Break The Rules
(Rossi/Young/Parfitt/Coghlan/Lancaster)
G5
Spent a long long evening in a low down honky-tonk bar
G5
Pulled a low down lady with a long black honky-tonk car
C5
I asked no questions, got no lies,
C5 D5 G5
I walked off with her, I didn't want any ties
D5 G5
And I knew it wasn't right
D5 F5 D5 C5 A#5 G5
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules.
G5
Took me down on the highway doin' too may miles an hour
G5
By that way she motor-talked we might have made the Eiffel Tower.
C5
She stopped her motor by her own front door,
C5 D5 G5
I knew she'd done it so many times before
D5
And I was offered the floor.
D5 F5 D5 C5 A#5 G5
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules.
First Solo: Guitar (I don't know this solo, sorry!)
Second solo: Piano
Third solo: Harmonica
G5
I woke up next morning feeling kind of up and down
G5
Cos I did not know if I was in or out of town
C5
Then I saw the face from the night before
D5 G5
Purse was empty and lying there on the floor
D5 G5
But like I told you before
D5 F5 D5 C5 A#5 G5
That everybody has to sometimes break the rules
G5
Spent a low down evening sitting high on a honky-tonk stool.
G5
And I spent my money like a low down honky-tonk fool.
D5 F5 D5 C5 A#5 G5
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules
D5 F5 D5 C5 A#5 G5
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules
