C*                       C*
Well I was born in Tennessee and it couldn't hold me
          C*                        C
I told my mama and my daddy that I got to be free
F                                                  C
I moved to California where the sun shines all day long
      G7             G                      C
If it feels so good, girl you know it ain’t wrong
          C7*                   C7*
I started playin' in the clubs, playin' keys
          C7*                             C
I started chasin' every woman that laid a smile on me
F                                                C
Played with Guns n' Roses by the time that I was 23
                    G                                                       C
Yes, there ain't no rock n' roller alive that was rock n' rollin' enough for me


[Chorus]
C
Yeah, 'cause I wanna get down
C7                 C
Down like a basset hound
                       F
Down to the honky tonk town
                     C
Burn this juke joint down ,make Hank proud
    G*         F*
Get drunk, get loud
    C
I'm bound ta git down
                D
Bound ta git down


[Break]
C D


[Verse 2]
           D*                       D*
Well I made a few records, I wrote a few songs
          D*                        D
I took 'em down to Nashville and set it all off
G                                                        D
Didn't hear from the bus, still stuck in traffic back in Tennessee
       A                                                    D
See if I end up drinkin' I'll be out of bullets, scream for me
      D*                    D*
Now I got me a house in the Hollywood Hills
  D*                       D
I smoked me some weed but I don't take no pills
G                                     D
I got me a man, we love jammin' on my gray guitar, on my gray hammock
  A                                          D*                               D
I once saw a band with Marilyn Manson called Johnny B. Bad ,You know that I'm back in town! Get down


[Chorus]
D
Yeah, 'cause I wanna get down
D
Down like a basset hound
                       G
Down to the honky tonk town
                     D
Burn this juke joint down ,make Hank proud
    A*         G*
Get drunk, get loud
    D
I'm bound ta git down
                D
Bound ta git down


[Break]
C D

You know that I am
Whoo! Hear me, boy!


[Chorus]
D
Yeah, 'cause I wanna get down
D
Down like a basset hound
                       G
Down to the honky tonk town
                     D
Burn this juke joint down ,make Hank proud
    A*         G*
Get drunk, get loud
    D
I'm bound ta git down
                D
Bound ta git down
