabin on the hill

And I might have to come off of the highway
            E
To help with the family bills

But when the kids've got a little older
          B
On the day that I retire

I'll take her somewhere warm for the winter
          E
Pulling our Country Squire

Chorus:
E
Spending my nights in a bar room, Lord
            A
Turnin' them songs into two-by-fours
B  N.C             B  N.C
Dreaming 'bout the day that I'll sit by the fire
B N.C.           E
Huddled with my honey in our Country Squire
B  N.C.             B N.C.
Dreaming 'bout the day that I'll sit by the fire
B N.C.           B  B  E
Huddled with my honey in our Country Squire
