Chords for Crowe, Lawson, & Williams - Train 45

[D#] Right, 45, [C#] 50 years ago.
Yeah.
You know, people used to tell [A] us in this music we [G] wasn't worth a plug, nigga.
[D] _ _ _ [A] _ Yeah, they wouldn't have said it.
_ _ [D#] _ _ [A] _ _ _
What is that?
[G] That's a plug, nigga.
[A#] _
_ _ [A] You _ [N] _ can't tell me that before.
I got one in my pocket. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A#m] Oh, gracious. [Bm] Oh, my. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Oh, [G] my.
Well, you heard [B] from Paul Williams.
[A] It's time to hear from the [Bm] Mr.
Bandage old man who's here.
All [C#] right?
_ _ Oh, _ _ Jesus.
[Bm] _ _ Well, that's no secret.
[C#m] I _ _ [C#] started picking with Jimmy Martin in 63.
Paul was in the band.
And what a [D#] treat that was to pick with him and Jimmy.
I was pretty much in awe.
I [C#] got to admit, an 18-year-old kid.
[Bm] Hadn't [F#] been more than 100 miles from home in my [B] life. _
And I got [D#] to thinking when I got to town about 3 o'clock in the morning and he didn't show up for a while,
[C#] [B] called out there and Barbara said, well, he knows you're here or [F#m] company him.
And I thought, [F] man, if he don't show [B] up, I don't know what I'm going to do.
I ain't got bus fare to get back home.
_ [F#m] _ _
[C#m] I was _ really_
But [B] anyway, a few years later, two or three years later,
I wound up working [C#] with JD.
He [G#] called me up and we [A] said, man, could [F] you fill in for my [C] guitar picker, Eddie?
He's kind of laid up [C#] for a while.
I said, [F] yeah, I will.
So [B] I went up and was working [F#] with Crow.
We all worked day [B] jobs back then.
_ _ [N] So I filled in.
Eddie got well, came back to work. _
Went on and went on.
So finally, the bass player said, you know, we've got too many people in the band. _
_ _ I said, really? _ _ _
_ _ _ He said, yeah, you know, _ there's JD and there's Bobby and Gordy [C#m] _ and [D#] Eddie and me.
_ _ [A] _ And then there's you. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ So Crow [F] came in after we finished up that night.
I said, [G] Crow, what's my status here?
You want me to move on since Eddie's back?
[C#m]
Am I hired or am I [B] not hired?
He said, well, I thought you knew.
[A] _ _ That fill-in job lasted about five and a half years.
_ Oh, _ [B] _ _
but it used to be _ [C#m] great.
[B] But not only that, I mean, I left [N] the band in 71,
but we never [D#] stopped recording [F#m] and picking together. _
Here's [D#] JD and Crow, all right? _ _ _
