Chords for Tom T Hall 'A Head Stone For Harry'

[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ A young boy walked into the [E] summer [B] set pool room.
_ _ _ All us old boys were just [E] standing [B] _ around. _ _
_ [E] The kid said, excuse me, do you know [B] my daddy? _ _ _
He's dead and he's lying [F#] out there in [B] the ground. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ We [E] told him that we surely knew [B] Harry Walker. _
_ _ _ [E] Known him for years, he [B] was a good friend [F#] of ours. _
_ [E] The boy said, well I want to get him [B] a headstone. _ _
I already went out [F#] and picked him [B] some flowers. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Well, we looked at each other, _ _ [E] _ not [B] having no money,
_ _ and we ventured to ask, well, [E] how much would it [B] cost? _
_ _ _ [E] _ $200, _ he said, [B] with his chest out, _
and $20 more _ [F#] to have it [B] in bulk. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D#] He [E] said, you know, daddy, he was real [B] close to Jesus.
_ _ _ [E] He prayed every day long as [B] I can [F#] recall. _
_ _ _ [E] Now I'm afraid when the Lord [B] comes to get him, _ _
_ we might not be able [F#] to find him [B] at all. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Now me and [E] my pals [B] at the summer set pool room
_ ain't famous for nothing [E] but standing around [B] broke.
_ _ _ [E] But something _ about the sad, teary [B]-eyed youngster
_ _ made us think that [Dm] something [F#] was stuck in [B] our throat. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] So [E] we got some _ moonshine and stole a [B] few chickens.
_ _ We [E] passed round the word [B] that a party [F#] was on.
_ _ _ [E] We found some musicians and wood [B] for a bonfire, _
_ and we bush-hogged the place out [F#] on Harry's [B] old farm. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Well, we fixed up a bucket, _ _ [E] and we put [B] Harry's name on it,
_ _ and we passed it around till it [E] nearly was [B]
filled.
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ $246 _ [B] _ collected, _ _ _ more than enough there to [F#] pay off [B] the bill. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E]
Couple weeks later, we sat [B] in the pool room,
_ [E] and someone suggested [B] since two weeks [F#] had passed,
_ go [E] out to the graveyard and look [B] at the headstone _
and see what the young man had [F#] done with [B] our cash. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Now [E]
there on the hillside in shiny [B] gray marble,
_ _ _ [E] a real pretty _ headstone [B] that stated [F#] the fact
_ all _ [E] chiseled in stone there was written [B] this message, _
_ My name's Harry Walker, [F#] and here's where _ [B] I'm at. _ _ _ _ _ _
