Capo 5

           C
Well, it's hard to keep a white shirt clean
    F                       C
You boys likely know what I mean
    C                              A7
You live your life on the road and that's how it goes
     D7             G           C
It's hard to keep a white shirt clean


Well, it's hard to keep a white shirt clean
When you're in the band and making the scene
You spend all your time in funky old dives
It's hard to keep a white shirt clean


Chorus:
      F
Well, Willie P said he liked the crisp white lines
C
Willie said the ladies like it too
   D7
He said used to travel with a board and an iron
         G
Till his missus said you and me's thru

Well, it's hard to keep a white shirt clean
You boys likely know what I mean
Lipstick on the collar, a whoop and a holler
It's hard to keep a white shirt clean

It's hard to keep a white shirt clean
When it gets washed in with your jeans
A half a cup of bleach, in with the sheets
It's hard to keep a white shirt clean

Chorus

Well, it's hard to keep a white shirt clean
You boys likely know where I lean
It's just a little beer, now listen dear
It's hard to keep a white shirt clean

Solo

Chorus

It's hard to keep a white shirt clean
You boys likely know what I mean
You live your life on the road and that's how it goes
It's hard to keep a white shirt clean

You spend all your time in funky old dives
It's hard to keep a white shirt clean
The old mare's mean and horse s**t's green
It's hard to keep a white shirt clean
