Attitude adjustment - Hank Williams Jr.

ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT

1. Now, I met an old friend in the bar the other night,

    and he got a little drunk and he wanted to fight,

          E                                                                     A

    he jumped up and challenged every man in the room.

    And just about the time he got the words out,

    an old boy jumped up and closed his mouth,

            A                                                                    D      - A

    and used his head for a mop and his butt for a broom.

                   - D                 B7                        E         A         D

    It was an      attitude adjustment, I guess it was his first time,

                         B7                         E                          A

    an attitude adjustment, now he understands just fine.

                 D - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -   D7 - - - - - - - - - -

    He got bent out of shape, then he opened his mouth,

     - - - G - - - - - - - - - - - - -      Bb

    and just one appointment straightened him right out,

                   - D                  B7                    E            A       D

    it was an       attitude adjustment, now, it'll work every time.

2. Now I've got this big old brother-in-law,

     and me and him just never did get along,

                 E                                                A

    ‘cause he just wasn't treating his sister right.

    He got drunk one night and started and beating me up,

    and I went and got a tire tool out of my truck,

            A                                                  D     - A

    and laid him out as cold as a block of ice.

                   - D                 B7                    E          A        D

    It was an       attitude adjustment and it'll work every time,

                         B7                 E                         A

    an attitude adjustment, I made him see the light.

             D - - - - - - - - -  D7 - - - - - -

    Now he says I'm his kind of man,

     - -  G - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -   Bb

    he comes around me with his hat in his hand,

                   - D                 B7                        E        A         D

    it was an      attitude adjustment; I cured all his family pride.

3. Now my girl friend slapped me in the face,

    and I said, "Darling, that was your first mistake",

               E                                                           A

     and then she went wild and her eyes turned red.

    She started breaking everything and screaming loud,

    and kicking me and cussing me out,

               A                                                                     D      - A

    and I gave her a little adjustment on the top of her head.

                   - D                 B7                         E                  A        D

    It was an      attitude adjustment, ah, she loves on me all the time,

                                B7                                  E                            A

    just an attitude adjustment, she's got a whole new frame of mind.

      D - - - - - - - - - -  D7 - - - - - -

    She don't nag and I don't beg,

     G - - - - - - - - - - -  Bb

    we get along, and like I said,

               - D                B7                  E        A              D

     just an    attitude adjustment, ah, everything's just fine. (Well, almost)

4. She called the cops to take me in,

    and I said "You'll never do it , Friend".,

              E                                                        A

    and they just smiled and said, "Oh yes we will!".

    Now sticks to the head and kicks to the shin,

    and several bites by Rin Tin Tin,

           A                                             D   - A

    and I couldn't wait to get into that jail.

                  - D                B7                      E                A         D

    It was an    attitude adjustment, oh, I went along peacefully,

                    B7                       E                        A

    attitude adjustment, they made me clearly see.

                  D - - - - - - - - - - - -    D7 - - - - - -

    So my head is black and my legs are blue,

             G - - - - - - - - - - -  Bb

    and both knee caps are bit clean through,

                   - D                  B7

    it was an       attitude adjustment ,

                           E           A               D

    it made my whole life look brand new.

           - D                 B7                                  E          A                D  - A - D

    Just     attitude adjustment, it made my whole life look brand new.

    (Spoken :)
