               EAST BOUND AND DOWN    Jerry Reed

INTRO CHORDS  Em C A D
CHORUS:
  G                   A
East bound and down loaded up and truckin'
C                                   D
We gonna do what they say can't be done
             G                      A 
We've got a long ways to go and a short time to get there
      C               D               G
I'm east bound Just watch old bandit run

           Em 
Keep your football on the pedal
      C      
Son never mind the brakes
        A                                     Em
Let it all hang out cause we've got a run to make
     Em
The boys are thirsty in Atlanta
       C
And there's beer in Tex Arkansas
        A                               B
We'll bring it back no matter what it takes.
Bass run up

Go to chorus, lead, 
              Em                   C
Old smokey's got his ears on He's hot on your trail
     A                              Em
He ain't gonna rest till you're in jail
              Em         
So you gotta dodge him You've got to duck him
                C
You've got to keep that diesel truckin'
                A                    B
Just put the hammer down and get a-head

Chorus
