Alex Williams here.
We're at the Gaslight Sessions in St.

[Ab] [Db]
[Ab] Mama and grandmother, [Ab] I know you're dressed in blue.
Tomorrow's town crowds pass you by, they won't have a clue what you're going through.
[Gb]
[Ab] They won't have a clue, you lost a father and a husband just two days ago.
They tell the truth they never seen, they can't be straggled down in the soul.
They [Db] can't match your heart, down in [Ab] your soul.
Cause you know time don't heal, it's just fading like the flaws of an old saloon.
You can find the pain away, [Db] even if it's carved right into you, like an old tattoo.
Like an old tattoo.
I'm sorry dear grandfather, [Ab] you know I've showed up late.
Gotten baby sad for your last few breaths.
Stand by where you laid until [Eb] you're on your face.
I forgot [Db] to say, [Ab] this ain't like every Christmas.
Was it close, a sad wake up.
It was how you done, what else is new.
There were beers in the garage and I was [Db] always getting on.
But I [Ab] love you right, I know.
Cause time don't heal, it's just fading like the [Db] flaws of an old saloon.
[Ab] I can hide the pain away, even [Db] if it's carved right into you, like an old [Ab] tattoo.
[Db] No it ain't just sting that lies under [Ab] the skin.
There's a [Eb] heart that gets scarred but [Db] never sins.
[Db] [Abm]
[Ab] [Db]
[Ab]
I [Eb] know time don't heal, it's just [Ab] fading like the flaws of an old saloon.
You can hide the pain away, [Db] even if it burns a bitter truth.
Like an old tattoo.
[Ab] Like an old tattoo.
[Db]
[Dbm] [Ab]
[Ab] Well I'm helping for more, I'm [Eb] learning.
There's just so many ways of life.
[Gb]
It's a fucked up generation, like all nations never know.
There's a whole lot more like me, just a [B] little too stoned.
Though [Gb] I've been around since [B] 69.
[B] Gonna burn it down and build it [Gb] up, just to make a connection.
I'm just [B] a billiard ball that's tripped and [E] scratched and soaked in [Db] smoke and wine.
Got a little [Gb] too stoned to burn.
[G] What's going [D] on everybody?
