[C#] [A] [C] [E] [A]
[F#] [E] [A] Me and Jimmy [D] Rogers used to [E] ride them rolling boxcars in [A] the summertime.
[D] [A] Jimmy he'd play [D] his guitar, [E] I'd lay back and watch the stars [A] and sip my wine.
[D] Me and Audie Murphy [A] used [D] to crawl out on our bellies through [A] the German line.
[D] Audie I [E] won't leave you here, I'll pull you through cause [Bm] you know [A] you're a friend of mine.
[D] Me and Bill Rizzuto, didn't we move like lightning round there [A] on the double play.
[D] I'd look over in the stands [B] and Marilyn would see me and [E] she'd smile and wave.
[Bm] [A] Hell no Coach [D] Lombardi, this [E] old broken back ain't nothing [A] if the game was safe.
And fellas if [D] I don't pull through [E] just put a little golden football [A] on my grave.
[C#] [D] John Wayne he once said to me, them Japs will take that island
and we've got to save the old red [A] white and blue.
[D] Someone's got to swim out to that submarine and warn [F#m] them,
[B] you know T I'd hate like [E] hell to ask you to.
[A] Me and Sugar [D] Ray we [E] used to spar together up there [A] in old Stillman's gym.
Knowing [D] someday it would be [E] the garden and a championship [A] for me or him.
[D] And Cupid no one in this town is man enough to back you when [A] Frank Miller comes.
[D] Come high noon [E] I'll walk with you, I've had a few but I know [A] how to use a gun.
[D] [E] [A]
[D] Betty Grable don't you cry, you know you can be a star
and with my drinking I just [A] hold you back.
[D] So go on sign the contracts [B] kid and I'll read about you in some [E] old newspaper from some rack.
