Hillbilly Bone As sung by Blake Shelton feat. Trace Adkins 2010 by Luke Laird and Craig Wiseman [INTRO] (2 X’s) #9 / / / #9 / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / [Verse 1] Ya I gotta friend in New York City He’s never heard of Conway Twitty Don’t know nothin’ bout’ grits and greens Never been south of Queens But he flew down here on a business trip I took him honky-tonkin’ and that was it He took to it like a pig to mud Like a cow to cud [CHORUS 1] (double with bass vocal) We all got a hillbilly bone down deep inside No matter where you’re from you just can’t hide When the band starts bangin’ and the fiddle saws You can’t help a-hollerin’ yee-haw When you see them pretty little country queens Man you gotta admit that it’s in them genes Ain’t nothin’ wrong just gettin’ on N.C. Your hillbilly bone-ba-bone-ba-bone-bone [Instrumental 1] #9 / / / #9 / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / [Verse 2] Nah you ain’t gotta be born out in the sticks With an F one-fifty and a thirty-aught-six Or have a bubba in the family tree To get on down with me Yeah Bubba all you need is an open mind If it fires you up you gotta let it shine When it feels so right that it can’t be wrong ’mon ’mon ’mon you ain’t alone [CHORUS 1] (double with bass vocal) We all got a hillbilly bone down deep inside No matter where you’re from you just can’t hide When the band starts bangin’ and the fiddle saws You can’t help a-hollerin’ yee-haw When you see them pretty little country queens Man you gotta admit that it’s in them genes Ain’t nothin’ wrong just gettin’ on N.C. Your hillbilly bone-ba-bone-ba-bone-bone [Instrumental 2] / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / [Chorus 2] G7#9 N.C. We all got a hillbilly bone down deep inside N.C. No matter where you’re from you just can’t hide When the band starts bangin’ and the fiddle saws You can’t help a-hollerin’ yee-haw When you see them pretty little country queens Man you gotta admit that it’s in them genes Ain’t nothin’ wrong just gettin’ on your G7#9 N.C. Hillbilly bone-ba-bone-ba-bone-bone Hillbilly bone-ba-bone-ba-bone-bone G7#9 N.C. Hillbilly bone-ba-bone-ba-bone-bone G7#9 N.C. Hillbilly bone-ba-bone-ba-bone-bone [Instrumental 3] / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / NOTE 1: HELP! I can’t get the tab to accept a G7no3 chord. I tried typing G7no3 and G7(no3) and G5add7 neither will display as a chord only as text. So I’m resorting to simply G5.. play G7no3 instead! Can anyone advise me on this? NOTE 2: A common motif in this song is walking bass lines approaching the next phrase; I’ve only bothered notating the first several. NOTE 3: I’m more familiar with Home Free’s vsn; probably influenced this chart. NOTE 4: Last chorus has a distinctive rhythm both the original and Home Free’s cover (they differ from each other). In Home Free’s cover each measure has three accented quarters in a row with a rest on beat 4: low low high rest.
