I don't know the words.
Now the D-18 song, I don't know, I might [Gb] do it, but that's what we're gonna do.
I didn't write the D-18 song.
A lot of people think that they did because I've been known to play D-18 so much in my life.
[Ab]
This is a small gift [Eb] from D-18 here.
[Ab] It's a mail-or-let-alone from D-18.
[Ab]
The D-18 song [E] was written by a gentleman named Jerry Ferris.
Jerry and [Gb] Nancy met up one time out in South Bay, Mexico with the front of sound of the South [Db] Bay Old Trumpet Club.
[Ab]
He sang [Gb] this song when he wrote it.
He writes a lot of [Eb] this song.
[E]
[Ab] So, [Gb] D
[Ab]
-18's over.
Thank you, Mr.
Mark.
This is sometimes called.
I'm gonna go on and get Mark to the car company and get it on my answering machine, sir.

[Ab]
You had one shop in [F] Modessa in [Db] the fall of 64
[Eb] An old shop man was leaving, he was locking up the [Ab] door
I ran out of room fast and [Db] I hollered through the street
[Eb] And he thought he'd get the cars in here, he said, I got this [Ab] D-18
So I gave him a hundred dollars and [Db] I took that sucker home
I [Eb] went up and strung it, hit a chord, [Ab] heard that come
Hit a bridge and full, [Cm] clean, clear, [Db] I'll get it all to be
I [Eb] said, thank you, Mr.
Mark, you made this D [Ab]-18 for me
[Eb] I said, thank you, Mr.
Mark, I'm gonna [Ab] die
[Gm] Once again, [Eb] this old guitar [Db] helped me [Ab] for the night
[F] With a great deal [Db] of evil I'll never write
I said, thank you, Mr.
Mark, [Ab] I'm gonna die

[Ab]
Now I'm out of being, down and worthless, [Db] and I haven't got a dime
[Eb] I wonder if I spent my life wasting [Ab] my time
I said, here you go, this [C] old [Db] guitar's a paper and a pen
I said, [Eb] thank you, Mr.
Mark, you saved my [Ab] life again
I've written songs about my lovers, [Db] my family and my friends
[Eb] A wife and child, and the only home place in the room that [Ab] never ends
Heroes, ho-ho's, rock [Db] and roll, and the honky-tonk queen
[Eb] Rode my old, bad-ass extension on my Mark D [Ab]-18
[Eb] I said, thank you, Mr.
Mark, I'm [Ab] gonna die
[Eb] Once again, this old guitar helped [Ab] me for the night
With [F] a great deal [Ab] of evil [Db] you know I'll never write
I said, [Eb] thank you, Mr.
Mark, [Ab] I'm gonna die

Now I ain't want me way back in 43 [Db] when I was just a kid
[Eb] I believe it's just about the best thing Mr.
Mark ever [Ab] did
It plays real good, it stays in tune, [Db] and never breaks to me
Thank [Eb] God Mr.
Mark found his [F] fine D [Ab]-18
Now that you've got your ears, your gifts, and [Db] your voice, great thing to give
A [Eb] blade of a kind guitar, guitar paper [Ab] still
I've written a lot of [Db] hexes, but the best I've ever seen
Is a [Eb] funky, ETF-1 vocal, Mark [Ab] D-18
I [Eb] said, thank you, Mr.
Mark, I'm gonna [Cm] die
[Eb]
Once again, this old [Db] guitar helped [Ab] me for the night
With a great deal of evil [Db] you know I'll [Bbm] never write
[Eb] I said, thank you, Mr.
Mark, I'm [Ab] gonna die
I [Eb] said, thank you, Mr.
Mark, I'm gonna die
