Waylon Jennings & Old Dogs
D
His picture was in all the papers
They said that a legend had passed
    G
The late evening news did a special report

                                D
And swore that his memory would last

        D
They're playing his records all weekend

                          G
Praising the life that he lived

                          D
Nashville is rough on the living

        A7                        D
But she really speaks well of the dead

    D
The wife that they interviewed crying
Is the same one who left him last fall
        G
And the record producer who called him a hero

                                   D
Is the one who wouldn't answer his calls

    D
The ladies they sit over coffee

                          G
Bragging bout sharing his bed

                                      D
They didn't want him around when he's living

         A7                           D
But he's sure a good friend when he's dead

     G                          D
They observed twenty seconds of silence

       A7               D
At the Opry on Saturday night

    G                                  D
And they're searching the bars and the basements

    E7                   A7
For some souvenir of his life

        D
They're planning a book for September
Showing his plain country roots
            G
Any they're selling the rights to the movie

                                   D
And the Hall of Fame's getting his boots

       D
At the funeral somebody recited a poem

                              G
That told how he suffered and bled

                          D
Nashville is rough on the living

        A                         D
But she really speaks well of the dead

     G                         D
Yeah Nashville is rough on the living

        A                         D
But she really speaks well of the dead
