Intro.:  |(D)(D/A)| x 4

(D) Hey you were standing by the screen door slamming
Rather clear what's taking (A)place
You were holding on to Louie, he was packing
He was heavy that plastic handle just about to (D)break

Well then (D) you picked up Chloe, she knew y'all were going
She started barking like a (G)tank
I was (A)shocked and I was joking, but I would not be longing
'Cause I got Jim and Jack and (D)Hank

(Chorus)
Take your (G) string bikinis, your apple martinis
(D) Take what's left there in the bank
Take your (G)flat iron and your curlers, your sparkling water
And that (D) damn perfume I never (A)liked
Take your (D) black Mercedes, all that stuff for ladies
To me you're just a total (G)blank
Go on and leave me, baby, (D) I don't need you
I got (A) Jim and Jack and (D)Hank

Well now, (D) you left screaming and your tires screeching
That little dog right in your (A)lap
I have become a little sad and I called up my old Dad
He said son you just woke me from my (D)nap


I told (D) him, "You had left me" he said, "Now son, don't you hate me
You know exactly what I (G)think
You know (A) you're better off, you can fish and you can golf
You still got Jim and Jack and (D)Hank"

(Chorus)
Take your (G) string bikinis, your apple martinis
(D) Take what's left there in the bank
Take your (G)flat iron and your curlers, your sparkling water
And that (D) damn perfume I never (A)liked
Take your (D) black Mercedes, all that stuff for ladies
To me you're just a total (G)blank
Go on and leave me, baby, (D) I don't need you
I got (A) Jim and Jack and (D)Hank

Solo:  / / That's /right |(D) |(D) |(A) |(A) |(A) |(A) |(D) |
         |(D) |(D) |(D) |(G) |(A) |(A) |(A) |(D) |(D)

So I (D) got out the whiskey I began to listen
To songs out in my truck you couldn't (A)crank

I started feeling empty, then again it hit me ---
I got Jim and Jack and (D)Hank

(Chorus)
Take your (G) string bikinis, your apple martinis
(D) Take what's left there in the bank
Take your (G)flat iron and your curlers, your sparkling water
And that (D) damn perfume I never (A)liked

Take your (D) black Mercedes, all that stuff for ladies
To me you're just a total (G)blank
Go on and leave me, baby, (D) I don't need you
I got (A) Jim and Jack and (D)Hank

(Tag)
Yeah now, (G) go on and leave me, baby, (D) I don't need you
I got (A) Jim and Jack and (D)Hank

(Talken through out on the key in (D))
(D) Oh, that's right, you go ahead, I'll be A okay, 'cause I got Jose, Captain Morgan
Not to mention Old George and Tammy, Loretta, Merle, Willie Nelson, big John Cash
How about Old Jimmy Buffet bring him in there when it's sun shining
George Strait, an old friend, can't forget Hank Jr. and all his rowdy friends
I'm gonna clean out the whole closet, baby
Oh yeah --- Goodbye (D) -----
