Photo Finish
Okay so this is a fairly easy song to play and also a lot of fun. When the line begins
with an E (every 2nd line) you sometimes have to hold the E for a long time and then the
D and A at the end are fairly quick. You just have to feel it. Let me know how I did. If 
you have any comments or corrections, let me know.
Capo 1
My car broke down in Billings and they just got it put together
I’ll be photo finishing into old Cheyenne
Here I am in Sheridan and its 9 o’clock
In the morning, and times a-goin’ fast
I just pulled ‘er over, had some coffee and a donut
And I bought the car a brand new tank of gas
Well I don’t know if I’m gonna make it, it’s 9:15
I’ll be lucky if I ever get there
By God now what’s that I hear, is it a sireen
Sure enough, he got me on his radar
He pulled up behind me and turned on those flashin’ lights
A sign that I knew meant to pull it over
So I stomped on my brakes and as I skidded to a halt
I wiped out three reflector posts along the shoulder
He got out of his car and was a-walkin’ real slow
So I jumped out and met him half way
He jerked out his gun and said Mister are you crazy
I ain’t never seen nobody drive that way
I told him take it easy and he could put up that cannon
The way you’re shakin’ it just might go off
He put up the gun as I explained my situation
He listened to my story, then he coughed
He wrote me out a ticket, that seemed to take forever
I took and as I headed for my car, that cop he hollered after me
And said hey cowboy you better slow down cause you can’t outrun this radar
As I rolled on down the road I was a-cursin’ and a-swearin’
About the ticket, that I had just acquired
I wondered if I oughta pay it or throw it out the window
But I might just set the damn thing a-fire
So I gunned it once again and was a travellin’ down the highway
With the gas pedal mashed to the floor
When I came around a curve, and right there in the highway
There’s more damn sheep than I’ve ever seen before
I’m goin’ to fast to ever stop so I just close my eyes
As the car rolls on through the herd
When I opened up my eyes again there’s a sheep on the fender
And that herder’s sayin’ some mighty awful words
The sweats a-drippin’ off my hands as I barrelled through old Wheatland
I’m a nervous wreck and I must be a sight
The flies inside this old car are buzzin’ all around me
I guess my 24 hour deodorant quit last night
