I
[A#]
don't [G#] think I discovered Guy Clark.
[A] I think I knew his music [B] the same way I knew Willie Nelson's music and [D#] the same way I knew [A] English.
[D]
[E] It's because of Guy that I was able to have a career.
It's because of [G] Guy that I was able [G#m] to get signed to a label.
[A] [C#m] He's one of the great songwriters of [E] our [E] time.
Whatever [C#m] group of people embrace that and laud [D] that, great.
[A]
[D] [A]
[E]
[Bm]
[D] I'm going to go on record as saying I
[A] I don't tell that.
[Bm] I don't want it [D] duly noted.
I don't know if y'all want to tell on [Em] film.
[E] Well, he's told it.
Damn.
[D] There's the story.
I shouldn't have told it.
[A]
[D]
We were stuck on that [G] right there.
I remember the night before we were supposed to record it, you called me up late at night
and you'd been up rocking all night, messing with a song, messing with several songs because
you were going in to cut several the next day.
I think you stayed up all night before we recorded this.
Oh, we did.
You had reason to stay up if I remember.
Yeah, it cost me [D] 200 bucks.
And you said, now listen to this now, tell me what you think.
And you read this off to me, this last verse, and it doesn't match the other patterns of
the [G] song anywhere, [D] but it sounded perfect.
So we all stood out in the yard, hands all full of [E] watermelon, watched her leave and
watched her go, [F#m] wishing we was in that [D] wagon.

There
[Bm] [G]
[A] was a full moon [F#] that night.
[B] Thousands of hippies out [G] there, stoned.
[A] One cloud came out [F#] of nowhere and it just [Bm] like a claw covered [D] the moon.
[A] I was basically banned from [F#] then on.
[Bm] It was all his fault, pretty [G] much.
[A] I wasn't
[F#m] coerced in any way, you know.
It's [G] all my fault.
[A] So.
A [F#] huge [Bm] wall of clouds [D] built up behind us and started rolling [A] down off the mountains.
And it [F#] was just, you could feel it [F#] coming when it was, it was a big [G] bad ass storm coming.
[A] You can see what I was up against.
[F#]
[Bm] And there was lightning starting to happen.
[G]
You know what?
[A] I could die right here.
[G] I [F#] love scaring people to death, you know.
