String Cheese Incident

[Gm Gm/maj7  Gm Gm/maj7  Eb Ebmaj7  Cm7 D7
    A2  D7 C Bb  Gm Gm/maj7 G2] (x12)
                  Gm                                       Gm(maj7)
                  Me and my friends went to Dixieland
               Gm          Gm(maj7)      Eb Ebmaj7   Cm7 D7
                  And we drove a big R.V.
                               A2
                  With a cabinet full of mushrooms
               D7         C        Bb      Gm     Gm/maj7  G2
                  And a cooler full of beer

                  It was springtime in the mountains
                  When we headed out of town
                  The peaks were white, the sky was blue
                  And the sun was beatin' down

                  We were rollin' down the highway
                  Just havin' a little fun
                  Sure can drink a lot of beer
                  Underneath that Texas sun

                  So I pulled into a liquor store
                  That's where the trouble all began
                  Cause I ran into their awning
                  And we had a run-in with The Man

                                       Cm7                         D2
                                          Get me outta this small town Texas town
                                        G                                                     E
                                          Cause I don't wanna be stuck in jail
                                                           E7           Am      Am7                       D7
                                          When the sun goes down - you can't bust me
                                                     C                 Bb           Gm       Cm7 D7
                                          If you don't know what you found

                  Well, I got to talk with the girl inside
                  I even offered her some cash
                  But she wouldn't listen - she was callin' the cops
                  Cause her gutter had been smashed

                  And next thing I knew when I walked outside
                  There were police all around
                  Askin', who was drivin' the vehicle - can I see your license?
                  What you doin' in our town?

                                          Get me outta this small town Texas town
                                          Cause I don't wanna be stuck in jail
                                          When the sun goes down - you can't bust me
                                          If you don't know what you found
                                                               *Solo*    (verse & chorus, repeat)

                  We were sittin' on the steps of the liquor store
                  Just tryin' not to look too scared
                  They were searchin' the RV and I was thinkin'
                  Sometimes life just isn't fair

                  When they opened up that cabinet
                  They found our little stash
                  But they didn't know what it was and let us go
                  Minus eighty bucks in cash

                                          Get me outta this small town Texas town
                                          Cause I don't wanna be stuck in jail
                                          When the sun goes down - you can't bust me
                                                     C                 Bb           Gm      G7
                                          If you don't know what you found - no~

                                          Get me outta this small town Texas town
                                          I been running since my feet hit the ground
                                          You can't bust me
                                          Cause you don't know what you found...

                                                                     Gm Gm/maj7 Gm7 Gm/maj7 (repeat)
                                                                          Cm7 D7 G2
