That Was Us

[Verse]
C F C
Twenty dollars out of momma's purse bought us a tank of gas
F C G
And a pack of tobacco when, we was just teenage kids.
C F C
Me and Jack and Danny we'd go driving round
F C
If there was trouble to be found, heh, then we found it quick.

[Chorus]
Am G C
Cuttin' donuts in the fields 'till old man Smith would call the cops
Am G
And he'd come running out with a shotgun 'cause we was
C
Running down his crops.

[Próxima Parte]
Dm Em F G
And I reckon he's still wonderin who that was,
N.C C F G
That was us.

[Verse]
C F C
Some of these local boys moved on but we never changed a bit
F C G
Never had a scrap of sense, at least that's what some folks said.
C F C
Yeah we finally turned old enough to buy our own beer
F C
Don't remember about that year, just lucky that were not dead.
Am G C
'Cause somebody said they saw some boys with a ute looked just like mine
Am G C
Trying to pull down that old water tank that sits out by the railway line.
Dm Em F G
People wonder why it leans the way it does.
N.C C F G
That was us.
Am G C
Seems like small towns never change but things get tough when times get hard
Am G C
And they say when he got sick, old man Smith would have lost that farm
Am G C
'Cause he was getting way behind on all his bills
Am G C
But someone came and brought his crops in from the fields
Dm Em F G
Yeah folks 'round here still don't know who that was
N.C C F G C F G
That was us.

[Chorus]

Somebody said they saw some boys with a ute looked just like mine
Am G C
Trying to pull down that old water tank that sits out by the railway line.
C F G
That was us
C F G C G
Yeah that was us.
