G C
Drinkin' all night in a tavern
C D G
My head is a mighty heavy load
G C
I feel like I've been run over
C D G
Like a poor little critter on the road
chorus:
G C
Poor little critter on the road,
D G
Where were you tryin' to go?
G C
Life's got a bucket full of woes for
D G
The poor little critter on the road, oh
D G (riff)
The poor little critter on the road
I must have had me a good time
Cause I'm feelin so poorly today
Somehow I can't quite remember,
That's one of the prices that you pay
(repeat chorus) (riff)
I can remember the drinkin'
And dancin on into the night
Somethin' about some romancin'
Then I started up a fight
variation of chorus:
Well I feel like a critter on the road
Maybe I want to get knowed
Life's got a bucket of woes for
The poor little critter on the road, oh
The poor little critter on the road

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official KNITTERS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
