Intro
Bm A#m Bm F# F#7 (x2) 
Verse
BmPut a dead cat on the F#7railroad tracks
BmThe Wolf-bains blooming by the F#7tressels.
Get the E7eyeball of a rooster and the F#7stones from a ditch
And E7wash 'em down with bilge water and F#7say you'll never snitch.
Take the Bmbuttons from a yellow jacket the F#7feather from a buzzard.
The Bmblood from the bounty hunters F#7cold black heart.
Catch the E7tears of a widow in a F#7thimble made of glass.
Tell your E7Mama and your Papa they can F#7kiss your ass.
Verse
BmPoison all the water in the F#7wishin' well
And Bmhang all them scarecrows from a F#7sycamore tree.
Burn E7down all them honeymoons put 'em F#7in a pillow case
And wait E7next to the switch blades at the F#7amusement park for me.
BmStrangle all the Christmas carolers F#7scratch out all the prayers.
Tie 'em Bmup with barbed wire and F#7push 'em down the stairs.
I'll E7whittle you a pistol for keepin' F#7nightmares off your blinds.
Those E7sons 'o bitches always seem to F#7sneak up from behind.
Verse
BmSyphon all the gas from your F#7Daddy's pick-up truck.
BmFill up Johnny's T-Bird I F#7got a couple bucks.
Put E7on a little perfume wrap a F#7ribbon in your hair.
Careful E7that you don't wake up the F#7hounds.
BmTear a bolt of lightning off the F#7side of the sky.
BmThrow it in the cedar chest if you F#7want I'll tell you why.
E7Bring the gear shift knob from a F#749 Merc.
Lie E7down here beside me and let me F#7hold you in the dirt.
Verse
BmYou're gonna tremble tear the F#7throat out of the night.
Sink your Bmteeth into my shoulder dig your F#7nails into my back.
Tell that E7little girl to let F#7go of my sleeve.
You'll be a E7woman when I catch you come baby F#7fall in love with me.
With Bmmy double barrel shotgun a F#7whole box of shells
We'll Bmcelebrate the 4th of F#7July.
We'll do a E7100 mph spendin' F#7someone else's dough.
Drive E7all the way to Reno on the F#7wrong side of the Bmroad.
Chorus
F#7On the wrong side of the Bmroad. F#7The wrong side of the Bmroad.
F#7The wrong side of the Bmroad. F#7 Bm 
F#7Bap doo da bap doo Bmda. F#7Bap doo da bap doo Bmda.
