quick note: for the / chords, you want the bass note to be on the D string and the
following three chords in E barre chord form. If not, at least make sure the
voicings have the chromatic line. In the first verse it's F#, G, Ab, A for example.
Also, I don't know why the chord diagram things F#/A# are two different chords.
It's F# with A# in the bass

D A
never put your hat on the bed, son, never put your hat on the bed
D D/F# G Ab
cuz if your hat's on the bed you might wake up dead
A D
so don't ya never put ya hat on the bed
A
and if you do be sure it’s upside down, son, if you do be sure it’s upside down
D D/F# G Ab
cuz if there’s any doubt, it keeps the luck from runnin’ out
A D
so if you do be sure it’s upside down
A
never throw a match when it's dry, son, never throw a match when it's dry
D D/F# G Ab
don't you never throw a match cuz the grass might catch
A D
and burn three counties when it's dry

A
always keep an edge on your knife, son, always keep an edge on your knife
D D/F# G Ab A D
cuz a good sharp edge is a man's best hedge against the vague uncertainties of life
D D/F# G Ab A D
yes, a good sharp edge is a man’s best hedge against the uncertain vagaries of life
D F#m Bm G
but I never could sharpen no knife, like the one who gave the advice
D A D A D
yodel-ayhee yodel-ayhee yodeloo

E B
never sell the old .22, son, never sell the old .22
E E/G# A Bb
cause the old .22’s shot a gopher or two
B E
so don'tcha never sell the old .22
B
aim it to the left, a little low, son, aim it to the left, a little low
E E/G# A Bb
cuz the old iron sight fires high and to the right
B E Eb E
so aim it to the left, a little low
B
always tip the glass when you pour son, always tip the glass when you pour
E E/G# A Bb
cuz if you don't tip the glass, well the foam, it comes fast
B E
and runs from the table to the floor

B
always keep an edge on your knife, son, always keep an edge on your knife
E E/G# A Bb B E
cuz a good sharp edge is a man's best hedge against the vague uncertainties of life
E E/G# A Bb B E
yes, a good sharp edge is a man’s best hedge against the uncertain vagaries of life
E G#m C#m A
but I never could sharpen no knife, like the one who gave me advice
E B E B E
yodel-ayhee yodel-ayhee yodeloo

F# E# F# E# F#
yes, that makes sense. call if F if you want)

F# C#
always put your horse away dry, son, always put your horse away dry
F# F#/A# B C
cuz a hot, wet horse ain’t healthy of course
C# F#
so be sure to put your horse away dry
C#
and be sure to thaw the bit when it’s cold, son, be sure to thaw the bit when it’s cold
F# F#/A# B C
cuz if you don’t thaw the bit then your pony’s tongue sticks
C# F#
to the frozen, metal bridle when it’s cold
C#
never judge a man by his clothes, son, never judge a man by his clothes
F# F#/A# B C
you got to look through the dirt and, lord, judge him by his work
C# F#
so don'tcha never judge a man by his clothes

C#
always keep an edge on your knife, son, always keep an edge on your knife
F# F#/A# B C C# F#
cuz a good sharp edge is a man's best hedge against the vague uncertainties of life
F# F#/A# B C C# F#
yes, a good sharp edge is a man’s best hedge against the uncertain vagaries of life
F# A#m D#m B
but I never could sharpen no knife, like the one who gave me advice
F# C# F# C#
yodel-ayhee yodel-ayhee yodeloo
F# A#m D#m B
and I never could sharpen no blade, quite the way he sayed
F# C# F# C#
