Heavy Dudes And Heartaches Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I m[Am]et a [D]yo[Am]ung m[D]an who looked[G]
like he hadn't had [A]a good meal in d[D]ays
You smile kind sir, [G]you don't eat well
when your [A]job is cleaning [D]trays
And it [G]didn't take long to find [A]out
that my songs are the ones
[D]Nashville wasn't fond of
I [G]made all the rounds
and one [A]thing I found
is what this [E]town is really [A]made of
[D]Heavy dudes and [F#]heartaches,
liv[G]ing weeks on corn[D]flakes
That's all you can af[G]ford
when you're working
at the [E]South Nashville [A]Cafe
[D]Snuff queens and bad whis[F#]key,
[G]fooling with them both is [D]risky
I can't afford the [G]life they're livin'
or the [E]little pills they [A]take
[D]Help me, Mama, I got[C]ta get away
I'd [G]love to leave for Joplin [D]today
A money order for just [C]fifty dollars
Would [G]get me out of town
on the [A]next Greyhound
[D]Heavy dudes and [F#]heartaches
Liv[G]in' weeks on corn[D]flakes
That's all you can af[G]ford
When you're workin' at the
[E]South Nashville [A]Cafe
Holi[D]day pains are [F#]startin'
[G]They're comin' after my Mar[D]tin
I'm just another retired [G]songwriter
At the [E]Repo Depot [A]today[D][C][G][A][B]
[E]Hey, the dudes and [Ab]heartaches
Liv[A]in' weeks on corn[E]flakes
But that's all you can af[A]ford
when you're workin'
at the [F#]South Nashville [B]Café
[E]Snuff queens and bad whis[G#m]key,[G#]
fool[A]ing with them both [B]is [E]risky
I'm just another retired [A]songwriter
at [B]the repo depot [E]today[Bm]
[E][Bm][E][Bm][E][E]
You
