Biography:
Turnpike Troubadours is an American country music group from Oklahoma founded in 2005.
The band, whose name is derived from the bumpy Oklahoma toll-roads and their hard lived folk singing heroes, are proof that isolation can be the mother of originality. Cutting their teeth in roadside dance halls and honky-tonks has made a serious impact on the band’s musical style, which walks the line between Woody Guthrie and Waylon Jennings. “Bossier City,” the band’s debut album, is testament to the small towns in which they were raised.

Long Hot Summer Day- Turnpike Troubadours
[Intro]
A E
[Verse]
A
Well I’m Gonna pick up some of these empties Lord.
E
As soon as I find where they lay.
A
Tied off of them jolly and leaving lines.
A E A
On a long hot summer day.
[Chorus]
A
For every day I workin’ on the Illinois River.
E
Get a half a day off with pay.
A
Oh Tow boat pickin’ up barges.
A E A
On a long hot summer day.
[Verse]
A
Well I got me a gal in Pecan.
E
She's a good ole' gal okay.
A
Oh she's sitting there waitin’ by a window fan.
A E A
On a long hot summer day.
[Chorus]
A
For every day I workin’ on the Illinois River.
E
Get a half a day off with pay.
A
Oh Tow boat pickin’ up barges.
A E A
On a long hot summer day.
[Verse]
A
Well Last night we had pork for supper.
E
And Tomorrow it'll be chicken consommé.
A
And a fruit jar full a iced tea.
A E A
On a long hot summer day. Yeah.
[Chorus]
A
For every day I workin’ on the Illinois River.
E
Get a half a day off with pay.
A
Oh Tow boat pickin’ up barges.
A E A
On a long hot summer day.
[Verse]
A
Well we dropped a man off in Beardstown.
E
When we got off yesterday.
A
Gonna get off down in Alton.
A E A
On a long hot summer day.
[Chorus]
A
For every day I workin’ on the Illinois River.
E
Get a half a day off with pay.
A
Oh Tow boat pickin’ up barges.
A E A
On a long hot summer day.
Lead:
Chorus 2x:
A
For every day I workin’ on the Illinois River.
E
Get a half a day off with pay.
A
Oh Tow boat pickin’ up barges.
A E A
On a long hot summer day.
Notes- This song has a real Classic Country bass line. You can get that if you're playing alone by thumping
that E string back and forth with the A string.
I also like to stretch the E string on the 3rd Fret when I'm going back to the A chord.
Have fun with this tab and practice your chicken pickin'
