D                              A               D
The only slide I ever played on is a slide guitar
                                            A
The only swinging I've ever done was in some bar
    D                                     G                              E7
The only playground I played around on is when I played around with that woman named Joanie
         D                     A               D
The only slide I ever played on is a slide guitar


[Verse 2]
D                                A                       Dm      D
The only school I've ever been to was the school of hard knocks
                                       A
My major was major mistakes, I made a lot
    D      D7                             G      E7
The only degree I ever earned at all is a PhD in havin' a ball
         D7                    A7              D
The only slide I ever played on is a slide guitar

        G
Oh, the only book learning that I've ever had
           D
Was from a mailbag guitar book I got from my Dad
    G                       G7
The only test I ever made a passing grade on
     E                     A
Was "Testing 1 2 3" on this microphone


[Verse 3]
         D                     A               D
The only slide I ever played on is a slide guitar
                                            A
The only swinging I've ever done was in some bar
    D                                     G                              E7
The only playground I played around on is when I played around with that woman named Joanie
         D                     A               D   G7
The only slide I ever played on is a slide guitar
