[Intro]
N.C.
A-one, two, a-one, two, three
C

[Verse 1]
G7
Well he’s a poker-playing alligator
C
Tattooed, earrings bar[?]
G7
Likes his whiskey on the rocks
C
But the claws on his toes always tear his socks

[Pre-Chorus]
G7
He said them ragtime troubles, I’ve had ’em
C
One time when I was seventeen and sadder
G7
All the Joes used to call me fat
C
But I’m all grew up and my now jaws go clap

[Chorus]
F G C C7
Don’t let the bad times bring you down
F G C
One day you’ll outgrow the town

[Verse 2]
G7
Well he’s playing stud with the big, bad horses
C
Got arms like [?] and his voice is coarse
G7
He likes his bourbon nice and neat
C
But he can’t wear socks cause he ain’t got feet

[Pre-Chorus]
G7
He said them ragtime troubles, I’ve had ’em
C
One time when I was seventeen and sadder
G7
All the does laughed behind my back
C
But I grew bigger than the whole damn pack

[Chorus]
F G C C7
Don’t let the bad times bring you down
F G C
One day you’ll outgrow the town, alright

G7
Well, come on boy, if you’re feeling blue
C
Let it roll and do as you do
G7
I don’t know what’ll happen to you
C
But I’m sure you’re the man to fill the shoes
G7
Funny feet, everybody’s got ’em
C
Troubles, too, you know we all got ’em
G7
So let it roll, sing with me now
C
And show everybody what they don’t know how

[Chorus]
F G C C7
Don’t let the bad times bring you down
F G C C7
One day you’ll outgrow the town
F G C
One day you’ll outgrow the town
