lyrics

STATE LINE BOOGIE

A D-G / A D-G // G – G-A / G- G-A (2x)

A boogie
When I was a lad about one and nine
They changed the laws
It was earth-shakin times
Practical effect was we had to drive
‘bout 47 miles where it warn’t no crime
- to the:

D G
State line,
D A
most nights
D G
State Line
D A
‘s all right

A boogie
Buddy o mine had a Buick machine
Engine compartment fit a family of three
8 track Hendrix stuck in the dash
In the bottle store parkin’ lot smoking some hash -- at the
D G
State line,
D A
Week nights
D G
State Line
D A
That’s right

E A
We had a theory that Wisconsin girls was easier
E B
Never put it to the test that I can recall
E A
Sorta figured all you hadda to do was ask’em

F#m
Stoned……(stoned)……………
B
to the bone, (to the bone)
G A7
nobody had the gall…

Instrumental & solo break
D-G
D-A
D-G
D-A
G (two measures) –A boogie (two measures)

A boogie
Softened up tight we could make the scene
Danced with ourselves at the Hooker Lake Inn
As the morning sun would testify
Pulled the trigger too fast on all that sloe gin

G-A

Modulate to B boogie
Snuck our way back on rural route 12
On the big Buick’ floor, rolled half that amount
Didn’t see the cherrys baby I was asleep
Saw the flashlight tho, right in my peeps

E A
State line,
E B
That night
E A
State Line
E B (hold B one more measure)
A little cell time

chorus
E A
We had a theory that Wisconsin girls was easier
E B
Never put it to the test that I can recall
E A
Sorta figured all you hadda to do was ask’em
B
Don’t suppose there’s any still a-waitin on my
A
calllllllllll!!!

Repeat chorus

hold last A for 2 measures and end on E
