[A]
[G] After all I'm standing in [D] the shadows of [A] a very famous [D] man.
As I travel around from town to town, [G] I have a lot of [D] dad's fans and friends come around.
They say I know Hank would be proud of you if he were here today.
[E] Why we're all so glad and we know [A] he would be too that you're carrying on his [D] music this way.
Yes they say Hank was the all time great, [G] and we know you'll be [D] just as good as your dad.
[G] But I just smile and say there'll [D] never be another Hank Williams friends.
[A] That's the part that [D] always makes them sad.

[G] While I'm out [D] there taking my bows, [G] I look up toward the ceiling [D] and say to myself,
Listen dad, [A] just listen to [D] that crowd.
But as the show goes on, the people clap and holler [G] more.
I start to sing [D] another of your great songs.
