G Em C G


[Verse 1]
G                  Em
  This song it was written down
     C                    G
In a pea green windowless room
                     Em
Four o'clock and the TV's dead
A7                       D
Wired up with nothin' to do
  G                      G7
I drunk all my whiskey I smoked all my beer
    C              A7
I'm already gone I just got here
G      G/F#       Em
 An old hairy ass hillbilly
             C          G  Em  C  G
Still up and hangin' on


[Verse 2]
G                     Em
Made me think of a similar time
       C             G
In the Tropicannibal motel
                     Em
Takin' showers 'bout every hour
         A7                      D
'Cause I wasn't really feelin' well
     G                     G7
Well in walked the Alabama Leanin' Man
    C               A7
His ol' buddy Billy Swann
G       G/F#       Em
 Two old hairy ass hillbillies
             C          G
Still up and hangin' on


[Chorus]
C         D                  G
  Takes a friend to make you laugh
C               G
  A slap on the back
C           D                        G  G7
someone who knows right where you're at
C            D    Em                    C
 A friend in town who just heard you're around
G           D                       C
 Came by to see how you're gettin' along

[Verse 3]
G                  Em
  Most people come out to clubs
        C                 G
Just to see an electric dildo
                    Em
A human jukebox who loves to play
      A7                    D
Every single song they know
G                          G7
But they don't care if you blow your soul
C                         A7
They usually stand up and tell you so
G              G/F#        Em
 And leave that hairy ass hillbilly
             C          G  Em  C  G
Still up and   hangin' on


[Verse 4]
G                     Em
  So wherever you may be tonight
C            G
  I wish you luck
                  Em
You may be with a friend of yours
             A7                   D
And may your friend be your lady love
G                       G7
But if you gotta go and do a show
C                           A7
  And afterwards you got no where to go
G             G/F#       Em
 You're just a hairy ass hillbilly
             C          G
Still up and   hangin' on


[Chorus]
C         D                  G
  Takes a friend to make you laugh
C               G
  A slap on the back
C           D                        G  G7
someone who knows right where you're at
C            D    Em                    C
 A friend in town who just heard you're around
G           D                       C
 Came by to see how you're gettin' along
