Shit Shots Count Chords

Post by Iowan »

Standard tuning version. All C chords in the verse are played in the typical Trucker (add 9) style. You may have to transpose to get the same key as Cooley (haven't cross referenced), but I'm fairly positive it's a three chord progression like this.

Intro: C (walked down) G C (walked down) G F C G

C G
Put your cigarette out and get your hat back on
C G
Don't mix up which is which
F C
They don't pay you enough to work
G
Well they don't pay me enough to bitch
C G
Boss ain't as smart as he'd like to be
C G
But he ain't nearly as dumb as you think
F C G
He just wants evolution on budget with a schedule to keep
C G C G
Suburban four lanes moving like blood through an old man's dying heart
F C G
Nothing but time to keep hope alive at the speed of a stream of tar
C G C G
He bought in young and I have no doubt he's gonna cash out with a winning deal
F C G
Trophy tail wives taking boner pill rides for the price of a happy meal

C G
Shit shots count and the table is tilted
C G
Just pay the man who levels the floor
F C
Pride's what you charge a proud man for having
G
Shame is what you sell to a whore
C G
Meats just meat and its all born dying,
C G
some is tender and some is tough.
F C
Somebody's got to mop up the A1,
G
somebody's got to mop up the blood

I had the chords properly spaced, but this fucked it up. You should be able to slide them into proper place on each line.

Thanks for posting this Iowan. Sounds fine to these ears.

Here are the full lyrics from the lyrics thread:

Put your cigarette out and get your hat back on
Don't mix up which is which
They don't pay you enough to work
Well they don't pay me enough to bitch
Boss ain't as smart as he'd like to be
But he ain't nearly as dumb as you think
He just wants evolution on budget with a schedule to keep
Suburban four lanes moving like blood through an old man's dying heart
Nothing but time to keep hope alive at the speed of a stream of tar
He bought in young and I have no doubt he's gonna cash out with a winning deal
Trophy tail wives taking boner pill rides for the price of a happy meal
Shit shots count and the table is tilted
Just pay the man who levels the floor
Pride's what you charge a proud man for having
Shame is what you sell to a whore
Meats just meat and its all born dying,
some is tender and some is tough.
Somebody's got to mop up the A1,
somebody's got to mop up the blood
High ground ain't high enough
To kill you quick if you fall
Idealistically speaking it sounds like you ain't listening at all
Friday night riches are all you're ever gonna need until the fight in you on Monday's gone
One more drag tuck your hair in your hat
Don't act so surprised try not to look so lost
Shit shots count and the table is tilted
Just pay the man who levels the floor
Pride's what you charge a proud man for having
Shame is what you sell to a whore
Meats just meat and its all born dying,
some is tender and some is tough.
Somebody's got to mop up the A1,
somebody's got to mop up the blood
Heading to HC Friday and Saturday - first timer!

Any sense of the chords on the bridge --

High ground aint high enough to kill you . . .

The main stuff here sounds right to me.
