And a little bit of A G Bm D water goes a long way 'cause it's hot. Three good buddies were laughing and E Em Bm A smoking in the back of a rented Ford. They couldn't know they weren't G Bm E7/B Bm7 E7/B going far. (7th fret BAR for all these chords) Bm E D E Each one with the money in his pocket could go out and buy himself a brand new Bm D E G Am car. But they all held the money they had, the money they hoped would take Bm F#m Em them very far. F#sus4 F# E--2----------2-------------| B--2----------2-------------| G----4---------3------------| D----4----------4-----------| A----4----------4-----------| E--2----------2-------------| Song is in Key of D so Blues Runs in B work great. Matter of fact B runs mixed with a little D work good together. I have good luck with B runs. Note: Buck plays smoothly fast, so get the jist of the song as tabbed and bend a few notes, hammer on a few and play it smoothly. It is not that easy to tab this song with feeling. I hope you listen and enjoy. We used to practice Bm A G F#sus4 F# Bm A G A progressions while playing the Runs, Blues licks in B and D over it just to get the feel.
