[A#m] _ [Cm] [C#] Now, dear friends and neighbors, [Fm] welcome to the Health and Happiness Show.
[C#] I come to you once again, but not from the radio.
_ [Fm] This time the show is brought to [G#m] you by God and all his crew.
[C#] _
[F] He granted [F#] me one last time to come and talk to you.
_ [C#] _ _ [F] [A#m] Now, I've been away a long, long time, [C#] and it's good to be back again,
[G#] _
if only in [C#] your memory, where I [Fm] feel that I'm [F#] always there.
[G#] _ [C#] _ In [Fm] 52, life to me was lyrics [C#] to a song.
_ I never dreamed in 53 that God would call [Fm] me home.
_ _ [G#m] I thought I'd [C#] live and love [D#m] always [A#m] in such a [F#] woods on fire.
I was at the top of my career [C#] _ [F] as a country [A#m] music star.
_ [C#] But it makes no difference who you are, whether you're [G#] rich or poor.
When the [C#] Savior calls, just grab your [G#] hat.
[F#] I've been [G#] down that road [C#] before.
_ [G#] Some people say I died too [C#] young, just 29 years old.
_ But I learned more in those [Fm] few years than most [C#] will ever.
[G#m] _ _ [C#] I [D#] saw things [F] happen good and [F#] bad, and each time I'd write them down.
And with [C#] a pen in hand, [F] [A#m] before too long, a song would [C#] come along.
_ [G#] I wrote about love and life [C#] and things that happen still,
[G#]
[A#] like [G#] the girl who [C#] married but not for love, [Fm] and the mansion on the hill.
[C#] _ _ _
We're treating heart and love-sick blues, the songs I did a lot,
_ [G#m] to further my career [C#] and put me [D#m] at the top.
[C#] _ [F#] _ Some say I became a legend, that my [C#] songs were very real.
[F] _ [A#m]
I guess that's just [C#] because I wrote them [G#] the way I think.
_ _ [C#] Sometimes I'd even write a [Fm] song about [A#m] someone [C] I'd meet.
[C#] _ One [Fm] that I recall was [C#] a bad girl that lived down the street.
_ _ I was at the lost highway [Fm] when Hank Jr.
came along.
[G#m] He became my [C#] inspiration [D#] in so many [C#] of my songs.
[F#] _ Bo Seaforth boy, I'm proud of you.
You found your [C#] way at last.
_ [F] [A#m] You didn't have to depend on me or old songs [C#] sometimes.
_ _ [G#]
You took your talent to the [C#] world.
You let your thoughts be known.
[G#]
[Em] You [C] made your place [C#] among stars, [Fm] and you did it on your own.
_ [C#] But to stay on top [G#] in the music world, [C#m] there's one [C#] thing you should know.
[Fm] Treat your neighbor [C#] as yourself, [Fm] [G#m] and be careful of the stones that [C#] you throw.
[F] [C#] I [F#] did some songs as Luke the Drifter, most of Sears' part.
[C#] But [F] one that touched [A#m] me most of all was the [C#] man with broken hearts.
[G#] _
But you [C#] know there's no broken hearts in heaven, [G#] only peace [F#] and love.
[G#] _ [C#] And I'm so proud to be part [G#] of God's family.
[C#] The _ music _ still within me that the world was waiting for
was [G#m] Silas Jears' ago, and the [C#] backseat of my [D#m] [F] car.
[F#] For on New Year's Day, 1953, _ [C#] God [F] called me home [A#m] to glory to spend eternity.
[C#] _ [A#m] But just [G#] before he called me, he made [C#] everything all right.
_ [G#] He helped me [A#m] understand, [G#] _ [C#] and then I wrote, [G#] I saw the light.
_ [C#] Well, that's my show.
[Fm] I've got to go now.
[C#] That's enough about the past.
[Fm] _
Thanks for [G#m] joining me on [C#]
[D#m] Hank [C#] Williams' [F#] Last Rock.
_ So remember me in spirit, [C#] and remember me in [G#] song.
[A#m] _
And if the good [C#] Lord's willing and the cricks don't [G#] rhyme,
I'll see y'all again [C#] before long.
