Hank Williams III – The Outlaw Ways (Guitar)

B
You know your grandpa was one of my heroes, hank.

E
David, you were always one of mine.

F#
You know how I love them old Luke The Drifter songs

E                B
Man, how I loved "The Ride."

E                                B
That song got me, all balled up, real deep inside

F#
That's the same way that I felt,

E                           B
The day that I heard Waylon died

F#      B
Ol' Jr. once said it best.

E
A country boy can survive.

F#
Yeah I don't think you even started man

E                      B
To hit your hellbilly stride

E
It's the Outlaw Ways, living day by day,

            B
it's in the songs that we play,

F#                                  E
Might smoke a little, might drink a lot.

F#                               E
Brothers of the road with broken hearts.

B                                     A
If you think you might understand our crazy ways.

E                              B

B                 F#      B      F#        B
The ol' Louisiana Hayride always respected Hank,

E                     B             E
it's a shame that the Opry don't do the same.

F#
With all of them impersonators at the door.

         E                                                 B
And they still won't reinstate the King of Country Music's name.

B
I've got my kin folks they can't take that away from me.

E
You've been doing your own thing.

F#
You know that's how it ought to be.

E
Yeah you know you could've took the easy

                         B

B
You put the cunt back in country

                           E
And the dick back in Dixie too.

F#
Hell you know I was being a rebel,

                 B
doing what I had to do.

B
Sometimes you got to do a little more than

F#             B
just kick down their door.

E
You mean like Johnny Cash in "A boy named Sue."

F#
Remember back when you told them to kiss your ass?

E                                                B
Then you hit them with that "Longhaired Redneck" too.
