Hey pretty baby are you ready for me
G C
D
It's your good rockin' daddy down from Tennessee
D
I'm just outta Austin bound for San Antone
D C
with the radio blastin' and the bird dog on
Speed trap up ahead Selma town
but no local yokel's gonna shut me down
Cause me and my boys got this rig unwound
and we've come a thousand miles from the guitar town.
the lead bit is in G, played over the verse chord progression. Sounds great
on an electric with a bit of vibrato and reverb.

Nothin' ever happened round my home town
and I ain't the kind to just hang around
I heard someone callin' my name one day
so I followed that voice down the lost highway
Everybody told me you can't get far
on $37 and a Jap guitar
now I'm smokin into Texas with the hammer down
and a rockin' little combo from the guitar town.
D
Hey pretty baby don't you know it ain't my fault
C G
Love to hear the steel belts hummin on the asphalt
D
Wake up in the middle of the night in a truck stop
C D7
Stumble in the restaurant, wonderin' why I don't stop
Well, I Gotta keep rockin while I still can
Got a two-pack habit and a motel tan
When my boots hit the boards I'm a brand new man
put my back to the risers and make my stand
Hey pretty baby won't you hold me tight
I'm loadin' up and rollin' out of here tonight
One of these days I'm gonna settle down
and I'll take you back with me to the guitar town
repeat riff and out.
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 STEVE EARLE 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.
