Hank Williams – Family Tradition (Guitar)

   E
   Country music singers, 

                      A
   Have always been a real close family,

       B
   But Lately some of my kinfolk,

                                  E
   Have disowned a few others and me,

                                 A
   I guess it's because, I kinda changed my direction,

   B                                          E
   Lord I guess I went and broke their family tradition,

   E
   Why do ya drink?,

        A
   Hank why do you roll smoke?,

       B                                        E
   And why must you live out the songs that you wrote?,

                       A
   Over and over every body met my prediction,

      B                                               E
   If I get stoned I'm just carrying on an old family tradition

   E                              A
   I am very proud, of my daddy's name,

   B                                                     E                            
   Although his kind of music and mine ain't exactly the same,

                                              A
   Stop and think it over, put yourself in my position,

            B                                     E
   If I get stoned and sing all night long it's a family tradition,

   E
   Why do ya drink?,

        A

   Lordy I have loved some ladies, and I have loved Jim Beam,

   B                                       E
   And they both tried to kill me, in 1973,

                                                       A
