Intro:  G  D  A  D

D
I pulled into the regular pump
      G                D
I was feelin' quite at ease
                                          E                  A
I rolled down my window and told the man, "Fifty cents worth please"
 G                                  D
Then out jumped my partner with his trusty pellet gun
          D              D               A                 D
He said, "Boy, this is a holdup, keep 'a pumpin' and don't run"

Chorus:
              G            A                   D
     And now I wish I was somewhere other than here
      G            A           E           A
     Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer
          G            A                   D
     Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here
                G                     D
     Cause that great fillin' station holdup
      A               D
     Cost me two good years

D                                  
We got fifteen dollars 
      G      D
And a can of STP
                                  E         A
A big ole jar of cashew nuts and a Japanese TV
G                                 D
Feelin' we had pulled the biggest heist of our career
      D                 D
We're wanted men, we'll strike again,
A                      D
But first let's have a beer

              G            A                   D
     And now I wish I was somewhere other than here
      G            A           E           A
     Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer
          G            A                   D
     Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here
                G                     D
     Cause that great fillin' station holdup
      A               D
     Cost me two good years

        D
We were sittin' in the Krystal
         G                 D
About as drunk as we could be
G                    
In walked the deputy sheriff
         E           A
And he's holdin' our TV
G                    D
He roughed us and he cuffed us
       D              G
And he took us off to jail
D               A                        D
No picture on a poster, no reward and no bail

(repeat chorus and fade)
           G            A                   D
     And now I wish I was somewhere other than here
      G            A           E           A
     Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer
          G            A                   D
     Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here
                G                     D
     Cause that great fillin' station holdup
      A               D
     Cost me two good years
