Cash On The Barrelhead – Dolly Parton
Intro (G) (C)
(C) I got in a little trouble at the county seat
Lord, they put me in the jailhouse
For loafing (G) on the (C) street
Well, the judge said guilty
He made his point
He said forty-five dollars
Or thirty (G) days in the (C) joint
That'll be (F) cash on the barrelhead, (C) hon
You can take your (G) choice
You're twenty (C) one
No money (F) down
No credit (C) plan
No time to (G) chase you
Cause I'm a busy (C) man
Instrumental break
NOTE:
-Follow the pattern of the six lines below marked with *
-The /// simply mean do three quick down-strums on (C) at that spot
-Then start normal strumming (C) at the word ‘arm'
(C) I found a telephone number on a laundry slip
I had a good, hardy jailor
With a (G) six gun (C) hip
He let me call long distance
She said, "Number, please"
And just as soon as I told her
She shouted (G) back at (C) me
Said that'll be (F) cash on the barrelhead, (C) hon
Not part, not (G) half
But the entire (C) sum
No money (F) down
No credit (C) line
Cause a little boy (G) tells me
You're the travelin' (C) kind
Instrumental (F) (C) (G) (C)
(C) Thirty days in the jailhouse
Four days on the road
I was feelin' mighty hungry
My feet, a (G) heavy (C) load
*I saw a Greyhound comin' ///
*STUCK OUT MY THUMB ///
*AS SOON AS I WAS SEATED ///
*THE DRIVER CAUGHT MY arm
*Said that'll be (F) cash on the barrelhead, (C) hon
*This old grey (G) dog gets paid to (C) run
When the engine (F) starts
And the wheels will (C) roll
Give me cash on the (G) barrelhead
I take you down the (C) road
Oh-ye-(F)-oh-oh-ye-oh-ye-ea-ea-ea-oh-(C)-oh
Cash on the (G) barrelhead
I take you down the (C) road
