[Verse 1]
B/F#           A             E
I pulled up to a cattle guard
                            A   E
Got out, opened up the gate
B              A                   E
I drove down the long dirt road to the banks
          A  E  A  E
of an old two acre lake
B                   A
We had bonfires and barbed wire
E                           A    E
Fresh caught catfish in the deep fryer
B               A                      E
I jumped out my truck and I said "It's on"
A  E  D  C#
And everybody sang

[Chorus]
B   A
Hey ya'll
E                          A    E
Break out the beer, turn the Skynyrd on
B   A
Hey ya'll
E

A  E  D  C#

B   A
Hey ya'll
E                              A   E

[Verse 2]
B/F#          A             E
A cloud of dust came rollin' in
                                A      E
Blue lights flashin' there were ten of them
B                  A
Sheriff Harper and all of his boys
     E                           A  E  A  E
Said all they had to do was just follow the noise
B                      A             E
He dropped his gun and then his star
                              A       E
Reached in his cruiser pulled out his guitar
B                       A
Said officer "what have we done wrong?"
E                             A  E  D  C#
He just smiled at me and said "nothing at all"

[Chorus]
B   A
Hey ya'll
E                          A    E
Break out the beer, turn the Skynyrd on
B   A
Hey ya'll
E
How ya doin?
A  E  D  C#
Whatcha doin?
B   A
Hey ya'll
E                              A   E
We ain't leavin til' they call the law
