Chords for Keith Whitley Medley by Ricky Scaggs & Dierks Bentley (Part

This goes to an artist named Danny Delmar.
[B] _ _ _
First goes [Eb] to a Kentucky Anticast. _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ His powerful voice is [Eb] still not unanswered. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Another [N] 25 years later, his music is still as fresh as his powerful voice.
_ Here's a look at the one artist. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] Thank you, thank you [Eb] for everything.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Bb]
He [Eb] could instinctively [Gm] have sang a country song and make it [F] count.
And inspire a [Db] generation of artists to follow.
[Eb] For my money, [Gbm] he really had the _ [B] purest country singing voice of his generation.
[A] First time, I always [G] thought I would win the league. _
First thing I really [Gb] heard about Keith was [G] just his [Gb] love for music.
_ [Am] _ [Em] I loved it.
Both [Gb] of us shared through music.
I knew there was a destiny [B] in his voice.
[E] Hey everybody, Tom from Savannah, Kentucky.
[Ab] _ _ _ _
He [G] sang a song for fans [Abm] that didn't need [Gb] to be touched.
He managed to pick songs [G] [F] that were not only great melodies, great [G] songs, and all that good stuff.
But it seemed like it was stuff that he just really, really believed in.
[C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [E] So good.
[C] _ _ _ Yes, yes, [D]
yes.
Keith had this [G] magnetic personality.
I think it was [E] a combination.
I mean, [G] he did get great songs.
He knew great music.
And he [Eb] had the whole package. _
[Gb] _ _ After over four albums, Keith was on [Db] top of the world with a rising career and a young family.
Then his promising [Eb] future was cut short when he [E] died in 1999 at the age of 34.
[G]
He had a demon [Abm] that he could not put [Em] his foot on [Gb] his neck.
That _ alcohol, coal, it [D] was poisoning him.
And I loved [B] him with my whole heart.
_ [Bb] _ The [B] potential of this man was about to be realized.
It was [Gm] a tragic loss of hope.
It was _ very difficult when Keith died.
[D] Jesse was right at the point of [G] talking and learning.
He always said, watch your [D] daddy's bus.
He said it [Gm] was my former wife, watch your daddy's [G] bus.
For a couple weeks after Keith passed away, it broke my heart.
[C] As any mother would [Gm] do, I tried to teach both Morgan and Jesse
and let them know that Keith was a good man.
I can't tell you how many times I've been by myself and just [F] parked out in the middle of the field
and put on a session of Keith Ripley and just listened to the whole thing.
[Gm] And when I listen to his music, I [F] feel like [G] he's right here.
And every time, I feel like I can talk [Gm] to my dad listening to his [Bb] music. _
[Ab] Yeah.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] Just one second here and to acknowledge these two people.
First of all, Derek, I want to thank you for a great job.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] Let's take a quick look.
We're going to start with a little bit of music.
_ _ [C] _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [Eb] Guys, [B] take it away.
Thank you.
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And my [F] head is back.
_ _ _ _ [E] [G] You've been saying, but my gut's burnt.
On the [A] other side of the pack.
[C] _
_ _ _ _ I don't mind this waiting.
_ [F] Don't mind this running back.
_ _ _ _ But if you're gonna cheat on [G] me, don't cheat on my [C] home pack.
_ _ _ _ [F] How can I stand up to my [C] friends and look them in the eye?
And dig to questions that [Dm] I know [C] would be nothing [G] but lies. _ _
_ _ _ You think [C] it's your last night, making me a [F] clown. _
_ _ _ But if you're [Cm] gonna cheat [G] on me, don't cheat on [C] my home pack. _
_ _ [Em] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ [G] [F] How can I stand up to my [C] friends and look them in the eye?
[F] And [C] dig to questions that I know would be nothing [G] but lies. _
_ _ _ You think it's your last night, making me [F] a clown. _
_ _ _ But if you're [G] gonna cheat on me, don't cheat on my home [C] pack.
_ _ _ _ If you're gonna cheat on [G] me, don't cheat on my home _ _ _ [C] _ pack. _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
