White Trash

Tom: E

B7      E                                    B7
When I met her she was a beauty queen who wanted something more            

               B7                E           
Now she's hanging out with me in front of the liquor store

     E                     E7
And it won't start when I shut it off

        A               A7
So she has to get the beer

      E
She puts it in the back seat

         B7              E  B7    
And she quietly says to me


Chorus:
E                   B7
When, exactly, did we become white trash

B7                          E
How come we got seven dogs living in the garage

E                                     A           
How come the only eight track in our car is Johnny Cash?
          
e                  B7               E
When, exactly, did we become white trash?


B7   E                                   B7                                       
Now she tells all our friends that I've got my PhD

         B7 
But it stands for Post Hole Digger

          E
It ain't exactly a degree

             E                 E7
And there's curtains on the windows

        A
And we hardly watch TV

          E
And that double-wide is triple-wide

B7                    E
Now that's she's with me


B7  
And she says

E                  B7
When, exactly, did we become white trash

B7
How come we got seven dogs

E
Who burned down the garage

E                  E7                 A
How come the only eight track in our car is Johnny Cash?

E                  B7               E
When, exactly, did we become white trash

         E                B7              E
Girls: When, exactly, did we become white trash

        E                 B7             E
Boys: When, exactly, did we become white trash

             E                 B7              E              
Santa Cruz: When, exactly, did we become white trash
