   C                          G7
My Daddy used to tan my hide, Out Behind the Barn
                             C
He taught me to be dignified Out Behind the Barn
 F
When he took his strap to me
    C
And turned me down across his knee
   G7                                       C
He sure missed up my dignity, Out Behind the Barn
 
cho
    C                G7
  I got my education Out Behind the Barn
                              C
     I ain't a foolin' no sir-eeee
                          G7
  Passed each examination Out Behind the Barn

                                     C
     And it almost made a man out of me
 
 C                          G7
I smoked my first cigarette Out Behind the Barn
                                  C
And that's one day I won't forget Out Behind the Barn
 F
I got sick you should have seen
    C
How that tobacco turned me green
  G7                                     C
I almost died of nicotine Out Behind the Barn
 
 
  C                         G7
I met a pretty girl one day Out Behind the Barn
                               C
She wanted me to stay and play Out Behind the Barn
 F
She taught me to kiss and pet
 C
That's a game I can't forget
      G7                                              C
Cause we still play that same game yet Out Behind the Barn
 
cho
 
     C                        G7
I'm glad that I can go again Out Behind the Barn
                                  C
And do the things that I did then Out Behind the Barn
    F
Now you might think it ain't no fun
   C
To be a poor ole farmers son
 G7                                              C
You don't know what all I've done Out Behind the Barn
 
    C                G7
  I got my education Out Behind the Barn
                                     C
     and it made a better man out of me,
            G7                         C
     and it almost made a wreck out of me.
