pretty sure this is it.
E, E7,  E, E7,  E, E7,  E,  E7- intro
Erunnin' down the 301 like he never done before
Bmgasin' down that stright 6 like there never was a floor
                                       A       E  E7, E, E7  
he was crazier than a shithouse rat, oh lord
                                                Bm  E, E7, E, E7  
past those blues at 110, the chase was all for sure
Eoh no,    E7  Ethey just sat thereE7  
                                               A  E, E7, E, E7  
maybe they didn't see him, maybe they didn't care
Ethat old boy turned around
Epassed him on the other side
Ehe turned around again
                  Bm  E, E7, E, E7  
and gave it another shot
Erunnin' down that 301 like he never done before
Bmburnin' up that old straight 6 like he had nine lives or more
                                               A  E, E7, E, E7  
he had fire in his eyes and led in his feet, oh lord
                                              A  E, E7, E, E7  
so now theres 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, smokers on his tail
                                                                Bm  E, E7, E, E7  
but if theres 7, 8, 9, 10, or more that boy wouldn't have given a hell
                                                   A  E, E7, E, E7  
they tried to run, run, run, run, run, run, run him down
                                                          Bm  E, E7, E, E7  
but they couldn't catch that old shithouse rat for the life of them
