G
Well I walked into a bar with my hat pulled way down low
C G
I just hit town and there ain't nobody I know
G
The smoke was kinda thick but the scene was pretty cool
C G C C
So I grabbed a beer and thought I'd shoot some pool
D G
Yeah just then the barmaid, she walked up and she called me out
C D G
She said, "Cowboy why you got your hat pulled down?"
Chorus:
C G
I said, "Underneath this hat, well there's a devil standin' tall
G D
And an angel on my shoulder to make me guilty for it all
C G
I said underneath this hat, well there's a Texan standin' proud
D C G
And there's a beggar just lookin' for a crown"
Well I walked into a church one Sunday mornin' late
Tryin' to figure out what made me go astray
The preacher was preachin' 'bout some brimstone and fire
And where I was goin' if I didn't change my way
Just then he called me out, he said, "Son, why don't you come on down?
Dry those tears and pull off that hat you got pulled down"
Chorus 2:
I said "Preacher, underneath this hat, well there's a devil standin' tall
And an angel on my shoulder to make me guilty for it all
I said underneath this hat, well there's a Texan standin' proud
And there's a sinner tryin' to get Heaven bound"
Chorus 3:
And I said "Underneath this hat,Lord there's a devil standin' tall
And my mama on my shoulder tryin' to save me from it all
I said underneath this hat, well there's a Texan standin' proud
And there's a sinner tryin' to get Heaven bound"
Yeah I said, "There's a beggar just lookin' for a crown"
