Hank Williams' Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I walked into country[C]
music's [G]Hall of Fame
An old guitar hung on the wall that
[A]wore [D]Hank Williams' name
As I [G]stood and wondered
[C]what a sight to see[G]
I'll [C]swear I heard [G]Hank's old
guitar [D]start to talk to [G]me
[D]

[Verse 2]
[G]
My [C]friend you're looking
at old [G]lonely soul
While these mem'ries locked inside of me
[A]that's worth much more [D]than [G]gold
Oh [C]we were closer than [G]friends
could ever [C]be
Everything we [G]did we did together
[D]in per[G]fect har[D]mony[G]
I would re[C]member one night
up [G]in a [D]hotel [G]room
To look upon his face you'd thing
[A]that his whole world was [D]doom
[G]But as I stood there in the
[C]corner I [G]could see
That a [C]song would soon be [G]born tonight
[D]oh he reached his hand for me
[G]

[Verse 3]
And he held me like [C]a man would hold his [G]girl
I was a closest thing to [A]him in his lonely [D]world
I could [G]fill [C]a story begging of [G]release
That [C]night we wrote Your [G]Cheatin'
[D]Heart another master[G]piece
[Eb]

[Verse 4]
[Ab]
Yeah we wrote [C#]so many
songs just [Ab]like this
And we're proud [Eb]to know that [Ab]we gave to world
[Bb]just a little more[Eb] happi[Ab]ness
[C#]Hank told me just be[Ab]fore he went away
[C#]Oh buddy I'd l[Ab]ike to take you with me
[Eb]but this time you [Ab]will have to stay

[Verse 5]
[Ab]
[Eb]I wa[Ab]lked out of country
[C#]music's [Ab]Hall of [Eb]Fame[Ab]
Still I can hear Hank's old
guitar [Bb]crying all in [Eb]vain
Like [Ab]a child has lost I
[C#]heard its mournful [Ab]cry
Hank I'm so lonesome
I could [C#]die
[C#][Ab]
