[Verse 1]
Am
Jim Bob drinks his
coffee with a
F
Pall Mall and a
Keystone
E
Sits out on his
front
porch with his
flea-infested dogs
Caught a little
shrapnel
from some
F
boom-boom in his
knee bone
E
Pops a half a
Percocet to 
Am
keep the hurtin' off
And they say, "Jim Bob,
go to work, quit
F
livin' for the buzz
Dm
Jim Bob, go to church,"
but
F                  Am
Jim Bob never does
"We don't wanna see you
F
waste your life away"
   Dm
He lights another
cigarette and
F
all he's got to say is

[Chorus]
Am
"All I wanna do until
they
F
lay my body down's
        E
Take my pills, pay
my bills,
         Am
blow the rest all on
some Crown
Fill this Boone and
Crockett holler with '
     F
Country Boy Can
Survive'
           E
Get fucked up on my
back forty, point
   Am
my pistol to the sky
Make it go pow-pow-pow,
somebody gotta go, '
F
Wow, wow, wow
That boy's got
     E
some demons,
he's a hеathen
        Am
Put him at a pew,
he needs somе
Jesus now, now,
now'
I don't know how,
 how,

All I know's I'm

How to play Jim Bob: key, chords and progression

Jim Bob by HARDY sits in A minor (no sharps or flats), and you need 7 chords to play it: Am, F, E, Dm, Bb5, A5 and D.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Am – F – E – Am (i – VI – V – i in A minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: on guitar, F and Bb5 need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
