[A]
When I was [E] a kid [D] Uncle Remus [A] he put me [D] to bed
With [E]
[A] a picture [E] of [D] strongwall Jackson [A] above my [D] head
[E]
[F#m] Then daddy came in to [E] kiss his little man
[F#m] With gin on his breath [E] and a Bible in his hand
[D] He talked about honor [E] and things I should know
[D] Then he'd stagger a little [E] as he went out the door
I [A] can still hear [E] the soft [F#m] southern winds in [A] the live [D] oak trees
[F#m] And [Bm] [E] [A] those Williams [C#m] boys they [F#m] still mean [A] a lot to [D] me
[F#m] Hank [Bm] in Tennessee
[E] I [D] guess we're all gonna [E] be what we're gonna [F#m] be
[D] So what do you do [E] with good old boys [A] like me?
[E] Nothing makes [D] a sound in [A] the night like [D] the wind does
[E] [A] But you ain't [E] afraid if [D] you're washed in [A] the blood [D] like I was
[E] [F#m] Smell a cave jasmine [E] through the window screen
[F#m] John R.
and the Wolfman [E] kept me company
[D] By the light of the radio
[E] by my bed
[D] With Thomas Wolf whispering [E] in my head
I can [A] still hear [E] the soft [F#m] southern winds in [A] the live [D] oak trees
[F#m] [Bm] [A] [E] And [A] those Williams [E] boys they [F#m] still mean [A] a lot to [D] [F#m] me
Hank [Bm] in Tennessee, [E]
[D] I guess we're all gonna [E] be
We're gonna [F#m] be

[D] [E]
[A] When I was in [E] school, [D] I ran with [A] a kid down [D] the street
And [E]
[A] I watched him [E] burn [D] himself up [A] on bourbon [D] and speed
But [E]
[F#m] I was smarter than most [E] and I could choose
[F#m] Learn to talk like the man on [E] the six o'clock news
[D] When I was 18 [E] Lord, I hit the road
[D] But it really doesn't matter [E] how far I go.
