Chords for Roger Alan Wade - The First Time I Saw Waylon

_ _ _ _ _ [Em] Alright, what do y'all want to hear?
_ _ [G] Well I shoplifted an [C] 8-track tape from J.C. [G] Penney's when I was young
_ _ One called The Silver Tongue Devil by the great [D] Christopherson
And _
[G] _ I caught Bob Dylan on [C] that Johnny [G] Cash TV show
_ _ Turned me on to Willie Nelson, [D] Lord, with nowhere else [G] left to go
_ Oh, that first time I [C] saw Waylon
_ [G] At Memorial Auditorium in Chattanooga, [D] Tennessee
_ And [G] that first time [C] I saw Waylon
_ _ [G] Elvis and the [Dm] Beatles didn't mean a damn [G] thing to me
_ [C] Lord, my uncle saw that look in my [G] eye
Said the boy'll never work another day in his life
[C] A telecaster chicken-picking rhythm, Lord, it [G] sent me sailing
_ That first time I saw [C] Waylon
_ _ [G] _
Singing those Billy Joe Shavers [D] songs
[G] And that first time I [C] saw Waylon
_ [G] _
They [D] turned [G] around and I was gone
Hey, [C] long gone
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ Oh, my [C] uncle saw that look in [G] my eye
Said the boy'll never work another day in his life
[C] A telecaster chicken-picking rhythm, Lord, it sent [G] me sailing
Oh, that first time I [C] saw Waylon
_ [G] That stringy hair and barely [D] hanging on
_ [G] Lord, that first time [C] I saw Waylon
_ _ [G] _
They turned [D] around [C] and I was gone
_ [G] Long gone
_ _ [C] I just wish old Waylon had him an [G] accordion player with him
Yeah, well, you [D] know, as an [G] old song I wrote _ _
_ There's some times I don't know if I'll make it
Some times I wished I could [C] walk away
_ [D] Some times I don't know if I'll make it through
But you know I'm gonna [A] do it [G] anyway
_ I got a guitar and a heart that's been broken
_ A sorry gig and a borrowed [C] cigarette
A [D] song I wrote for them jokers out there talking _
A cherry master choking me and Dr.
[G] P had to die
Yeah, some times I don't know if I'll make it
Some times I wished I could walk [C] away
Some [D] times I don't know if I'll make it through
But you know I'm gonna do it [G] anyway
Alright, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [Am] _ [G] _

I got a Jezebel and a motel for shelter
A jag I've been dragging [C] around for days
[G] [D] And a big mouth that had to go and tell her
What her big mouth mama told [G] her anyway
Yeah, some times I don't know if I'll make it
Some times I wished I could [C] walk away
[G] Some [D] times I don't know if I'll make it through
But you know I'm gonna do [G] it anyway
Yeah, some times I don't know if I'll make it
Some times I wished I could [C] walk away

But you know I'm gonna [G] do it anyway _ _ _ _ _ _
