In the music business is the equivalent of a grand slam homer in baseball.
And by that standard, Willie Nelson is the Mickey Mantle of country music.
His new album called And Then I Wrote contains a whole raft of his home run hits
and makes a mighty good listening.
Here's Willie Nelson.
[C]
Hello, all.
[F] How'd things go for you [C] today?
Welcome, Mr.
Nelson.
[F] Get [D] thee up and walk [G] away
and [F] I'll bet you dread to spend
another [C] lonely night with me.
[F] But lonely walls, [G] I'll keep you [C] company.
[F]
[C] [N]
Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.
That was, of course, a song that the young Sheriff [Am] Farron Young
recorded [B] not too many years back.
Here's another one you might remember.
My good friend Billy Walker, the Grand Ole Opry, did this [Gbm] one.
It's entitled Funny How Time Slips Away.
[D] Well, hello there.
[G]
My, it's been [D] a long, long time.
How am I doing?
[A] [D] [G] Oh, I guess that [D] I'm doing fine.
[A] [D]
It's been so long now,
but it seems [G] now
that [Bm] it was only [E] yesterday.
Gee, [A] ain't it funny how time [D] slips away?
[G] [D]
[N]
Thank you.
A fellow Texan of mine, Mr.
Ray Price, the Cherokee cowboy, some Texas people with us tonight.
Good.
Ray Price recorded this one,
and I'd like to give you my [Bb] rendition of the song [G] Nightlife.
When [C] the evening goes down,
[F] you will find me [Ab] hanging around.
[Cm] The nightlife [A]
[Dm] ain't no good [A] life, [G] [C] but it's my life.
[Db] [D] [Eb] [G]
[C] Many people just like me
[Am] [F] dreaming how old [Ab] you used to be.
[C] And the nightlife [A] [Dm] ain't no good life, [G]
[C] but it's my life.
[F] [C]
Well, listen to the blues. They're playing.
[F] Listen to what the blues [C] are saying.
[G] Mine [C] is just another scene
from [F] the world of [Ab] broken dreams.
[C] And the nightlife [A]
[Dm] ain't no good [Am] life,
[G] but [C] it's my life.
[Bb] [Gm] [C]
[Gm] [N]
One of the greatest thrills of my life, I guess, was when
one of the greatest entertainers of our time recorded a song of mine.
The lady's name was [B] Patsy Cline, and the [G] song was Crazy.
[C] I'm crazy,
[A] [Am] crazy [Dm] for feeling so lonely.
[G] I'm crazy, crazy for feeling [C] so blue.
[Db] [Gm] [Eb]
[C] I knew [A] that you'd love me as long [Dm] as you wanted.
[A] [F] I'm crazy for [Em] trying.
[F] I'm [G] crazy for crying [Dm] and crazy [Em] for loving [C] you.
