[Primeira Parte]

C
 When it comes to hitchin' the boat up
C7M                  C
Backin' down the ramp in my old truck
F                                            F7M 
To find a bunch of logs, to catch a bunch of hogs
                   F                       C
Yeah, I wrote the book, yeah, I wrote the book

C
If you wanna learn to throw a curve right

Catch a clean up lookin' on a third strike
 F                  F7M 
Talk a little smack while he's walkin' back
                   F
Yeah, I wrote the book

[Refrão]

             C
But there's one that lays by the lamp on the nightstand
 C
One that says don't cuss and don't fight
F                          F7M 
Or let the bottle turn you into a different man
                    F                   C
But damn if I don't do it every Friday night

 C
Those get you into Heaven letters in red
 C                                                  F
Ain't gettin' read enough to keep me on a straight line

I'm a Jack of all trades, but man I gotta say
                          C    C
That's one book I didn't write

[Segunda Parte]

C
I met a good girl, she had her life straight

She said she loved that I was good at everything
 F
One day she left me in a cloud of dust

'Cause I never was too good at pickin' up

[Refrão]

     C
The one that lays by the lamp on the nightstand
 C
One that says don't cuss and don't fight
F
Or let the bottle turn you into a different man
                                        C
But damn if I don't do it every Friday night

Yeah, the good Lord knows I need it
         F7M                             F
I didn't write it, but I probably oughta read it
