Hicktown - Jason Aldean
Submitted by Countryboy
Tuning notes:
For the intro riff to sound right you have to downtune the low E string
1 1/2 steps to Db (where 8th fret held down sounds like the A string-
normal tuning 5th fret would sound like the A string)
If you want to play the whole song with this tuning just don't hit the
bottom string when you strum the chords (or use the formation for E and F#
that's in the intro tab)
Intro: (Drop Db Tuning)

We let it[Db] rip[E-F#]... when we got the money

It gets wild...yeah but that?s the way we get down
In a Hicktown
(intro riff/chords) (x2)

Well you can see the neighbors butt crack nailing on his shingles
And his woman?s? smokin? Pall Mall?s watchin? Laura Ingles

Yeah my buddies and me are goin? muddin? down on Blue Hole Road
REPEAT CHORUS

We [Db]hear folks in the city party in Martini [E-F#]Bars
