(No Capo)
Intro.: (G) 8 bars
He's (G)Cadillac Jack Favor and the name rings true
If (C)he's got a ride any stranger would too
The one (G)bad habit that his Ponder would say
Is (D)sure gonna put him through the trials one day
And (G)that's just what happened he took pity on two men
Heading (C)down to Louisiana, he stopped and let them in
And the (G)thanks he did for helping them
Would (D)make him wish he was busting broncs a-(G)gain
(Chorus)
He dropped them (C)off in Bossieer City where they (G)met up with a man
That (F)vagabond commitee barely (D)even had a plan
It was (G)just a simple robbery turned double (C)homicide ---
They (G)got away with murder it'd be (D)someone else's (G)hide
Solo: / / / |(G) |(G) |(G) |
(G)Almost two years come and gone they never solved that crime
'Til they (C)found one of our vagabonds already doing time
When that (G)jailbird started singing they all knew the words were wrong
But the (D)sheriff and the DA and the judge all sang along
They (G)pinned it on Jack Favor, gave him life without parole
Gave Jack's (C)freedom to the jailbird, payment on the lies he told
Just so (G)happens that election year (D)everybody payed out at the (G)polls
(Chorus)
Cadil-(C)lac's no fallen hero and he's (G)never gonna break
When it (F)comes to prison rodeo, there'll (D)be no easy eight
And if you (G)want the definition of the picture-(C)perfect frame ---
It'd be (G)in the dictionary under-(D)neath Jack Favor's (G)name |(G) |
Solo: |(G) |(G) |(G) |(G) |(C) |(C) |(C) |(C) |
|(G) |(G) |(D) |(D) |(G) |(G)
(Chorus)
Cadil-(C)lac's no fallen hero and he's (G)never gonna break
When it (F)comes to prison rodeo, there'll (D)be no easy eight
And if you (G)want the definition of the picture-perfect (C)frame ---
It'd be (G)in the dictionary under-(D)neath Jack Favor's (G)name |(G) |
(Tag)
Yeah, it's the (G)world's most crooked picture and when it comes to (F)being (C)framed ---
(G)Cadillac Jack Favor should be (D)in the hall of (G)fame
Outro.: (G) x repeat times
