THE RING IN THE ASH TRAY

THE RING IN THE ASH TRAY Key - G Capo at 3

There’s a (G) ring in the ash tray of a blue 95 Bronco
(Actually, a green Volvo)
In a (C) drive way with a sign that says “FOR (G) SALE”
And if (D) you’re the first caller for (C) $1000 dollars
You can (G) take them both and (D) head on down the (G) trail
*But, you will fall on your face. You will trip on your shadow
You will (C) shoot off your toe with a big (G) gun
You will (D) rant and hoot and holler. You will (C) choke on that last swaller
Because,(G) Son, you just(D) bit off a(G) big one.
You can (Em) pray to your Lord. You can(C) run to your (G) friends
But, Son, you just (D) stepped in a big one

You can call yourself “Lucky” and you can call yourself a taxi
You can call yourself and kiss your ass “Good-bye.”
But don’t forget that pair of clean underwear
You’re gonna need ’em in that home up in the sky

Because, you’ll fall on your face. You will trip on your shadow
You will (C) shoot off your toe with a big (G) gun
You will (D) rant and hoot and holler. You will (C) choke on that last swaller
Because,(G) Son, you just(D) bit off a(G) big one.

You can pray to your lord. You can run to your friends, but,
Son, you just stepped in a big one.
Am
BRIDGE…Now, I’m not talking about Frodo and some mythical curse
(G) No, Son, this is real and “real” is much worse
The (Am)Living Dead, the zombies ain’t got nothin’ on me
(D) Don’t touch that ring, Son. You don’t want to see.
(Now, where was I?)

She hid her gold ring in the ash tray of a blue 95 Bronco
In a drive way with a sign that says FOR SALE
And if you’re the first caller for $1000 dollars
You can have take them both and go right straight to hell…*

Because, you’ll fall on your face. You will trip on your shadow
You will (C) shoot off your toe with a big (G) gun
You will (D) rant and hoot and holler. You will (C) choke on that last swaller
Because,(G) Son, you just(D) bit off a(G) big one.

You can pray to your lord. You can run to your friends, but,
Son, you just stepped in a big one.
