Just Playin Possum

G                                 
I parked my car round back got the
               C
 shades pulled down
            D7                     
I told everybody includin' my momma
               G
 I was leaving town
D7                  G       
But I've been right here since 
               C
you've been gone
      D7                           
Belly up at the bottom of a bottle 
                    G
listening to George Jones


[Chorus]
                               C
And just playin' possum layin' low
         D7
I've got hundred watts of hurtin'
                   C             
Coming through the speakers of my 
     D7
stereo
                    G              
Don't want to see nobody nowhere I 
        C
want to go
A7           G      D7         G
Just playin' possum and laying low


[Verse 2]
D7                G              
I'm gonna hide my heart and be a 
     C
love recluse
           D7                      
Oh I could cry on my best friend's 
                            G
shoulder but there ain't no use
D7               G               
I need an expert on the pain I'm 
      C
going through
             D7               
So I'll keep George on the old 
                         G
turntable till I'm over you


[Chorus]
                               C
And just playin' possum layin' low
         D7
I've got hundred watts of hurtin'
                   C             
Coming through the speakers of my 
     D7
stereo
                    G              
Don't want to see nobody nowhere I 
        C
want to go
A7           G      D7         G
Just playin' possum and laying low


[Outro]
         C                    G   
Tell 'em Jones he's a playin' 
   D7                G
possum and he's a layin' low
