[VERSE 1]
D G A D Well I'm a kid with a guitar trying to play Nuages when they ask. G A# D Where does your style come from? D G D I know what you mean, 'cause I learned to sing G A D Listening to Blue Yodel number 1. Bm F#m G We love Hank and Lefty, Bob Wills, Ernest Tubbs and Johnny Cash, Em A but if we had to pinpoint the start of who we are we'd go back.
[CHORUS]
G D A D To Django and Jimmie, Paris and Mississippi. G D A A young singing brakeman, a jazz playing gypsy. G D F# G There might not have been a Merle or a Willie, Em A D if not for Django and Jimmie.

[VERSE 2]
D G A D Through the 20's and 30's Jimmie sang his way to the top, G A# D despite of those old TB blues. D G D Django was a star, he burned up a guitar G A D with just two good fingers to use. Bm F#m G You can't turn back time or put more sand in the glass, Em A but sometimes at night, I close my eyes and go back...
[CHORUS]
G D A D To Django and Jimmie, Paris and Mississippi. G D A A young singing brakeman, a jazz playing gypsy. G D F# G There might not have been a Merle or a Willie, Em A D if not for Django and Jimmie. G D F# G There might not have been a Merle or a Willie, Em A D if not for Django and Jimmie.
