How these country music singers, they've always [A] been a real close-knit family.
[B] And lately some of my kinfolk disowned a few of the boys [E] and me.
I guess it's because I [A] kind of changed my direction.
[B] Lord I guess I went and broke their family [E] tradition.
Get off me one more Hank, why do you drink?
[A] Hank, why do you roll smoke?
[B] Why I'm up to you to live off the bone that [E] you roll.
Over and over, everybody [A] made my prediction.
[B] So if I get stoned and sing all night long, it's an old [E] family tradition.
I am very [Bm] proud [A] of my daddy's name.
[B] Oh this kind of music might ain't played exactly [E] the same.
Stop and think it over, try to [A] put yourself in my unique position.
[B] If I get stoned and sing all night long, it's an [Bm] old family [E] tradition.
Don't ask me why do you drink, [A] Hank, why do you roll smoke?
[B] Why I'm [B] up to you to live off the bone that you [E] roll.
If I'm down in a honky tonk, [A] some slick's trying to get me some friction.
[B] Oh to leave me alone, I'm singing all night long, it's an old William [E] tradition.

[F#m] [E] [B]
[E] I have loved some ladies, had some [A] dogs and some camels in.
[A] [B] And they both tried to kill me, [B] 68 to [E] 73.
When that doctor asked me,
well ain't [A] no time to get in this condition.
[A#] I [B] said, hey, I'm just carrying on, it's an old family [E] tradition.
Don't bug me with why do you drink, [A] Hank, why do you roll smoke?
[B] Why I'm up to you to live off the bone [E] that you roll.
Over and over, [A] everybody makes my own prediction.
[B] So if I get stoned and sing all night long, it's an old [E] family tradition.
Good old Johnny Cash, he's the only [A] one that showed up at the hospital with a nice toy train.
[B] Ugly Johnny Denver, they say he like mountain goats and [E] airplanes.
Good old Martha Tucker, we [A] made some nice music and they smoked all my grass.
They said [B] anybody that don't like Hank Williams, they can just chip [E] off.
