Ernest Tubb – Hank It Will Never Be The Same Without You (Guitar)

        G            G7              C
Singers may come and go, but there's one thing I know

           G                      D7
There will never be another to compare

         G           G7              C
Was this boy from Alabam' who gained fame, but never found

         G              D7                G
The happiness he always searched for everywhere

G                                 G7               C
  (Hank Williams showed a gift of God in his many, many songs)

                            G
(He made many sad hearts happy and sent a lot of ramblers home)

         D7                                            G
(Yet his life was filled with misery right from the very start)

             G7                   C
(We knew the truth each time he'd sing of men with broken hearts)

G                      D7                   G
  (And on that fateful New Year's morn, the Lord called him above)

                            G                G7
(And there, I know, he will find the life of everlasting love)

C                                                  G
  (Yes, Hank has finally reached that goal he strived so bravely for)

                      D7
(That of eternal happiness, could anyone deserve it more?)

G                                  G7                  C
  (You know, this life was kind of rough on Hank, fate sort of kicked him 'round)

                          G                      D7
(But through it all, he'd just grin and say, "It ain't gonna get me down")

G
  (And then he'd seek out those in need, for they could have his last thin dime)

G7                   C                                               G
  (For his heart was big, his heart was gold and he worked it overtime)

                                     D7
(You see, Hank was my real true friend, not the fair-weather kind)

           G                      G7                             C
(There was no doubt just where he stood, even when the fault was mine)

                              G                   D7
(To him, there was no in-between, it was either all or none)

 G                                                                G7
(He played for keeps, but he played fair, at last for keeps, he's won)

      C                                              G
(Yes, his songs will live forever, through the ages, they'll be sung)

                             D7
(Like the echoes of a church bell long after it's been rung)

G                           G7              C
  (So Hank, if maybe you're listening, I've heard it could be so)

                   G                       D7                 G
(We miss you, boy,   we miss you lots, but shucks, I'd better go)

      G           G7          C
So as years roll along, we'll just carry on

       G                        D7
But if somehow you find out I'm blue

         G            G7      C
I didn't plan it that way, so all I can say

              G            D7           G
Hank, it will never be the same without you
