Tonart: G major
Intro 1
G
Verse 1
a little old town,
and never much going on.
A
Well, I've seen the whole town turn out
Em
A
just to listen to an organ grinder song.
C
Cm
But a bunch of us rotten old boys
D
started spreading the rumor around
G
that it would really be funny
to see old Slow John Fairburn
D
A
G
take a motorcycle ride around town.
Now Slow John's oh
I guess 70 years old
A
and plays checkers down on the square
and I've never seen him do anything
faster than a walk
C
and at times he'll slow that down a hair.
D
So we went around collecting some money
G
and came up with a hundred dollar bill
And we let it be known
that come Saturday
Em
F#
G
would be Slow John's show and tell.
Well, Saturday rolled around
and it was kind of hot,
A
but it looked like the whole town came,
and they all gathered
Em
around old Pete Jones
C
and Slow John's checker game.
D
We came roaring up on those motorcycles
G
an d the motor revving up loud,
And we plopped our money
down on the checker table
Em
G
an d a snicker kind of went
through the crowd
Slow John looked at the crowd
D
and then he looked at the money,
A
Em
and I don't think he got uptight
A
Em
an d Pete Jones says well John
A
it looks like it's your move
C
an d old John says you know what
I think you're right
D
Well, he hitched up his britches,
and he spit in his hands
G
and Said could I borrow your
Em
D
And he said, by the way,
G
would you women and children
kind of stand back?
And I swear I saw him smile.
I need me something wet.
C
And he downed the beer.
D
And he picked up a flower
from a nearby shrub,
G
and he stuck it behind his ear.
Well, he kicked down on that
motorcycle starter
A
and that motor kicked into a roar,
C
D
and he showered down Haas
G
and he laid a strip of rubber
A
all the way to the grocery store.
D
and dogs started barking,
G
the kids were getting a thrill,
A
C
cause he made Evel Knievel look
D
like he needed training wheels.
G
He popped himself a wheelie
A
across that courthouse lawn,
and he roared right up
C
D
the front stairs.
G
An old lady stobs up at the highway department,
fainted,
and fell right across the chair.
A
Well John picked up his money
G
and he said with a grin,
A
G
enjoyed the ride boys, thanks a lot.
D
G
And old Pete laughed and said,
boys, I could have told you,
but I think you needed a lesson or two,
because you see, Slow John Fairbairn
was motorcycle champ
C
D
in 30, 31, and 32.
