D When it comes to hitchin' the boat up Backin' down the ramp in my old truck G To find a bunch of logs, to catch a bunch of hogs D Yeah, I wrote the book, yeah, I wrote the book D If you wanna learn to throw a curve right Catch a clean up lookin' on a third strike G Talk a little smack while he's walkin' back Yeah, I wrote the book Chorus: D But there's one that lays by the lamp on the nightstand One that says don't cuss and don't fight G Or let the bottle turn you into a different man D But damn if I don't do it every Friday night Those get you into Heaven letters in red Ain't gettin' read enough to keep me on a G straight line I'm a Jack of all trades, but man I gotta say D That's one book I didn't write I met a good girl she had her life straight She said she loved that I was good at everythin' One day she left me in a cloud of dust 'Cause I never was too good at pickin' up Chorus: The one that lays by the lamp on the nightstand The one that says don't cuss and don't fight Or let the bottle turn you into a different man But damn if I don't do it every Friday night Those get you into Heaven letters in red Ain't gettin' read enough to keep me on a straight line I'm a Jack of all trades but man I gotta say That's one book I didn't write D Yeah, the good Lord knows I need it G I didn't write it, but I probably oughta read it Chorus: The one that lays by the lamp on the nightstand One that says don't cuss and don't fight Or let the bottle turn you into a different man But damn if I don't do it every Friday night Those get you into Heaven letters in red Ain't gettin' read enough to keep me on a straight line I'm a Jack of all trades but man I gotta say That's one book I didn't write That's one book I didn't write That's one book I didn't write | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsD G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
