Hank Williams Jr. – Clovis New Mexico (Guitar)

            D         G            D
Well me and Billy, we left Bossier City

      C                        G
And decided that we'd head out west

          G        D            G           D
We'd been East and South but it didn't work out,

C                D       G
We were getting' nowhere fast

G          D          G            D
Me with my guitar and him with his saddle,

C                    G
Tryin' to out do the rest

G         D             G             D
I sang my heart out and he rides them broncs down,

       C           D        G
That's what me and Billy do best

        G          D          G          D
We took Interstate 20 'til we ran out of money

     C                  G
At a place just past Abilene

     G         D              G          D
So I sang at a honky tonk and he broke a bad bronc

    C              D            G
And we bought some gas and some beans

       G           D           G          D
With a whole lotta luck and an old pickup truck

   C                  G
We made it to New Mexico

   G            D            G           D
We pulled up in Clovis and I sure didn't Know

            F        C          G
This was as far as I ever would go

  G           D              G        D
I needed some strings, Billy wanted a ring,

    C                     G
The kind that the Indians make

  G              D             G          D
A voice said "Hello Boys I got silver and turquoise

    F             C       G
And that's when I saw her face

              C       C/B  Am      D            G
That's when I noticed         that girl down in Clovis

               F       C              G
A black haired beauty, she set fire to me

             C   C/B  Am        D               G
A green eyed lady        in old jeans that were faded

            F                       C                       G   G/F G/E C (x2)
Oh I didn't notice what happened in Clovis - but I call her baby

  G              D       G             D
I asked her with care if she'd like to share

    C                         G
Her evening with someone like I

                 D              G           D
I said I ain't a winner, just a hard livin' singer,

     C              D          G
She smiled and said meet me at 9

                 D               G         D
We ate tacos and talked and then we took a walk

       C                  G
In the clean southwestern air

                     D            G          D
Then we went back to her house, I took my guitar

    C          D          G
And sang of my joy and despair

                  D            G               D
She served me her wine and she helped me write lines

   C                         G
To songs that I could not complete

                       D            G       D
And her eyes seemed to say put that guitar away,

        C              D          G
There's something that both of us need

                 D             G           D
What a beautiful sight was her face in the light

       C                    G
of the candles there on the wall

                   D               G            D
And we reached the heights of good love on that night

    F         C          G
And I hope we never will fall

               C       C/B  Am      D            G
And I'm glad I noticed         that girl down in Clovis

              F       C              G
Daughter of a driller,  she's a born thriller

             C    C/B  Am       D          G
A green eyed lady,        kinda wild kinda lazy

         F                       C                       G   G/F G/E C
I didn't notice what happened in Clovis - but I call her baby

G   G/F G/E C  G
Baby
