Waylon Jennings – Gi Joe (Guitar)

G                                       C/G                  G
  Well he smoked those Camel cigarettes about three packs a day

                                          D
  Nicotine stains on his fingers when he'd stretch them out to play

    G                            C/G              G
  That old "Midnight special" is one he loved to do

                             D                G
  Then he'd sing "I'm walking the floor over you"

G                                     C/G               G
  TV preachers and welfare checks for him just had no place

                                                 D
  But he'd take his time to tune real good when he sang "Amazing grace"

          G                          C/G              G
  He'd say boys i'm old and crazy but i still give a damn

                                        D             G
  And i still think the boys got screwed over in Vietnam

      C/G              G
He'd drag out that old uniform

       D                        G
And say "they used to call me slim"

    C/G                G
He never could get it buttoned up

                              D
But the pride looked good on him

  G
He still feels the way he felt

     C/G           G
Over forty years ago

                      D
Here's to the old man

                G
Here's to G.I. Joe

G                                 C/G                G
  He only sang the old songs,he's standing still in time

                        D                  G
  "My Phillipino baby",right there on his mind

                                      C/G             G
  Then he'd talk about the big one,the war we didn't lose

                                    D                 G
  He'd pick a little bit like Travis "Re-Enlistment blues"

G                      D
  Here's to my old man

                    G
  And all the G.I. Joe's
