Rat Killin Time Cifras

Rat Killin' Time
Davin James
Capo 2
 
G                        C             D
That artesian well water sure hits the spot
G                             C         G
When the Lousiana summer gets heavy and hot
G                                      C             D
They were down at the corn crib making corn meal and shine
G                             D          G
But for me and McGuffe it was rat killin time
 
[Chorus]
C            G               C   G
Get your axe handle and your .22 long
C              G                D          G
Roust out that dirty rat, gonna sing him a song
 
[Verse 2]
G                         C           D
Carla Jean Routon was the home coming queen
G                          C              G
Ol' Layne McGuffee was the Captain of the team
G                           C                D
He said Jimbo Pardue's been messin' with her mind
G                                       D           G
Let's get down to Jonesville cause it's rat killin' time
 
[Chorus]
C            G               C   G
Get your axe handle and your .22 long
C              G                D          G
Roust out that dirty rat, gonna sing him a song
 
[Verse 3]
G                                        C             D
We're riding around Jonesville with some 10 ounce cold beer
G                     C           G
Any of y'all seen ol' Jimbo round here
G                              C    D
He was up on the levee bout an hour ago
G                                     C            G
Let's shut down them lights and let's ease up here slow
 
[Chorus]
C            G               C   G
Get your axe handle and your .22 long
C              G                D          G
Roust out that dirty rat, gonna sing him a song
 
[Verse 4]
G                            C              D
Then the High Sheriff come a knocking at my door
G                      C            G
Me and McGuffee laying still on the floor
G                                C             D
I know that y'all in there and I know what you done
G                               C               G
Come out with your hands up and throw down that gun
 
[Chorus]
C               G              C   G
He took our axe handle and our .22 long
C          C   G                D         G
They had a rat killin' and they sang us a song
