Jett Williams - Your Cheatin' Heart chords
Start Jamming...
That does a wonderful job of it.
I don't think anybody honors the memory of Hank Williams any better than this next lady.
Would you make welcome, Jett Williams!
[Bb]
[Abm] Thank you, Keith.
I sure do appreciate it.
Just a minute, we've got to do a [N] technicality thing.
Arranging the ring.
[G]
I'm going to give [Abm] y'all a history [G] lesson, or what I call a Hank lesson.
The song I'm going to do for you is a song my dad, it's one of the very last songs he ever wrote.
It was in his very last recording session.
[N] He never performed it live on stage with his drifting cowboys because the good Lord took him away way too soon.
In fact, y'all might have the old MGM record with the yellow label.
Back then you had an A side and a B side.
The A was to hit, the B was to throw away.
This also happened to be [Ab] a B side.
It never made it to number one until he'd been dead for six [N] months.
What happened was a sleepy DJ one night accidentally played the B side.
The phone started ringing, A side, B side, B side, B side.
So here's a Hank song that wasn't supposed to do a whole lot of anything.
[G] [D]
[G]
Your cheating heart will make you [C]
cry [D] and cry and cry [G] until sleep.
But sleep won't come the [Em] whole [C] night through.
Your cheating [D]
heart [Am] [D] will tell [G] a lie.
When [F] tears [C] come down like [G] falling rain,
You'll turn [A]
around, oh you'll [D] call my name.
You'll walk [G] the floor [Em] the way [C] I did.
[G] [C] Your [D] cheating [Am] heart [D] will tell a [G] lie.
[Bm] [C]
[G]
[A]
[D]
It never makes it to nine o'clock.
[G]
[Em] [G] [C]
[D]
It never makes it to four o'clock.
[G]
Your cheating heart will [Em] find [C] some day
And Greg [D] will love you [G] fully.
The time will come when you'll be [C]
figured.
Your [D] cheating hearts will tell [G] on you.
Oh, when tears come [C] down like falling [G] rain,
Oh, you'll [A] toss around and [D] call my name.
[Gb] You'll walk the [G] floor [D] [G]
[F] the [G] way [C] I do.
Your [D] cheating [Am] [D] hearts will tell [G] on you.
Your cheating [D] hearts will tell [G] on you.
[Em]
