Tom: G

G
Forty miles out of Nashville
  C
I had to stop the car
            G
We've been driving all night long
       D
And I didn't know where we were
 G
Whatever I took to stay awake
    C
It just gave me the chills
            G              D         G
And she was going on about Mrs. Hank Williams


[Verse 2]
        G
Well we got to Cincinnati
         C
I had to put her on a plane
         G
She was fightin' with the band
           D
And it was her or it was them
          G
And they called in the cops
               C
Cause we were fightin' and yellin'
               G
And they were looking at her
                  D         G
Like she might be Mrs. Hank Williams


[Chorus]
C                   G
Mrs. Hank Williams crying all night long
C                   G             D
Mrs. Hank Williams waiting up to dawn
G
When they talk about her
       C
She's one in a million
     G
And when they introduce her she's
D         G
Mrs. Hank Williams

G C D G

[Verse 3]
     G
She doesn't watch the show
          C
She just stays in the car
    G
And watches the young girls
    D
Outside the stage door
     G
And they're there to tell you how much
           C
They'd be ready & willin'
    G
To take the place anyway
    D         G
Of Mrs. Hank Williams


[Chorus]
C                   G
Mrs. Hank Williams crying all night long
C                   G             D
Mrs. Hank Williams waiting up to dawn
G
When they talk about her
       C
She's one in a million
     G
And when they introduce her she's
D         G
Mrs. Hank Williams
