Hard Luck Story

1 2 + (Syncopated)

G
Well I was thinkin’ that I should
G
But I didn’t ever leave you but
C
Baby I’m leavin’ tonight
G                                                                   D
There’s a trucker drinkin’ coffee in the station who can give me a ride
           G 
I was thinking bout a headin’ down to Mobile Alabama
         C
That was just last Saturday night,
           D                            C                    G
Well I can leave you if I wanna little baby and I’m gonna tonight

     Chorus:
                       D
     Cause I gotta bucket full of tears and a hard luck story
     C                                 G
     There’s a bad moon risin’ behind,
           G             
     And I swore to your daddy that I loved you
                       D
     But I changed my mind
     G 
     I’m a fast talkin’ hell raising son of a bitch
            C                              G
     I’m a sinner and I know how to fight
              D                                        C     G
     So I can leave you if I wanna little baby and I’m gonna tonight

     REPEAT CHORUS

G
Well I was sittin’ I was drinkin on a barstool thinkin’
G
How true love becomes a lie
C
And I never should’ve left you 
G                                                   D
But I had to and I bet you there’s a man with you tonight
      G 
And I swore to your daddy that I missed you but I didn’t
     C
If I came back it wouldn’t be right
             D                            C                    G
‘Cause I can leave you if I wanna little baby and I’m gonna tonight
