The Joint Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Cm][C]

[Verse 1]
The [C]only joint my mother burned
was on [Cm]the rur[C]al route
She sparked in old man tater's woods
so she wouldn't be found out
Turned off the dome light
and snuck off by herself
Crashed down beneath [G]that [C]win[G]dow,
fired it up, [C]and gave it hell

[Verse 2]
At [C]that hangout my daddy used
[Cm]to h[F]ang ar[Eb]ound[C][Eb]
[C]We watched it all go up in smoke
un[G]til it all came [C]down
Just like after tabs and stooge
[G]and [F]tables got [Eb]turned[C]
To the [Eb]only joint [Bb]my momma
[G]eve[C]r bur[F]ned[C]

[Verse 3]
[C]Just like someone flipped a switch,
dad started coming home
No more eating late cause
supper's with that tater gone
I had my suspicions,
[F]til[C] th[F]e night when we said grace
[C]Dad said, "Forgive us,
our transgressions [F]as [C]I lit up momma's face."

[Verse 4]
At that [C]hangout my daddy used
[Cm]to h[F]ang [Eb]arou[Cm]nd
[C]We watched it all go up in smoke
until [Bb]it a[G]ll came do[C]wn
Just like after tabs and stooge
and [F]tables got [Eb]turned[C]
To the [Eb]only joint [Bb]my momma[G] e[C]ver bu[F]rned

Lot of small town gonna find some

found out was dad

At that [C]hangout my [Bb]daddy[C]
[F]used [C]to [F]han[Eb]g around
