Chords

Transcribed from Waylon Jennings Classic Albums Collection, which I believe is from a High Res audio site. Notes: In the Intro, 5b* is a 1/4 bend. Also, if you listen you will hear some B chords can be played as a B/F#. Easy way to play this is to capo 2 (transpose this -2 at the bottom) and play A, D, E. [Intro]

[Verse 1]
B                     E
Three fingers whiskey pleasures the drinkers

    B                                           F#
And moving does more than the same thing for me

B                      E         B
Willy he tells me that doers and thinkers

                                F#       B
Say moving is the closest thing to being free

                                   E
Well he's rosined his riggings and laid back his wages

     B                              F#
He's dead set on ridin' the big rodeo

B                        E       B
My woman's tight with an overdue baby

                               F#           B
And Willy keeps yelling, "Hey, Gypsy, let's go"
[Chorus]
F#                      E          B
Willy, you're wild as a Texas Blue Norther

F#                         E          B
Ready rolled from the same makings as me

                                       E            B
Well, I reckon we're gonna ramble 'til Hell freezes over

                    F#        B
Willy the wandering Gypsy and me
[Verse 2]
                            E
Now, ladies, we surely will take of your favors

    B                                      F#
And we'll surely warn you there never will be

  B                             E            B
A single soul living that could put brand or handle

                       F#        B
On Willy the wandering Gypsy and me

                              E
We'll dance on the mountains, shout in the canyons

    B                                       F#
And swarm in a loose herd like wild buffalo

B                         E           B
Jammin' our heads full of figures and angles

                             F#      B
And tellin' us stuff that we already know
[Chorus]
F#                      E          B
Willy, you're wild as a Blue Texas Norther

F#                         E          B
Ready rolled from the same makings as me

                                       E            B
Well, I reckon we're gonna ramble 'til Hell freezes over

                    F#        B
Willy the wandering Gypsy and me
[Outro]
     F#                      E          B
Hey, Willy, you're wild as a Texas Blue Norther

F#                         E          B
Ready rolled from the same makings as me

                                     E            B
And I reckon we're gonna ramble 'til Hell freezes over

                    F#        B
Willy the wandering Gypsy and me
