C Then there was the time I saw the great Hank Williams singing on the stage in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania E and he was all dressed up in drag C From his rose red lips to his rhinestone hips he belted out song after song E as he drank from a brown paper bag C And the songs he sang of love and pain so pure perfect reflections of human imperfections, E it damn near choked me up D A E But the rest of the show, was kind of slow And then someone woke me up [Instrumental] C C C E E E C C C E E E e|---------0---0---0-----------0---0---0-----------0---0---1-----------0---0---0--| B|---------1---1---1-----------0---0---0-----------1---1---0-----------0---0---0--| G|---------0---0---0-----------1---1---1-----------0---0---1-----------1---1---1--| D|---------2-2-2---2-2---------2---2---2-----------2-2-2---2-----------2---2---2--| A|---------3---3-3-3---3-2-1---2-2-2---2-2-0-1-2-3-3---3-3-3-2-3-2-1---2-2-2---2--| E|-0-1-2-3-------------------0-0---0-0-0-----------------------------0-0---0-0-0-2| C C C E E E D D A A E E e|---------0---0---0-------------0---0---0-----------2---2---0---0---0---0----------| B|---------1---1---1-------------0---0---0-----------3---3---2---2---0---0----------| G|---------0---0---0-------------1---1---1-----------2---2---2---2---1---1----------| D|---------2-2-2---2-2-----------2---2---2---------0-0---0---2-2-2---2---2----------| A|-0-1-2-3-3---3-3-3---3-2-1-0---2-2-2---2-2-2-3-4-----0---0-0---0---2-2-2---0-1-2-3| E|-----------------------------0-0---0-0-0-------------------------0-0---0-0--------| C Later on the Astros were silently beating the living crap out of Cincinnati on the E TV above and a little to the left of the great Hank Williams' head C As a busty suicide blonde waitress poured him a double shot of 'whatever you got' and laughingly said E "I thought you were dead" C The pool balls cracked as he tilted his head back and told her how he had been a big star E but now country music was full of freaks D A E He sat there, in the TV glare Mascara streaked his cheeks [Instrumental] C C C E E E C C C E E E e|---------0---0---0-----------0---0---0-----------0---0---1-----------0---0---0--| B|---------1---1---1-----------0---0---0-----------1---1---0-----------0---0---0--| G|---------0---0---0-----------1---1---1-----------0---0---1-----------1---1---1--| D|---------2-2-2---2-2---------2---2---2-----------2-2-2---2-----------2---2---2--| A|---------3---3-3-3---3-2-1---2-2-2---2-2-0-1-2-3-3---3-3-3-2-3-2-1---2-2-2---2--| E|-0-1-2-3-------------------0-0---0-0-0-----------------------------0-0---0-0-0-2| C C C E E E D D A A E E e|---------0---0---0-------------0---0---0-----------2---2---0---0---0---0----------| B|---------1---1---1-------------0---0---0-----------3---3---2---2---0---0----------| G|---------0---0---0-------------1---1---1-----------2---2---2---2---1---1----------| D|---------2-2-2---2-2-----------2---2---2---------0-0---0---2-2-2---2---2----------| A|-0-1-2-3-3---3-3-3---3-2-1-0---2-2-2---2-2-2-3-4-----0---0-0---0---2-2-2---0-1-2-3| E|-----------------------------0-0---0-0-0-------------------------0-0---0-0--------| C When I was only sixteen years old I went from Houston to Abilene with a spunky stunningly handsome woman E in a Volkswagen Bug C She was grown with some kids all her own, a committment-free divorcee, E and I was a man in love C We had only one 8-track tape but it was of the late great Hank Williams and E we sang in two-part harmony D A E "Hey good lookin', how's about cookin' Something up with me" [Instrumental] C C C E E E C C C E E E e|---------0---0---0-----------0---0---0-----------0---0---1-----------0---0---0--| B|---------1---1---1-----------0---0---0-----------1---1---0-----------0---0---0--| G|---------0---0---0-----------1---1---1-----------0---0---1-----------1---1---1--| D|---------2-2-2---2-2---------2---2---2-----------2-2-2---2-----------2---2---2--| A|---------3---3-3-3---3-2-1---2-2-2---2-2-0-1-2-3-3---3-3-3-2-3-2-1---2-2-2---2--| E|-0-1-2-3-------------------0-0---0-0-0-----------------------------0-0---0-0-0-2| C C C E E E D D A A E E e|---------0---0---0-------------0---0---0-----------2---2---0---0---0---0----------| B|---------1---1---1-------------0---0---0-----------3---3---2---2---0---0----------| G|---------0---0---0-------------1---1---1-----------2---2---2---2---1---1----------| D|---------2-2-2---2-2-----------2---2---2---------0-0---0---2-2-2---2---2----------| A|-0-1-2-3-3---3-3-3---3-2-1-0---2-2-2---2-2-2-3-4-----0---0-0---0---2-2-2---0-1-2-3| E|-----------------------------0-0---0-0-0-------------------------0-0---0-0--------| C Back at the bar they were calling last call so I gave the barmaid a credit card E to pay up my tab C The TV was turned off and the stage was dark and the great Hank Williams was gone E so I asked her to call me a cab C She said if you like I can give you a ride, so there we were out the door E and into the city of brotherly love D A E Into the night, out of sight, In a VW Bug
