Waylon and Willie The Year That Clayton Delaney Died Chords

_ _ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ _
[C] I remember the [G] day that Clayton Dulaine died. _
_ [F] He said for the last two weeks that he [C] suffered and cried. _
_ [F] Made a big impression on me, although I was a [C] barefoot kid.
He said he got religion at the end.
I'm glad that he did. _
_ Clayton was the best guitar picker in our town. _
I thought he was a [F] hero and I used to follow Clayton around. _
[F] I often wondered why Clayton, who seemed so [C] good to me,
[G] never took his old guitar and [G] laid it down to [C] Tennessee. _ _
Daddy said he drank a lot, but I could never understand. _ _
[F] I know he used to pick up in Ohio the [C] five piece plan. _
_ [F] Clayton used to tell me something, put that [C] guitar away.
He said, there ain't no money in it, [G] and it'll lead you to an [C] early grave. _
I guess at the finest minute, [G] Clayton taught me how [C] to drink booze. _
[F] I can see him now, half stone, picking up the [C] love-struck blues. _ _
[F] When Clayton died, I made him a promise I was gonna carry on [C] somehow.
I'd give a hundred dollars if he could only see me now. _ _
[C] I remember the year [G] that Clayton, the lady, died.
_ [Cm] _
[F] Nobody ever knew it, but I went out in the woods.
[C] _ _ _
[F] I know there's a lot of pick preachers that know a lot more than [C] I do.
But it could be the good [G] Lord likes a little picking [C] too. _ _
I remember the year [G] that Clayton, the lady, [C] died.
