performed by Waylon Jennings.
Capo on the 2nd fret.
Between E and A,put a E7,it sounds better.
Verse 1:
EABE
Billy,we've come along way together
ABG#m
And through it all
AB
You've been just like a brother to me
EABE
And Billy,we've had our share of ups and downs
ABG#m
Froze our tails sleeping on the ground
AB
When the jobs were few and far between
Chorus 1:
BEA
We've been knocking around together so long
BE
Singing them same old songs
AF#mB
Been out in the rain so long,i swear we're shrinking
Verse 2:
EABE
Billy,lately i have done some thinking
ABG#m
When i look back on our lives
AB
We've sure had ourself a time
EABE
But you know,it's been a wild world we traveled
ABG#m
And it's starting to unravel
AB
We leave so many loose ends behind
Chorus 2:
BEA
We've been bucked off and kicked so many times
BE
And the ground just keeps getting harder
AF#mB
Billy,you know well as i,we ain't getting no younger
Verse 3:
EABE
Billy,another summer's come and gone
ABG#m
Now with winter coming on
AB
I know we planned on heading south
EABE
But Billy,i thought about it several days
ABG#m
And these words i'm about to say
AB
They don't taste good in my mouth
Chorus 3:
BEA
But there's someone who's waiting back home
BE
Lord,if she'll still have me
AF#mB
Guess i'll be saying so long,you go on without me
End:
BF#mB
Ain't no easy way of saying goodbye
F#mBC#m
So be sure and tell 'em all down in Texas,i said Hi
