More chords by Waylon Jennings
D G
Why hello there little lady, I'm just a lonesome guitar picker
C G D
You'd never know from the way I look I'm an educated man
G
I got the music in my blood little lady, makes me ramble 'cross the land
C G D
Troubles on my mind, this old guitar in my hand
D G
I left my home and family, I wasn't much more than a child
C G D
I don't count the towns no more, sure don't count the miles
G
I guess I'll never have a home, 'least ways not your kind
C G D
I just stopped here in this bar to try to bring some peace of mind
D G
Well I usually play for my drinks and tips, 'cept when I play for free
C G D
This old guitar and a bag of songs, that's 'bout all there is to me
G
Little lady if you don't mind, I think I'll make a song for you
C G D
I'll sing it down the road somewhere, that's the most that I can do
D G
Lord the music just won't turn me loose, it's a curse to be this kind
C G D
Little lady you'll never know, the comfort that I find
G
In just talkin' to someone like you in this bar along the way
C G D
You sure ain't the usual kind that I find to brighten up my day
D G
And tonight when I lay down along some road to try to sleep
C G D
Just a memory in your treasure chest is all that you may keep
G
No wait now, I got more than that to give, it's this locket made of gold
C G D
My mother gave it to me ma'am, now it's yours to hold
