Intro: G A G A G 

      A 
O' Be Joyful, is that what you're brewing 
G                    A 
Does your daddy know that's what you're doing 

His little girl's got her reputation out to ruin 
        G                       E     (G) 
She was giving them the country wave 

A 
Machete in a tree stump, hound dog on a chain 
G                               A 
Wooden legged woman playing the banjo in the rain 

She can't recall the tune but the song is always the same 
 G              E 
"Jesus, give me strength" 

D            E            A             F#m 
Babe, it's alright, gonna wrap you up tonight 
    D             E    (G) A    G  A  G 
And carry you out right on time 

A 
She got Comanche, she got Iroquois 
G                            A 
She got a young man that she plays with like a toy 

And he don't mind when she calls him little boy 
         G               E 
That's a thing that he enjoy 

   (G)      A 
He wants to get it all back but it's a little too late 
             G                      A 
He wants to start all over, wants a shiny clean slate 

But she'll skin him like a snake and hang him up over the gate 
      G                         E 
Don't believe it, well just you wait 

D            E            A             F#m 
Babe, it's alright, gonna wrap you up tonight 
    D             E    (G) A 
And carry you out right on time 

G       A             G          A          G 
Hey alright, ain't it good to be alive 
A                   D                       E    (G) 
Ain't it nice to be fighting on the winning side
