Good Ol' Boys

("The Dukes Of Hazzard" Theme)

Words & Music:

Waylon Jennings.

 

This is transcribed in the August 2005 issue of Guitar One.

 

B7    E

 

                  E                      A

Just two good ol' boys, never meaning no harm.

       E                        B7

Beats all you ever saw, been in trouble with the law

                        E

Since the day they were born.

 

Straight in the curves, flat on the hills.

Someday the mountain might get' em,

But the law never will.

 

CHORUS:  [2x]

B7

Making their way, The only way they know how.

                                                  E

That's just a little bit more than the law will allow.

 

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE:

 

CHORUS:

 

I'm a good ol' boy; you know my mama loves me.

But she don't understand, they keep a-showin' my hands

And not my face on T.V.

 

OUTRO: [solo over verse chords and out]
