As recorded by Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson (From the 1982 Album WW II) [Intro] Dm [Verse 1]

Dm
Tell us once again this morning

C                               Dm
Old friend how did you win the war

C    F
Everybody loves a hero

         Bb                C                F
It don't matter if they've heard the tale before

    Eb             Dm
And tell us of the time

            Cm        Bb              F
When almost everybody knew you were a star

        Bb                  Dm
And how intelligent you are

C                  Bb   A  N.C.          Dm
Prove that you're alive    Mr. Shuck and Jive

[Verse 2]

Dm
You can tell us of the man

               C                              Dm
Who stole your fortune and nearly ruined your life

            F                      Bb
Or better still, the one about the TV

         C                  F
And the couch and your best friend's wife

Eb               Ebm            Cm
Tell us of grand projects never finished

         Bb           F
With somebody else to blame

            Bb                    Dm
And all the reasons that your fame

     C           Bb   A N.C.          Dm
Just never did arrive,  Mr. Shuck and Jive

[Interlude] G Dm Eb A Eb Bb A Eb Gm B Bm C A F E Eb Ab G Ebm Eb D Ebm B A Eb G B Bb F Eb Gb Bb Db Dm [Verse 3]

Dm
If you can get yourself together

       C                         Dm
Kindly write a criticism of this song

    C      F
How it's exquisitely constructed

        Bb             C                F
And yet mechanical and somehow slightly wrong

            Eb             Dm
And you can put it in your book

          C         Bb         F
About the enemy you never even met

             Bb                    Dm
You know you just might make it yet

    C                 Bb  A N.C.          Dm
But somehow you'll survive  Mr. Shuck and Jive

[Outro] Dm
