[A#]
Well, I'm going to play [N] a song that I had stopped playing because I think I was apologizing for too long.
[A] [F#m] It just seems sort of [E] hard, but it's [D#]
[G] one [G#]

[C#]
[G] [N]
Merle Haggard asked
[G] me [F] what my name is, [G#m] and it was really [A] cool.
[G#]
He would just [B] put his guitar there, but [G] I'd stay there.

[E]
[G]
There's more to musicianship [D#] than playing the thing.

[Bm] [Em] I said, thanks for [A] listening.
He said, would you do it tonight?
I said, I
[D] [E]
[A] can't.
It's a dangerous tune for me to [E] not [D]
[E] shred.
[A] I could tell he [E] didn't care about that.
[G] [A] I thought about it in the [G#] interim there before [E] the show started.

[F#] I had jammed my pinky down there.

[F#] [A]
[F#]
[E] [A] And, [F#] you know, things [A] fell apart.

[D] She [E] laughed at what [A] I said.
[D]
[E] [A]
[D] [E]
She said that I'd grow old believing [D] that I [B] was what mattered.
[F#m] [E]
