I was (F) sitting on a bar stool 
In a (C) barbecue joint in Tenne(G)ssee 
When this (F) old boy walked in 
And he (C) sat right down next to (D) me (D#dim)
I could (Em) tell he'd been through some hard (C) times 
There were (Em) tear stains on his old (Asus4) shirt (A7) 
And he (F) said "you wanna know what you get 
When you (C) play a country song back(G)wards" 

You get your (G) house back 
You get your dog back 
You get your best friend Jack back 
You get your truck back 
You get your hair back 
You get your first and second wife back (G7)
Your (C) front porch swing 
Your pretty little thing 
Your bling bling bling and a diamond ring 
Your get your (G) farm with a barn and a boat and the Harley 
First nite in jail with Charlie 
(D) Sounds a little crazy, a little scattered and absurd 
(G) That's what you get when you (NC) play a country song backwards 

Well (C) I never heard it said quite like that 
It (G) hit me in the face cause that's where I'm at 
I (C) almost fell flat out on the floor 
He said (D) wait a minute that's not all there's even more 

You get your (G) mind back 
And your nerves back 
Your first heart attack back 
You get your pride back 
You get your life back 
You get your first real love back (G7)
You get your (C) big screen tv, dvd and washing machine 
You get the (G) phone and the lawn and the bed and the mower 
You go back where you don't know her 
It (D) sounds a little crazy a little scattered and absurd 
But (G) that's what you get 
When you (NC) play a country song backwards 

Fiddle Solo

Steel Solo

(C) We sat there and shot the bull
About how it would be
If we could (D) turn it all around
And (NC) change this C R A P

You get your (G) house back 
You get your dog back 
You get your best friend Jack back 
You get your truck back 
You get your hair back 
You get your first and second wife back (G7)
Your (C) front porch swing 
Your pretty little thing 
Your bling bling bling and a diamond ring 
Your get your (G) farm with a barn and a boat and the Harley 
First nite in jail with Charlie 
You get your (G) mind back 
And your nerves back 
Your first heart attack back 
You get your pride back 
You get your life back 
You get your first real love back (G7)
You get your (C) big screen tv, dvd and washing machine 
You get the (G) phone and the lawn and the bed and the mower 
You go back where you don't know her 
It (D) sounds a little crazy a little scattered and absurd 
But (NC) that's what you get 
When you (NC) play a country song backwards
