Willie Nelson – Tired (Guitar)

D                           C**            G**
  My name is Jackson, I was named after my father,

D                                       C**          D**
  I followed in his footsteps down here to this factory.

D                                   C**                G**
  And I ain't complainin', wouldn't waste my breath to bother,

D                                 C**           D
  this work ain't hard, it's only borin' as can be.

D                         C**        G**
  I married Rebbecca back in seventy-seven

D                            C**                D**
  and I still love her and I guess she loves me too.

D                                     C**           G**
  We go to church on Sunday 'cause we want to go to heaven,

D                              C**                    D
  me and my family, ain't that how you're supposed to do?

        Em               D      C**                  G**                D
But I'm tired, Lord, I'm tired,   life is wearin' me smooth down to the bone.

C**             G**            D               Em           Em*
No rest for the weary, ya just move on and I'm tired.

D                                    C**             G**
  Only missed six days and nights of twenty years of working,

D                               C**                D**
  money went to taxes and these bills I've paid on time.

D                                   C**              G**
  Raise I got six months ago, don't meet the cost of living,

D                           C**               D             D
  selling my body for these nickels and these dimes.

Bm                                      C**             G**
  The smell of Becky's coffee rolled me out of bed this morning,

Bm                                        C**            G**
  I showered and I shaved and dressed and pulled my work boots on.

D                                   C**                G**
  Walked in the kitchen and she was starin' out of the window,

        D                                 C*                 D
and the way she said good morning made me ask, "Is something wrong?"

               Em       D
She said, "I'm tired, I woke up tired",

C**                  G**                D
  life is wearin' me smooth down to the bone.

C**               G**                 D
  No rest for the weary, ya just move on

      C**                   G**              D
and I guess we'll just keep goin' till we're gone.

        Em     Em  D                  D
And I'm tired,       Lord, I'm tired,

           Em      Em D           D
said, "I'm tired",      Lord, I'm tired.
