Key: C

Introduction:

           C                                 F                               C 
Twenty dollars out of momma's purse bought us a tank of gas
                                                 F                             C             G 
And a pack of tobacco when, we was just teenage kids.
 C                             F                         C 
Me and Jack and Danny we'd go driving round
                                           F                                                 C 
If there was trouble to be found, heh, then we found it quick.
                   Am                         G                                     C 
Chuckin' donuts in the fields ?till old man Smith would call the cops
                             Am                                 G 
And he'd come running out with a shotgun ?cause we was
 C 
Running down his crops.
       Dm                                   Em                 F                       G 
And I reckon he's still wonderin who that was,
                                        C       F       G       C       F       G 
That was us.
                           C                                 F                                 C 
Some of these local boys moved on but we never changed a bit
                         F                                                                       C                   G 
Never had a scrap of sense, at least that's what some folks said.
                 C                           F                                 C 
Yeah we finally turned old enough to buy our own beer
                                 F                                                               C 
Don't remember about that year, just lucky that we're not dead.
               Am                       G                                 C 
?Cause somebody said they saw some boys with a ute looked just like mine
                               Am                                   G                                   C 
Trying to pull down that old water tank that sits out by the railway line.
               Dm                         Em                           F                         G 
People wonder why it leans the way it does.
                              C       F       G 
That was us.
                   Am                                   G                                         C 
Seems like small towns never change but things get tough when times get hard
                   Am                           G                           C 
And they say when he got sick, old man Smith would have lost that farm
                               Am                 G                                 C 
?Cause he was getting way behind on all his bills
               Am                                               G                                 C 
But someone came and brought his crops in from the fields
 Dm                                                     Em                                   F               G 
Yeah folks ?round here still don't know who that was
                          C       F       G 
That was us.
                   Am                         G                                       C 
  Cuttin' donuts in the fields ?till old man Smith would call the cops
                             Am                                 G 
And he'd come running out with a shotgun ?cause we was
 C 
Running down his crops.
 Am                                 G                                       C 
Somebody said they saw some boys with a ute looked just like mine
                     Am                                               G                         C 
Trying to pull down that old water tank that sits out by the railway line.
