Tom: G

                                 G
Well I walked into a bar with my hat pulled way down low
  C                                      G
I just hit town and there ain't nobody I know
    G
The smoke was kinda thick but the scene was pretty cool
     C                                         G     C C
So I grabbed a beer and thought I'd shoot some pool
     D                                 G
Yeah just then the barmaid, she walked up and she called me out
           C              D                   G
She said, "Cowboy why you got your hat pulled down?"


[Chorus]
         C                                   G                   C C
I said, "Underneath this hat, well there's a devil standin' tall
       G                               D
And an angel on my shoulder to make me guilty for it all
       C                                   G
I said underneath this hat, well there's a Texan standin' proud
              D           C             G
And there's a beggar just lookin' for a crown"


[Verse]
                            G
Well I walked into a church one Sunday mornin' late
C                                    G
Tryin' to figure out what made me go astray
G
The preacher was preachin' 'bout some brimstone and fire
C                                           G   C C
And where I was goin' if I didn't change my way
D                                    G
Just then he called me out, he said, "Son, why don't you come on down?
C                                D                   G
Dry those tears and pull off that hat you got pulled down"


[Chorus 2]
                  C                                   G                   C C
I said "Preacher, underneath this hat, well there's a devil standin' tall
       G                               D
And an angel on my shoulder to make me guilty for it all

       C                                   G
I said underneath this hat, well there's a Texan standin' proud
              D                           G
And there's a sinner tryin' to get Heaven bound"


[Chorus 3]
           C                                    G                   C C
And I said "Underneath this hat, Lord there's a devil standin' tall
       G                             D
And my mama on my shoulder tryin' to save me from it all
       C                                   G
I said underneath this hat, well there's a Texan standin' proud
              D                           G
And there's a sinner tryin' to get Heaven bound"
                        D                         G
Yeah I said, "There's a beggar just lookin' for a crown"
