[Verse 1]
G C G
One month on the road will leave you wondering
A D A D
how any man could ever want for more
G C G
Three months on the road will leave you stumbling
D G7
Falling through another hotel door
[Chorus]
C D G Em
Throwing Houlihans at the Holiday Inn
C D
Haven't put boot heel to belly
G G7
Since can't remember when
C D G Em
I'll sing you all the songs of my working cowboy kin
C D C G
and it's back to throwing Houlihans at the holiday inn
[Verse 2]
G C G
Highwayside, grazin' herd of cattle
A D A D
Folks around here pull in a decent yield
G C G
a view best taken in from the saddle
D G7
I'm staring through this dirty cracked windshield
[Chorus]
C D G Em
Throwing Houlihans at the Holiday Inn
C D
Haven't put boot heel to belly
G G7
Since can't remember when
C D G Em
I'll sing you all the songs of my working cowboy kin
C D C G
and it's back to throwing Houlihans at the holiday inn
[Verse 3]
G C G
If I'm paid well, a tale I'll tell and sing
A D A D
I seldom pay a cent for my drinks
G C G
folks in here tonight, think I'm the king
D
I'd trade it all for a double ring saddle
G G7
and a good pair of shanks
[Chorus]
C D G Em
Throwing Houlihans at the Holiday Inn
C D
Haven't put boot heel to belly
G G7
Since can't remember when
C D G Em
I'll sing you all the songs of my working cowboy kin
C D C G C G
and it's back to throwing Houlihans at the holiday inn
