Well it was

{G}

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] all that I could

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] do to keep from

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] cryin'

Some

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)

on the Perfect Fifth] call me by my

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth]

Verse 2

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)

on the Perfect Fifth] to call me Waylon

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] Jennings

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] And you don't have

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] to call me Charley

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] Pride

[C7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] Merle Haggard any-

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] more

[D7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Major Second] Even though you're on my fightin'

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] side

Chorus

And I'll

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] hang around as long as you will

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] let me

and I

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] never min-

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] ded standing in the

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] rain

[C7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Unison]

But

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] you don't have to call me darlin'

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] ..darlin'

You

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] never even

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] call me by my

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] name

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth]

Verse 3

Well

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] I've heard my name

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] .. a few times in

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] your phonebook (hello hello)

And I've

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] seen it on

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] signs where I've

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] played

[C7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Unison]

But the

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] only time I know I'll

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] hear David Allan

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] Coe

[D7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Major Second] when Jesus has his final judgement

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] day

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth]

Repeat Chorus

Recitation
Spoken, lightly vamping

Well a

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song

And he

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] told me it was the perfect country and western song

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] I wrote him back a letter and told him

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] It was not the perfect country and western song

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] Because he hadn't

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] said anything at all about mama

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] trains or trucks or prison or gettin'

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] drunk

Well he

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] sat down and wrote another verse to the song and he sent it to me

And	[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fifth] after reading it I realized

That my

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] friend had written the perfect country and western song

And

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] I felt obliged to include it on this album the last verse goes like this

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] here

Verse 4

Well I was

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] drunk the day my

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] mom got out of

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] prison

And I

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] went to pick her

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] up in the

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] rain

[C7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Unison]

But be-

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] fore I could get to the station in a

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] pickup

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] truck

[D7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Major Second] .. She got run'd over by a damned old

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] train

Outro Chorus

So I'll

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] hang around as long as you will

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] let me

and I

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] never minded

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] standing in the

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] rain

[C7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Unison] oh!

But

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] you don't have to call me darlin'

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] .. darlin'

You

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] never even

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] call me

Well I

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] wonder why you don't

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] call me

Why

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] don't you ever

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] call me by my

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] name?

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison]
