Backwards by Rascal Flatts INTRO G F I was sitting on a bar stool C G C G In a barbecue joint in Tennessee F When this ole boy walked in C D D/Eb And he sat right down next to me Em C F C I could tell he’d been through some hard Times Em C F C There were tearstains on his old shirt F And he said "ya wanna know what ya get C G When you play a country song backwards?" CHORUS G Ya get your house back Ya get your dog back Ya get your best friend Jack back Ya get your truck back Ya get your hair back Ya get your first and second wives back C Your front porch swing Your pretty little thing Your bling bling bling And a diamond ring G Your get your farm and a barn and the boat And the harley First night in jail with Charlie D Sounds a little crazy, a little scattered And absurd G But that’s what you get When you play a Country song backwards VERSE 2 C Well I never heard it said quite like that G It hit me in the face 'cause that’s where I'm at C I almost fell flat out on the floor D He said "Wait a minute, that’s not all There's even more" CHORUS 2 G Ya get your mind back Your nerves back Your first heart attack back You get your pride back, You get your life back You get your first real love back C You get your big screen tv, A dvd and a washing machine G You get the pond and the lawn The bail and the mower You get to go back where you Don’t know her D It sounds a little crazy A little scattered and absurd G But that’s what you get When you play a country song backwards Individual Notes G F E Eb D C# C A Bb B C Instrumental Break (Chords) C G C D Individual Notes C D C D F# F E VERSE 3 C We sat there and shot the bull About how it would be D D D D If we could turn it all around And change this C-R-A-P G Ya get your house back Ya get your dog back Ya get your best friend Jack back Ya get your truck back Ya get your hair back Ya get your first and second wives back C Your front porch swing Your pretty little thing Your bling bling bling And a diamond ring G Your get your farm and a barn And the boat And the harley First night in jail with Charlie Ya get your mind back Your nerves back Your first heart attack back You get your pride back, You get your life back You get your first real love back C You get your big screen tv, A dvd and a washing machine G You get the pond and the lawn The bail and the mower You get to go back where you Don’t know her D It sounds a little crazy A little scattered and absurd G But that’s what you get When you play a country song backwards!
