I am normally not a big fan of the "new" post 1990 country music scene. I
play a resonator guitar mostly bottleneck slide, delta blues, muddy waters,
bluegrass and rock music. But, the first time I heard this song I loved
it. It sounds great especially on a round neck resonator guitar. Anyway,
just thought I would try to tab it out using an alternate tuning on my
resonator. This is my interpretation and I think it sounds really great!!!
You can also use an acoustic guitar if you don't have a resonator. Heres
how it is.........email me if you have any questions or comments good or
bad! ****NOTE****I play this version with a slide and finger pick******

Well we pulled up to a motel, In the middle of the night.

1. I was gassing up my Firebird, When I heard her callin' me.
2. Next thing she was runnin' at me, Tellin' me to lay that hammer down.
CHORUS
With a redhead ridin' shotgun, And a pistol by my side
3. **PLAYED SOFTLY**
We were counting all the money, Smoking stolen Marlboro Lights.
