Chords

As recorded by Willie Nelson (From the 2024 Album THE BORDER) [Intro] G [Verse 1]
G                        C
Last night I had a dream

                        G
That I was Hank's guitar

G
He held me close against his chest

                                 D7
And he wrote "Your Cheatin' Heart"

G                         C
He drank a lot of whiskey

                          G
As he wrote down all that pain

Am7                       D
When he sang it back to me

                     G
His tears fell on my strings
[Chorus]
C
He picked me up and tuned me

                           G
And he played me all night long

C
He cried while he was singing

                   D
All those lonesome songs

C                        D      C
Funny how a dream can be so real

                            G
And make you wonder who you are

Am7
Last night while I was sleeping

D                                 G
I dreamed that I was Hank's guitar
[Verse 2]
G
Then he put me in my case

C                          G
We got into that blue Cadillac

G
As we pulled out of Montgomery

                                               D
I had a feeling that he wouldn't be coming back

G
Next thing I knew

      C                                  G
I was given to the Country Music Hall of Fame

Am7
That's when I woke up

D                                          G
To the moanin' of a lonesome midnight train
[Chorus]
C
He picked me up and tuned me

                           G
And he played me all night long

C
He cried while he was singing

                   D
All those lonesome songs

C                        D      C
Funny how a dream can be so real

                            G
And make you wonder who you are

Am7
Last night while I was sleeping

D                                 G
I dreamed that I was Hank's guitar
[Outro]
Am7
Last night while I was sleeping

D                           G
I dreamed that I was Hank's guitar
