[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
Now he's a hard workin' easy goin' country boy, Ahe wouldn't harm a fEly.
But Nadine down at the hair salon, pBromised she would be his bride.
HEe took it hard when she ran off with the bAeauty supply salesmEan,
Well thats how romance goes sometimes, but HeBrshel don't understaEnd.
[Chorus]
He'll play the sAame sad songs on the old jukebox,
DErink up every dime he's got,
HeA'll peel out in his pick up truck
and sling grBavel through the parking lot.
You wAouldn't wanna tangle with a grizzly bear
or sEtep on a copperhead snAake
So if you crEoss his path you beAtter beware,
He's been wDounded by a woman,
He's a Chillbilly with a hEeartache.
[Verse 2]
He was gonna buy her a modular home, with Ano wax lanolium flEoors,
Now his mamas all worried cause he don't stop by to see wrBastlin' anymore
He just rEides around with a loaded shot gun hAangin' in his rifle raEck,
If I was that smooth talkin' city boy I'd sBure a be a watchin' my baEck.
[Chorus]
He'll play the sAame sad songs on the old jukebox,
DErink up every dime he's got,
HeA'll peel out in his pick up truck
and sling grBavel through the parking lot.
You wAouldn't wanna tangle with a grizzly bear
or sEtep on a copperhead snAake
So if you crEoss his path you beAtter beware,
He's been wDounded by a woman,
He's a Chillbilly with a hEeartache.
Now them bAig ole' arms that used to hold her tight could brEing about anyman down
When the goAod ole' boys' been hurt real bad, he juBst don't give a damn.
A    E    A    D    C    E
He'll play the sAame sad songs on the old jukebox,
DErink up every dime he's got,
HeA'll peel out in his pick up truck
and sling grBavel through the parking lot.
You wAouldn't wanna tangle with a grizzly bear
or sEtep on a copperhead snAake
So if you crEoss his path you beAtter beware,
He's been wDounded by a woman,
He's a Chillbilly with a hEeartache.
He's been wDounded by a woman,
He's a Chillbilly with a hEeartache.

He was gonna buy her a modular home, with no wax lanolium floors,

Now his mamas all worried cause he don't stop by to see wrastlin' anymore

He just rides around with a loaded shot gun hangin' in his rifle rack,

B E

If I was that smooth talkin' city boy I'd sure a be a watchin' my back.

or step on a copperhead snake

So if you cross his path you better beware,

He's been wounded by a woman,
